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...
