Currently working on a payload drop servo controlled by a switch on my remote. I want to do a RC channel passthrough on AUX5. As I read through “payloads and cameras” from PX4 documentation it states “map up to three RC channels to control servos/actuators attached to the flight controller using the parameters RC\_MAP\_AUX1 to RC\_MAP\_AUX3.” Obviously, AUX5 is not default setup to be a passthrough pwm output. I have been able to get the cube to output pwm signals to my servo but no luck with RC passthrough. It doesn’t seem to be as simple as modifying my airframe’s mixer and assigning my RC channel to “RC\_MAP\_AUX5”. Does anyone have any suggestions, similar issues, justification for why passthrough won’t work on AUX5?
