I am trying to understand how to make PWM outputs work in HIL mode because I am using external hardware to simulate the PWM outputs and do further analysis. So, I need to mirror the pwm_out_sim on the actual PWM pins in order to continue my work. I have tried disabling the armed lockdown but it did …

Yes but I had to do an extra step of stopping px4io and restarting it with safety off. It kinda works now.

Thanks alot @parakhm95 for your answer. Your solution worked with little modification. This is what I did: I used the latest px4 firmware (v1.11.1 - also works on current master branch) I only changed one file (state_machine_helper.cpp): Commented the line armed->lockdown = true; inside if (h…

Hi @parakhm95 . how do you stop px4io and how to restart it with safety off? I have managed to start HITL simulation and send out the real outputs to my aircraft but it only works in manual mode or stabilized mode. It doesn’t work during mission. During mission the real outputs keep reacting to the…

Hi , @jesus !!! I also encountered the same problem and wanted to drive the real motor in HITL mode. I have a few questions to ask you. Which version of PX4 do you use? Can you tell me the specific operating steps and areas that need to be changed?

I think there was a command-line parameter to stop the PX4IO and restart it. It was a long time ago and so I don’t remember it anymore. Sorry :frowning:
