Support for multiple VOLZ Servos in the same RS485 bus

Hello everyone,

I want to ask if it is possible to configure multiple VOLZ servos in the same RS485 bus with different Actuator ID values?

From this wiki page I see only RS422 is supported as one-to-one connection: https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/common-servo-volz.html

Any feedback is highly appreciated, thank you!

I don’t have any of the serial servos to actually test with, but the code loops over all the channels and if it’s in the bitmask sends it out. So you should be able to have multiple servos on the same bus. In fact we don’t allow multiple buses of the Volz protocol, so a single bus is your only option.
