Hi
I'm in a process of building a 4WD rover using skid steering and will be using the APM2.6 as my autopilot.
I do not plan to use an R/C remote control transmitter/receiver for control but I would like to know what type of PWM signals ( there values in ms) are required to control mode selection ( Auto, Manual, Learning), waypoint add/delete and throttle/direction control. These signals will be fed to the APM using and arduino that will be getting commands from an android tablet.
Any help regarding these signals would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
So if I send a signal of 1200 it will go to Auto, 1500 it will go to LEARNING and 2000 it will go to Manual ?
What about the signals required for waypoint add and waypoint delete and throttle/ direction control ?
I do not have any servos connected to my rover (I will be using skid steering) so overdriving them won't be a problem.
Output "A" will be used for mode selection and it will provide 3 signal values. Depending on the signal value, the corresponding mode will be selected.
According to your previous post, these values are 1200 for "Auto", 1500 for Learning and 2000 for manual. Correct
Output "B" will be used for waypoint manipulation (what value is required here ?)
Output "C" will be used for throttle control (what value is required here ?)
Output "D" will be used for direction control. (what value is required here ?)
according to the ArduRover instructions, The R/C inputs are like this. So instead of connecting the R/C receiver outputs 1,2,5,6 I will connect my hardware (MH) outputs D,C,A,B
