I currently have an apm2 with jumper installed for power. Plugging in camera servos per wiki causes esc to not start up and there is no servo movement or power. What is the correct setup to get these servos to work?

Please check if you are connecting the servos to the A10 and A11 pins. In the wiki photos the A10 and A11 are the last installed pins before the memory card but between them and the card they are two rows of three empty holes. My APM2 board came with those pins populated so if you don't care this you can plug the servos in the wrong leads.

Hope this helps.

Right you are! Thanks - the xtra installed pins threw me off!

HI, I connected the servos to the correct pins on APM 2, but the camera pitch and roll servos dont do anything. there are also no parameters in the missionplanner for camera, using Arduplane 2.33, 

I just want to use a normal pitch roll stabilize mode,

Cheers

My setup is for an octocopter so I'm not experienced in arduplane but I think the functión to stabilize the camera is only activated by default in the Arducopter code.

You shoud read this LINK on how to add camera tracking/stabilization to the Arduplane code.

Regards.

Hi Jbabio, thank you very much for the swift response, I did find that link, but though that as the board has camera roll and camera pitch ports, It will work by default. 

Not quite sure how to unzip and load it on, but i'll work out .. cheers :)
