Is there OK to use GPIO pins "outside" OpenPlotter - any conflicts? - LarsD - 2018-01-09

Hi,
I'm a newbe to OpenPlotter and I'm just assembling a complete set-up based on an RPI 3. Still waiting for som components from China.
My question is really if I would create a conflict if I use GPI-pins from scripts (or python programs) that are using some of the available GPIO pins or if this is indeed possible.

I have seen the actions tab but in some instances it might be easier to create a script that runs regardless of OP. Is there a way of telling OP that some pins isn't available?

If you do not define any entry in GPIO tab, you will be able to use any pin in your scripts
