While there have been unofficial builds with support for the MyActuator CAN motor drivers it was not officially implemented until now.

The protocol is unfortunately a bit limited only allowing for <100Hz updates but it might be improved by the manufacturer in the future.

For testing the new motor driver support class a demo build of a compact RC style transmitter with the L5005 motor was documented:

The RMD motor mode will be available in firmware v1.16.0.
