Gimbal not work :( (solved)

hello everyone!

I just received my ArduPilot 2.6, everything is fine but ...

I be trying to operate the camera gimbal servos. I followed the guide copter.ardupilot.com page does not work.

I connect the tilt servo to rc10 and I set it up in MP. in RC10 just connect the cable from the servo signal, and connect the + and - output 7.

look at the pictures, I need to connect the servo to an external source?

servo model is the micro servo 9g

  • THANK YOU! this has been driving me nuts all night. The APM instructions are vague at best and all this crap about output terminals was confusing.

  • Found it. I updated Mission planner, then had to go fix the channel to A10 (RC10) and it works now. Apparently the old mission planner was writing out the wrong channel value.

    @luis,
    How are you powering the APM? Are you using the PM with J1 removed?
    If you are, then you have the power the APM servo output power bus with a BEC or the BEC that is in an ESC. When J1 is removed the power for the APM, whether it is coming from the PM or a separate BEC on the APM R/C receiver input, does not power the APM servo output power bus.
    Here is the Wiki link for powering the APM without J1: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-apm25-and-26-overview/#Powe...
