I am trying to control a servo attached to release mechanism. I want to use a swith on the transmitter to actuate the servo. I read the post below.

http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-servo.html

And I am wondering if this excerpt from the above page is still applicable.

Controlling the servo as a servo
The traditional way to control a servo only works as part of a mission (i.e. AUTO mode). Follow these instructions:

Seems like I should be able to send PWM to the servo through any of the AUX ports.

I am using AUX 1,2 and 3 to control camera trigger, camera zoom (through a Camremote) and gimbal tilt. But when I try to use RC12, it's not working.

Heres my set up

Futable T14SG radio with a 8 channel reciever.

I have RC7 set as pass through and RC12 is set to 57(RC7in)

I have external power to the Pixhawk servo rail coming in AUX6. Power is defintily getting to the servo as I can feel the servo vibrate.

On the the log files I can see RC7 in and out respond to switch movement, but RC12 remains flat at 1500 PWM.

Seems like it should work, but it's not.

Any ideas?
