Hi,
I am using ArduPilot Mega v1.4 board for ARDU-PLANE. (This comes with ArduIMU + controller board already soldered). I have attached a servo to Ouput pin 2 (for reading pitch of flight). I have powered the controller via the USB and servo via a 5V battery supply.
My idea is that when I move the on board IMU board, I want to read the proportional pitch value (in PWM) output via Pin 2 and move my servos. This DOES NOT happen!
Is there something I need to change in Mission Planner/ writing code ? I have the default ArduPlane v2.50 code installed via Mission Planner. How can I check if this specific pin is outputting the PWM signal or not ?
I do not have RC transmiiter/ receiver equipment. I am just treating this as a simple experiment to make one servo work on one of the output pins of APM 1. All the connections are proper and the connection LED's blink!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Until you do the RC setup with a RC transmitter attached, output will not work (because the scalars are all set to 0)
