Question is, if i enable rudder, can i enable it only for manual input? So that when i used ardupilot modes such as stabilize etc. it would not try to use this servo as part of plane control?
I know I could create code to do this, but since rudder already controls a servo, i figure it would be easier to use this to control a ptz(pan only) cam.
Would this be a mod to the mega code, or would it be better to bypass mega altogether and control the servo directly from the receiver?
If I also needed tilt, I'm sure that programming would be the best way, but since I only need pan maybe rudder channel will do this. Eventually I would like to use a toggle switch to tilt 2 positions.
Thanks,
Joel

If you want manual control of the ptz why would you even route it through the AP? Just connect those receiver channels to the ptz servos. You don't have to connect all the receiver channels to the AP.
Would this code need to use variables already defined? Do I need to edit the mega code? If so, is there a certain loop I should put it in to not interfere with the most important parts of the program?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
