## Конфігурація PX4

The ARK 4IN1 ESC supports DShot 300/600, Bidirectional DShot, and PWM input protocols.

- **Bidirectional DShot**: Select BDShot300 or BDShot600 in the [Actuator Configuration](../config/actuators.md) to enable eRPM telemetry.
- **[Extended DShot Telemetry (EDT)](https://github.com/bird-sanctuary/extended-dshot-telemetry)**: AM32 firmware supports EDT, which provides temperature, voltage, and current through the BDShot signal. Enable with `DSHOT_BIDIR_EDT=1`.
- **AM32 EEPROM Settings**: Set `DSHOT_ESC_TYPE=1` to enable reading and writing ESC firmware settings via a ground station.

See [DShot ESCs](../peripherals/dshot.md) for full setup details.
