"Hi Jeb,
Try reversing the throttle in the mission planner like you did, and then reverse it in your rc-tx, this might do the trick... I do recommend you try afterwards in "hard manual mode" (the passthrough mode of the ppm encoder…"

As advertised. I was having trouble getting my APM to read the RC signal. I thought it might get fixed by re-uploading fresh code and running the setup, so that's what I did. But once I updated the…Continue

So here's the issue...(with the APM2 running the arduplane software)The throttle is reversing in a strange way. When in manual mode, everything works as expected, but when the APM2 is switched into stabilize, auto, etc... the throttle is reversed.I tried switching the throttle reverse parameter, which did the trick for the APM controlled modes, but it also reverses the throttle under manual mode. I've re-calibrated, and tried everything we can think of on both the APM2 and our transmitter…See More
Joseph Millette replied to Jeb Bailey's discussion Joystick Camera Control"I got mine working today but the continuous servos are impossible to trim to stop them from moving all the time. I had to swap them out with a 180 and a 90 deg. servo. I ill get more info out to you tomorrow on my parameters."
OG replied to Jeb Bailey's discussion Joystick Camera Control"i have a similar setup on power up my gamble moves on its own & settles in flight so yes this is normal . the servos should be plugged into the APM output not in to the receiver ?"
Joseph Millette replied to Jeb Bailey's discussion Joystick Camera Control"Did you have any luck getting this working. I am have the same issue with this.
I have not gotten any new info as of now.
Thanks

"Contact the retailer you bought them from for a RMA. "
Jeb Bailey replied to James Magos's discussion No power from RC Pins"Yeah, If you compare the 1280 board to the 2560, there's a pretty big difference in the size of the ground trace on the servo rails. I'll see if I can't get a picture."
Jeb Bailey replied to Jeb Bailey's discussion No servo output?"It's the APM1 (2560). I've been all through the troubleshooting guide, no luck. I've got two boards, one is described above. The other is stuck with a solid PPM light.
so:
1st board: All working except no servo…"

Having a bit of an issue, it seems that no output signal is going to my servos. Everything else appears to be working correctly (APM is reading TX as evidenced by config screen, servos are getting power as they twitch when power is applied) but the servos don't move in any mode including hardware manual.I did perform a repair as shown in THIS post, and have gone over…See More
