Servo didn't work in Pixhawk

Posted by Ferdie Misnadi on April 17, 2014 at 7:30am

Hello guys

I install my pixhawk in Skywalker X5, when I tested the servos and throttle, throttle work well but the servo didn't work.I use Red Brick 50 Amp for my ESC, Futaba T8J, and 5300 mAh 11,1 V for my battery.

Any advice  ?

     Ferdie Misnadi What servos are you using? Some of my planes using Hitec HS65HB carbon gears and some using Turnigy MG90S metal gears. These two servos operating current are 4.8 - 6 volts and works very well with Pixhawk. I have no issues so far except for if the planes had crashed then the servos need to be checked.

    Did you brought power to the servo connectors ? For example by hooking a BEC on a free slot, or using the BEC from your ESC if it has one.

      Im not using the bec for my ESC,  I just upgrade the firmware from ardupilot 2.74 to ardupilot 3.01. But when I use 2.74 the servos are working but when I upgrade to 3.01 It didn't work but the throttle is working.
