So I am starting to think the Pixhawk 2.1 is simply not reliable or ArduCopter is still not stable on them. I so badly want to like them but every build I do with one there is some problem or another.Here is the deal. I am building 2 identical…
"Are you running the APM firmware or Pixhawk? running APM and my aux outputs do nothing... they are enabled and mapped. I can control the gimbal from the X8R directly but not through the pins 1-6 (51-56) on the Px4 - at least not using APM Copter…"
"Brad,
Ignore the BRD_CAN_ENABLE parameter. This setting disappeared on me as well after an update of MP (currently running the latest beta for fun). The missing setting has no effect.
I believe the issue is the splitter. If you can temporarily…"

"Grazie!
Like I said - SBUS works great for me but, like others on this thread, I can not get it to function via PWM.

"Brad,
Am I understanding you are using a SBUS splitter? If so try SBUS without the splitter.
Did you follow the settings I described in Mission Planner? It is imperative you enable, SBUS passthrough on the channels controlling the gimbal and set…"

"Update...
In running the individual motor tests I noticed a grinding sound in motor B (M4 on the Matrice - had to physically remap it via the interface header to match the Pixhawk). I have spare motors and the spare makes the same noise. Could this…"

THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE STOCK ESCs with ARRIS 30A OPTO SIMONK!Also bought a programmable OSD and use the Android version of Qgroundcontrol on a cellular data enabled 10" tablet. Removed the OSD as it is redundant.Goodbye stock DJI…
"I do have a question for you if you don't mind.
Even though I am using SBUS, for future reference can you please define your gimbal settings in mission planner - especially the PWM variables and why type of gimbal? I am assuming you chose "servo".…"

"For anyone who is interested in connecting the Tarot T4-3D with the included Gimbal Main Controller Module to the Pixhawk PX4 on a quadcopter and failed you may want to read this...
