2nd request for Pixhawk and do set servo... is it just for cameras and/or quads/planes?

Posted by RoboBill on March 22, 2014 at 7:32am

I think I've followed all the correct procedures. I can successfully set my servo low, high and toggle manually from mission planner flight data screen, but I cannot do so from within a mission between 2 waypoints. 

So I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question: can I use do set servo on a Pixhawk guided rover to control a servo or is it only available as part of a camera system? If it is, whats the trick?

Thanks

    @RoboBill

    You are the first member to request this kind of function. I have no idea if do_set_servo is functional in the ArduRover2 firmware. Only Tridge can answer that question. I suggest that you make a request to become his friend and ask him directly.

      Thank you for your reply. Perhaps I didn't explain my situation properly. I simply want to control a servo on a Pixhawk controlled rover as per this article http://rover.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-servo/.

      I will contact Tridge as you suggested.

      Thanks again.

      Bill
