## UART Mapping
- SERIAL0 -> USB (OTG1)
- SERIAL1 -> USART1 (Telem1)
- SERIAL2 -> USART6 (Telem2)
- SERIAL3 -> USART3 (GPS1), NODMA
- SERIAL4 -> USART2 (GPS2), NODMA
- SERIAL5 -> UART8 (SBUS)
- SERIAL6 -> UART7 (Debug), NODMA
- SERIAL7 -> USB2 (OTG2)
## RC Input
The remote control signal should be connected to the “RC IN” pin, at one side of the servo channels.
This signal pin supports two types of remote control signal inputs, SBUS and PPM signals.
## PWM Output
The A6SE supports up to 11 PWM outputs,support all PWM protocols as well as DShot. All 11 PWM outputs have GND on the bottom row, 5V on the middle row and signal on the top row.
The 11 PWM outputs are in 4 groups:
- PWM 1, 2, 3 and 4 in group1
- PWM 5, 6, 7 and 8 in group2
- PWM 9, 10, 11 in group3
Channels 1-8 support bi-directional Dshot.
Channels within the same group need to use the same output rate. If any channel in a group uses DShot, then all channels in that group need to use DShot.
## GPIOs
All 11 PWM channels can be used for GPIO functions (relays, buttons, RPM etc).
The pin numbers for these PWM channels in ArduPilot are shown below:
| PWM Channels | Pin | PWM Channels | Pin |
| ------------ | ---- | ------------ | ---- |
| PWM1 | 50 | PWM8 | 57 |
| PWM2 | 51 | PWM9 | 58 |
| PWM3 | 52 | PWM10 | 59 |
| PWM4 | 53 | PWM11 | 60 |
| PWM5 | 54 | | |
| PWM6 | 55 | | |
| PWM7 | 56 | | |
## Analog inputs
The A6SE flight controller has 5 analog inputs
