Hi,

I am running r589. All looks good on the transmitter set up using PPM input. When I change to PPM+outputs for an Octo build the RX seems to go into failsafe or similar. The outputs seem to work. I can get all 8 motors to calibrate and spin, but no activity from the reciever.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

Seems the issue is already solved in pios_servo.c

Please try flashing the firmware attached using the rescue method.

Nearly there. I used the rescue method and seemed to get somewhere.
I then experienced the following issues:

When the output is configured as PMW no issues.
When the output is configured as Dshot this also seems to work. (I have some issues with the 0-1000 channel input so not using this)
When using oneshot or multishot I experience the same Failsafe issue as earlier.

I noticed an issue with Bank5. If I moved output 7 in bank5 to output 9 in band 6 and leave bank 5 configured as PMW I think the issue goes away.

I think this is viable workaround for me, but it feels like there is still an underlying issue here.

Thanks
