Motor Enable Switch Servo Output missing in Rover

ArduRover Rover 4.6

Hi

Wondering why Motor Enable Switch Servo output is only for copter and quadplane. It seems a pretty harmless function. But also one that could be used on other vehicles

Motor Enable Switch

This provides an output that reflects the ARM/DISARM state of the vehicle to control a motor enable/kill switch. When ARMED, it is at SERVOx_MAX pwm, and at SERVOx_MIN pwm when disarmed.

I’m using CH5 to arm/disarm my Rover but also using it to switch a relay that powers the Rover motors by setting Servo 5 output to RCIN5. However what I would really like is Servo 5 to be the arm/disarm status of the Rover . This would allow failsafes that disarm the Rover to also turn off my Relay without using Lua

I looked at the source. My guess is that someone needed this for those platforms, so they implemented it… and no one has (yet) made it also work in Rover.

(I’m looking at SRV_Channel::Function::k_engine_run_enable.)
