    Hello,

    I didn't understand how I can change trim and direction of the servos. bill mentioned about change prefix with ss1 ss2 etc. parameter. How can I do this? which file include ss1,ss2,ss3,ss4?

    Thanks,

    Is it possible to get a binary of this? Ideally for pix hawk.  I have built for APM but the servos seems to move incorrectly.

    Any help would be most welcome as I have an air frame I cannot get airborne.

    Thanks

    Hi Randy :-) Thx for your answer.  

    I am using :

    - an APM 2.5 / 2.6,

    - 2 contra-rotative propellers + motors + 2 servos (what you guys call coax, or what KK2 calls 2m 2s).

    I wish I could use the APM to add a GPS / compass and make it autonomous.

    Thx again

    @Drone-University, they're not super popular frames but we should make them at least available as a binary in firmware.diydrones.com.  I've added an issue to the issues list.  https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/1930

    Worst case one of us can build a binary for you. You're using a Pixhawk or APM2?

    Excellent stuff. I want to go ahead but I am not much of an arduino programmer guy.

    Do you think that singlecopter and coaxcopter firmwares will be available from MP anytime soon ?

    Thank you

    Dan,

        Great stuff.  I'm happy to pull it into master when you're ready.  A Pull request would be great but if that's not possible I can pluck it from your repository.

    Iv been working yes but my programming skills are just not up to it. Spend 90% of my time reference to books. Besides that I love tinkering with the hard ware to much.

    Fantastic... with some development this could be a very interesting path.

    Randy, I agree with you. The custom mixer is not useful for most players, while it is just for those developers.

    yes, the custom mixing thing is good.  We've talked about doing something similar for at least the various multicopters (quad, hexa, y6, octa, octaquad) but haven't gotten to it yet.  Not so sure about extending it to things like helicopters.  Sometimes if you try to generalise something too much you just end up with a lot of configuration that's actually as complicated as just writing the C++.
