Canard design and AurduPilot APM 2.0 autopilot

We've designed an air vehicle with canards which we want to control independently and use like ailerons for roll as well as use the canard as an elevator ... can the APM 2.0 be programmed to provide this type of control?

Help!

SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM , SET CANARDS UP LIKE ELEVON IN APM AND RADIO  CHANNELS 1&2, BUT REMEMBER ON CANARDS THAT ELEVATOR IS THE OPPOSITE TO TAIL LAST AIRCRAFT !! UP ELEVATOR IS PITCH DOWN AND DOWN ELEVATOR IS PITCH UP- MANY MODELS HAVE CRASHED ON TAKE OFF BECAUSE ITS BEEN SETUP THE WRONG WAY ROUND !!
