How to access PWM output values from LUA script without using up the outputs?

ArduPlane Plane 4.1

I want to use script to make more complex rudder surface air mixing effect.

Suppose the value to be output is (output = lift + aileron + direction - 2000)

Then I can calculate the default PWM output channels 1, 2 and 4.

But if so, I will waste these three channels.

So is it possible to obtain the data of lift, aileron, direction and throttle without wasting the original output channel?

did you manage to do this ?

It has not been done, but now it supports 32 PWM outputs. Usually our flight control board does not have 32 PWM interfaces, so just find a few PWMs without output ports to output.

You can use get_output_scaled to get the scaled output for functions that are not assigned to pins. (mostly, some places check and don’t bother to calculate if there is no pin assigned)
