HIL tab is not shown in Actuator Outputs section of QGC for Cube Orange Hardware when HIL airframe is selected. PX4 v1.14.0 is used.

Anyone have any idea what might be going wrong here?

Should this show up @bkueng ?

The cube orange board configuration is missing the module CONFIG_MODULES_SIMULATION_SIMULATOR_SIH=y (or more specifically the CONFIG_MODULES_SIMULATION_PWM_OUT_SIM=y driver) in the file boards/cubepilot/cubeorange/default.px4board.

Thanks. Will this be fixed in 1.14.3??

Oh, makes sense. Thanks @bkueng.

No, due to flash size constraints we can’t include everything, so this is not a “bugfix” that we could just do for v1.14.3.

I suggest that you check out the release/1.14 branch and build the binary yourself with the modules added that you require.

good catch. Im looking on the default,px4board file and those modules are missing. Do I add them by just adding a new line to the file?

Yes that is correct.

Thank you for the quick response. I am a beginner when it comes to PX4. does this require re-flashing the firmware to the board? adding 2 line to get the IRL motors spinning in in simulation seems too simple

solved. Custom firmware does need to me made and uploaded
