- S5 (PA15) or TX2 (PA2) can be resourced to softserial for Frsky SmartPort
- 2812LED_Strip share I2C1_SCL pad as default. either enable LED_Strip, or enable Baro/Magnetometer.
- 2812LED can be resourced to S5 (PA15) if using I2C devices(Baro/Magnetometer) the same time with BF firmware
- S6 pad (PA8) can be resourced to Camera Control

Tips
- CLI “defaults” after reflashing
- S5 (PA15) or TX2 (PA2) can be resourced to softserial for Frsky SmartPort
- 2812LED_Strip share I2C1_SCL pad as default. either enable LED_Strip, or enable Baro/compass.
- 2812LED can be resourced to S5 (PA15) if using Baro/compass the same time with BF firmware
- Put a piece of sponge on the barometer to reduce the impact of airflow.
