No motor 3 when led is enabled

[don1376]

I’ve used this forum for awhile now for its great source of information, 1st time to post.

Have an issue with Kakute F4 V2. Running Betaflights newest firmware with the resource mapping from the setup tab of the boards page.

resource motor 1 B00
resource motor 2 B01
resource motor 3 A03
resource motor 4 none
resource led_strip A02
resource servo 1 C08

When I enable leds in Betaflight, they work but M3 doesn’t. Disable the leds and motor works as should.

Here are the resources from CLI dump.

I’m still pretty new at this, but I don’t see any conflicts in there. Hoping someone can tell me i’m wrong or what to try next to have led and motor 3. Thanks

That combination isn’t possible on Betaflight due to the way the board is laid out and how the functions are coded.

The 2 pins in question (PA2, PA3) share a common timer resource (TIM2), and this resource can be programmed for either motor output protocols or the LED protocol, but not both at the same time.

That’s why when LED are disabled M3 works, but then after enabling the LEDs M3 no longer works.
