Hi All,
I'm building an RCexplorer style Tri with a AMP2.5, Turnigy9x (in airplane mode) and all the other HK.com stuff I need. I'm running Arducopter V2.9.1b and everything seems to work great (Pitch,Roll, throttle), except the yaw servo. In failsafe there is no output to channel 7 no matter the Yaw input from the Tx or movement of the AMP.
I'm hoping there's some setup step I missed somewhere but I've been through most of the relevant wiki pages an nothing seems to pop out at me.
Hope some one can help me out!
Thanks
Geoff
TLDR: AMP2.5, V2.9.1b tri, Turnigy 9x, no output to channel 7 / yaw servo

Did you managed to fix the problem?
I'm also experiencing a similar problem.
make sure you have your receiver connected correctly to the apm. Channels 1-4 are for roll pitch yaw and throttle. I use 5 to control the mode. 6 and 7 control camera point on my gimball
Hi,
I don't know how much you have checked. Did you remember to power the servo? I have a APM 2.0 in a tricopter config, I see the APM2.5 has the input/output side power jumper removed by default according to the manual Without this power jumper a power source will be needed to run the servo on the output side. Note the user group recommends powering servos from a different power source from the APM - some servos can use a lot of power.
Once the servo is working check carefully for servo direction else you will have a very interesting first flight.
Not helping... but have to laugh @ TLDR!
