SBUS Output + PWM Output #6066

Closed hamishfagg closed 3 years ago

hamishfagg commented 4 years ago

Current Behavior

In 2.5 you can choose either SBUS output or PWM output

Desired Behavior

Allow both SBUS output on a UART and PWM output from the normal pins.

Suggested Solution

Since the sbus output is a serial function can the PWM output be left working?

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

My use case is e.g. a arduino-controlled stepper motor pan with a servo tilt. The arduino can receive sbus and use 3 channels for pan, tilt, and a centering switch without having to use 3 separate PWM outputs.

I can imagine it'll be quite common that when someone enables sbus output for use with sbus servos, they may want to also have PWM output for a normal servo, nav lights, PWM switches etc. and it would be great to be able to use the existing pins on the FC for this.
