I am trying to build an aux mixer to send basic throttle to AUX 1. I successfully run the configuration by making changes to pass.aux.mix. I then copied and renamed the configuration to reaper.aux.mix. When I run my configuration script calling on the reaper.aux.mix, it does not load /dev/pwm\_outputs1 or the aux mixer.

Here is the successful output:  
`nsh> sercon: Registering CDC/ACM serial driver sercon: Successfully registered the CDC/ACM serial driver WARN [param] selected parameter default file /fs/mtd_params rgbled on I2C bus 2 at 0x55 (bus: 100 KHz, max: 100 KHz) WARN [px4io] CRCs match INFO [dataman] Power on restart, data manager file '/fs/microsd/dataman' size is 103090 bytes MS5611_SPI on SPI bus 1 at 3 (20000 KHz) WARN [bst] no devices found INFO [ver] match: PX4FMU_V2 WARN [hmc5883] no device on bus 2 read_reg failWARN [lis3mdl] no device on bus 2 WARN [hmc5883] no device on bus 1 ERROR [mpu6000] no device on this bus MPU6000 on SPI bus 1 at 4 (1000 KHz) L3GD20 on SPI bus 1 at 1 (11000 KHz) LSM303D on SPI bus 1 at 2 (11000 KHz) ERROR [meas_airspeed] no MS4525 airspeed sensor connected ERROR [ets_airspeed] no ETS airspeed sensor connected ERROR [ets_airspeed] no ETS airspeed sensor connected nsh: sf10a: command not found INFO [px4io] default PWM output device INFO [mavlink] mode: Normal, data rate: 1200 B/s on /dev/ttyS1 @ 57600B INFO [mavlink] mode: OSD, data rate: 1000 B/s on /dev/ttyS2 @ 57600B INFO [ver] match: PX4FMU_V2 px4flow [175:100] WARN [px4flow] scanning I2C buses for device..

Here is the output of running the new file, reaper.aux.mix which is a copy of pass.aux.mix  
`nsh> WARN [mavlink] Disabling hardware flow control sercon: Registering CDC/ACM serial driver sercon: Successfully registered the CDC/ACM serial driver WARN [param] selected parameter default file /fs/mtd_params rgbled on I2C bus 2 at 0x55 (bus: 100 KHz, max: 100 KHz) WARN [px4io] CRCs match INFO [dataman] Power on restart, data manager file '/fs/microsd/dataman' size is 103090 bytes MS5611_SPI on SPI bus 1 at 3 (20000 KHz) WARN [bst] no devices found INFO [ver] match: PX4FMU_V2 WARN [hmc5883] no device on bus 2 read_reg failWARN [lis3mdl] no device on bus 2 WARN [hmc5883] no device on bus 1 ERROR [mpu6000] no device on this bus MPU6000 on SPI bus 1 at 4 (1000 KHz) L3GD20 on SPI bus 1 at 1 (11000 KHz) LSM303D on SPI bus 1 at 2 (11000 KHz) ERROR [meas_airspeed] no MS4525 airspeed sensor connected ERROR [ets_airspeed] no ETS airspeed sensor connected ERROR [ets_airspeed] no ETS airspeed sensor connected nsh: sf10a: command not found INFO [px4io] default PWM output device INFO [mavlink] mode: Normal, data rate: 1200 B/s on /dev/ttyS1 @ 57600B INFO [mavlink] mode: OSD, data rate: 1000 B/s on /dev/ttyS2 @ 57600B INFO [ver] match: PX4FMU_V2 px4flow [175:100] WARN [px4flow] scanning I2C buses for device..

I change  
set MIXER\_AUX pass  
to  
set MIXER\_AUX reaper  
and receive the later results…

EDIT: Found the mixer file was not being formatted correctly, by checking the /etc/mixers folder

hi how did you get the debug information in NSH?  
you used USB or FDTI or others?
