Goal

After WFB-carried FC telemetry is stable in Ground Station (piotr/groundstation#19), optionally forward a small critical subset over the existing wired GS AUX UART so EdgeTX can retain voice alerts/display when the native ELRS telemetry downlink is lost.

Scope

  • new versioned GS→EdgeTX telemetry frame type;
  • volatile EdgeTX sensor values for battery/GPS/link-source freshness;
  • explicit source/stale indication;
  • no change to internal ELRS control link and no injection onto its shared CRSF bus;
  • no persistent model/GVAR writes.

Non-goal

This is not required for the first Ground Station OSD or adaptive-link release. It is an optional handset usability layer after alternate telemetry is proven.

Acceptance

With native ELRS telemetry absent, selected WFB-derived critical values remain visible/announceable in EdgeTX; when both sources are stale EdgeTX marks them unavailable instead of freezing plausible values. Hardware verification belongs to Piotr.
