Hi...
I just upgrade pixhawk firmware from arduplane 3.2.3 to 3.3.0. In 3.2.3 servo gimbal (2-axis) works well, but in 3.3.0 gimbal didn't move at all when pixhawk rolled or pitch up/down.
Then I am back to 3.2.3, and gimbal works again. When flying te

Since we upgraded our Skywalker (originally 3DR Aero until we replaced the fuselage) to APM:Plane 3.3 the external LED light blinks in yellow (this previously indicated a hardware failure). However when connecting it to Mission Planner
I was wondering if you guys could help me diagnose the cause of this crash. I looked at the logs and don't see anything obvious other than the final crash's requested pitch and roll and actual pitch an roll.

This is probably a stupid question, but I am still confused regarding the Pixhawk servo rail. The ardupilot website claims that the Pixhawk does not supply power to the servo rail. But so far the only thing plugged into my Pixhawk's se
