    Can you make a video explaining how to setup two servos for a tilt-rotor H-configuration quadcopter? Where the forward/back input commands are channeled to the servos as well as the motors?

    This is what I was just looking for. Thanks. I use the exact same receiver as you. I tried the R9 SX, But I think the Pixhawk 4 may have problems with Access protocol.

    Great video. Instead of using RC control, how to control the servo motor using the autopilot? for example, using the waypoint position to control the servo motor?

    What about if I have main 3 an ESC and main 2 and 4 with servos. How I have to connect I/O and FMU?

    Hello, everybody.
    I want to connect an MG996R servo to the Pixhawk 2.4.8 autopilot without interference from the remote control, to achieve continuous angular movement of 10 degrees right and 10 degrees left.
    I have powered the servo from the BEC of the ESC, and the PWM signal is sent from AUX1. I am able to move the servo through Mission Planner using the Servo Output tab by adjusting the SERVOn_MAX, SERVOn_MIN, or SERVOn_TRIM values, but I cannot achieve continuous movement.
    Is using a Lua script the only solution?

    Hi Alex, How do I control a servo if my airframe type doesn't have aux channels mapped? I am using Coaxial Octacopter. What is the logic with the safety switch? I have selected the other airframe also (Octacopter X) which has aux outputs but then also it didn't work. I am using Flysky FSi6 with 10 channel receiver. Please guide.

    Hi Alex, I need your advise Please!! on: I am trying to use AUX1 to turn on a servo with PWM input, and it worked fine by assigning a specific channel on RC, but now when I am trying to send similar (PWM) commands to that port from ODroid connected by Mavlink(UART) protocol, I am clueless how to access that channel or where to edit?
    I did check
    MAV_CMD_DO_SET_SERVO and
    /mavros/target_acutator_control
    But how to refer to specific AUX1; I read (RC1-8 are for MAIN; RC9-14 are for AUX)
    Can I directly send PWM values to that specific RC9 2000us(high) 1500us(nuteral) 1000us(Low) as I set in Qgroundcontrol? can I override/Rc/out?
    I am using Hex rotor Xconfig, PX4, Qgroundcontrol, Odroid..

    Thank you very much. It was a great video. Can I control more than the 3 AUX channels that are on the PM07 without using the RX channels?
    Since I would like to control more servos, I need more channels. But I don't want to use more RX devices.
    Is this possible? Is there any kind of hub extension to the Pixhawk for it?

    Thank you very much Alex for your vidéos !
    I am currently working on a design for an airship with two side propellers and one propeller at the rear of the vehicle.
    I am using a Pixhawk 2.4.8 as my control board and programming it on QGroundControl
    My problem is that when I connect my ESCs or servos to the main outputs of the Pixhawk, I can’t associate them with a channel of the radio control.
    I have to connect the motors to the auxiliary outputs and go to “settings” on QGroundControl and type RC_MAP_AUX* to associate an auxiliary output to a channel of the radio control.
    Have you got an idea to resolve this problem please ?

      Yes! Checkout the blue text box on this page: docs.px4.io/v1.9.0/en/flight_controller/pixhawk4.html#voltage-ratings. These rails can be powered with 0-36V, just remember that this rail doesn't power the actual flight controller so you still need some kind of power management board.

    • @AlexFache

      I have not tried this in QGroundControl but what you could always do is use a y-splitter cable to feed the same main signal to multiple servo motors.
