Single Wire Soft Serial

Disclaimer:

Software Serial is not recommended for RC control links and should not be used to connect serial receivers.

Software Serial List of compatible pins

Not for public viewing yet.

List of compatible pins.

CLI commands to free up PWM 5 and PWM 6:

resource MOTOR 5 NONE

resource MOTOR 6 NONE

CLI commands to assign softserial:

resource serial_tx 11 <pin>

resource serial_tx 12 <pin>

NOTE:

  • The OK means it is compatible, and does not warrant it will work when it is configured as a part of a complete system.

@olexs: B07 (PWM7/SDA) works with S.Audio on 3.2, no extra config needed (I2C resources aren't mapped per default).

Note (2017-07-27) by @jflyper: BETAFLIGHTF3 had a timer assignment problem with pre-3.2 firmware. It is fixed with 3.2, and PB01 and A02 should work as software serial --- need to be verified (29/10/17) by @iwarp B01 confirmed working on 3.2.1
