Yes, you can set your unused PWMs to any byte value you chose and read it via the dashboard.

P.S. Alan caught my oversight. 255 isn't allowed over the radio link since a pair of them back to back is reserved as a special flag indicating a new packet is starting. You can set your PWMs to 255, but the Master will change them to 254 before radioing the packet back to the OI and your dashboard.
