I have the APM 1.0 on my tricopter. The latest tricopter firmware was downloaded today.
It seems the motors are working correctly. IE: They respond to input from RC Transmitter and seem act correctly as the tricopter is tilted.
I cannot however get any movement from the tail servo. When looking at the APM Planner -> Radio setup it is reading my rudder input from the RC TX...the servo just isn't doing anything.
I read a couple other people with this issue...however they were able to get movement when in manual mode. The firmware I downloaded today...does not have manual mode.
I checked all the connections against the diagrams think it is correct. The servo is connected to 7 on the APM
Does anyone know how to fix this or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Ross

Ross, (or anyone else with a Tri), can you have a look at this issue and see if you can replicate it on 2.3? I would do it myself but I'm not near my equipment.
I had pulled fresh 2.2b6 code from GIT last night right before the version increment, and still had the problem. I'm unsure if I got it before or after the changes committed by Pat, but looking through the code changes I don't see anything relevant to channel 7 out. (maybe I just missed it?)
Can this be fixed please... Both my tri are down and need get back to work..

It flies. Its very windy today and she didn't like it that well. It seems the gyros are a bit too sensitive for high winds. She did real good close to the ground not as exposed. Burned up a whole battery with no issues. The tweaking begins.
Any chance you could point me to a good tricopter config file?
