I am somewhat new to this so bear with me. I have not seen if the Sbus out from the Pixhawk works now (confirmed?) for this or if we are limited to using (and mapping) the aux pin for tilt only. I have a Y cable to split the Sbus in to the Pixhawk…

"I was wondering about that too. I loaded the setup files for my Taranis and Pixhawk from Peter at Drone Shop. I am guessing he gives plenty of time for everything to align before takeoff. "

I have researched myself to death on this one and cannot find a solid answer. I am thinking it is due to the GPS not having acquired its position fully, but here is what I am facing. I power up the Pixhawk and let it go through initialization. I arm…
