This adds support for KCX mod for TX16S MK3

This brings an implementation for TX16S MK3: this uses AUX-USART3 connector on TX16S MK3

  • a compile options is added: -DKCX_BTAUDIO=YES. Please note on TX16S MK3, this disables AUX2

The mod is a tad more complex than on TX15 as the audio connection points are on the non accessible side of the mainboard, so the mainboard needs to removed to solder audio wires

AUX-USART3 KCX Module
GND GND (pin 4)
5V +5V (pin 1)
RX Link (pin 3)
TX Connect (pin 11)
CS Not connected
