Is the aim to use UART hardware?

brycedjohnson commented 6 years ago

Yes, it would be really handy to have that as an option for testing. Maybe even a replacement for dshot/oneshot on certain rigs.

Are there any opinions on a format currently? Something following an existing protocol? Plain text for the arduino crowd?

brycedjohnson commented 6 years ago

For now there is the basic CLI similar to betaflight world be nice to use (acsii) for testing. I put a couple functions in there and a motor test would be great as well. Maybe command to 0 to 100 throttle or tell it to go to a set RPM etc...

A compact binary serial protocol would be down the road if it was to be a dshot/multishot replacement. That was just an idea I'd like to test out at some point to see if it would be fast enough.
