At the moment I'm monitoring PWM on the Aux channel, so the switch can activate the lights, and access the menu, but obviously you don't get brake lights. I've also tweaked how the menu works so that you can set brightness levels using the button rather than the AVC adjuster.
For a non-smart receiver, you really need to monitor the throttle and the aux channel, but my prototype only has a single input.
The PCBs I've got coming have two inputs, plus a physical switch on the controller which could be used to access the menu if you don't have an aux channel.
On the software side, the code measures the pulse width to work out whether it's looking at PWM or a Smart signal, and then switches mode.
