No output for camera stab on pins 5 and 6

Posted by Jim Phoenix on June 24, 2011 at 5:05pm

I connected servos to the APM out pins 5 and 6 and no servo movement. Must I un-comment the code to enable camera stab? Running the latest APM board with 2.0.025.

I don’t know why, but only version 2.12 works in my case

I have 2.24 , but can’t compiling after loading small program for cam. stab.

I have changed contents in library folder for version 2.24, no luck, created new folder library and copy contents of library of 2.24 to new folder....the same ,can’t compiling

As I said before, my programing skill is very bad, may be I do some wrong, who knows...

I don't understand why manufacturer of autopilot don't want to create program for camera stabilisation

I have 1 autopilot and will buy 2 more, but I need camera stabilisation. I am regular user. and haven't education of programming. All what I have 40 Years of building and flying RC models Still waiting, for help from manufacture of Aurdopilot !!!

Yes, Don't mix the outputs and the Inputs, they are two different things.

The two free channels for Camera control are normal PWM outputs. The others are Fast PWM outputs and will make your servo twitch a horrible death. You can control the min and max of them and reverse them in the Planner parameters.

you must reload the firmware through Arduino IDE. Just upload, no need to go back through the setup if you have already setup the EEPROM through APM Planner. Should work after that.
