PPM output possible somehow?

Is there any way to get PPM output from Ardupilot? I want to take the roll, pitch etc outputs and do my own mixing with an arduino, to allow complex custom control surface mixings, and more servos/functions than my FC board has pins.

Eg. let’s say my omnibus f4 has 6 output pins, but I want to run 9 unique servos, plus gear and lights. For this case the required PPM pulses could be aileron, elevator, rudder, flap, throttle, RCPassThru6, RCPassThru7.

I suppose I could make my arduino read the normal PWM outputs from Arduplane, but then I’m limited to just the 6 pins, and I need a bunch more wiring and more complex code…

Alternatively, maybe it’s feasible to read these outputs via Mavlink, and use them in real time to actually fly the plane?
