Hy Jeti Team,

Please creates an update for all ex receivers that allows (after conversion to PPM) to use the unused outputpins for other channels.
Now it makes no sense to use a different receiver than the RSAT2 for PPM.

as an example:
Now you can use an R6 (converted to PPM) only of 6 channels (with mircrobeast).
With a new update you can use 5 outputs from the R6 and 6 channels with an microbeast --> 11channels

best regards

Hello emax,

MicroBeast is a flybarless gyro ;)

The idea is not to extend the ppm protocol. The idea is to get the unused receiver servo outputports used at the smaller receivers.
This means at e.g. an R6
R6-CH1 = Servo
..
R6-CH5 = Servo
R6-CH6 = PPM sum signal

If you add the 8 channel ppm sum signal + 5 channel servo output you will get max 13 possible channel at a R6 receiver.

His example was a bit confusing, because he talked about
6 channel used for the gyro comming from the sum signal and 5 channel out of the unused servo ports. He added the used 6 channel out of the sum signal and the 5 servo ports = 11 channels out of 13 max possible.

The idea sounds interesting. But how should it be implemented, because you have then to map the channels >= 9 to the servo ports 1-5. Channel 1-8 are within the sum signal on output channel 6. Confusing :-)
