I got a 12v 3300amh battery onto the sabertooth[brush esc] and you can see in mi picture a small pack of 4AA battery connected to a servo BEC connected directly to the receiver.[ and the receiver is connected to the apm]
the servo connection, well at first I tried in the apm; but didn't work so I tried directly to the receiver
Any suggestions on the connection or its ok?
I'm using a robot frame for testing in the picture.
Thank you for all the help and support.
Exito en sus projecto.

@Jose,
How are you powering the APM?
Are you using the PM or a separate BEC?
The APM is not designed to power the camera servos driven by the APM Analog PWM outputs.
You must power the camera servos with a separate BEC and only use the PWM signals from the APM Analog outputs.
