I am relatively new here and trying to add an extra servo to my Arduplane. All of the 8CH are full as I have flaps and added camera tilt/pan, so I decided to use one of the expansion ports (A6) instead.

I added to ArduPilotMega.pde the following:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo; // create servo object

In void setup() I added:

pinMode(A6, OUTPUT); //A6 to a digital output

myservo.attach(A6); // attaches the servo on A6 to the servo object

myservo.write(180); // start servo at 180Deg

The code loads and the servo goes to 180deg, however STABILIZE (or any other mode) stops working. Am I doing something really wrong here?

Thanks in advance
