Mission Planner - Script.SendRC() not working

Posted by Jared Pitts on December 7, 2013 at 12:36pm

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the APM 2.5 board with the latest Mission Planner software to implement a payload dropping system into my design team's gas powered plane. 

I only need the APM board/Mission planner to gather flight data, and move a servo when the target is in range.

The problem is, when i try to run Script.SendRC(chan,pwm,sendnow), it doesn't work. It worked in previous versions, but i'm not exactly sure in which version the problem started. 

My APM2.5 board is powered from the output side, and the servo is located on output pin 5. I cannot seem to get the function to move the servo.

I've tried Script.SendRC(5,1500,True) but it doesn't work. I've also tried implementing a for loop to search multiple channels. It's confusing to me because it has always worked in the past, even with my odd setup.

Also, the servo tab located in flight data can control it properly, but I need to be able to move the servo via a python script.

Any ideas? Should I revert to an older version, or is the problem that my servo is located on the output pin side?

    Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem! Even the sample script doesn't work. Trying to roll back to an earlier version, seems that scripting is broken in this latest one.
