Dual Servo Ailerons and Pixhawk?

Posted by Steven McAdam on August 6, 2014 at 5:32am

I am currently installing the Pixhawk in a fixed wing dual servo aileron plane (one servo for each aileron). Is it okay to just mix the two servos through the Pixhawk and leave my controller alone. I am thinking this is okay, but want to make sure there are no issues when in manual mode.

Do you mean use a Y-cable into the servo output channel? Yes, that is the standard and recommended method.

  No, I mean each aileron servo plugged into a separate out channel (for instance channel 1 and 5).

    You can set it up either way.
    Read the manual: http://plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/multipleailerons-3/
