#33654 Could you explain exactly what is your goal ?
Because if, for example, you wish to send a "break" on the TX line, yes, you can switch momentarily the alternate function of this pin to GPIO mode, then setting the GPIO to LOW, and after awhile to HIGH and switch back the alternate to UART.

#33871 Yes, I'm trying to implement a DMX transmitter. DMX Protocol states that 22 bits of LOW and 4 of HIGH have to be sent before channel information. I hadn't thought of using the multiplexing function for this. Thank you very much! :D
