APM:Plane - Connecting your components
The documentation uses a Crius V2 as example flight controller, but the Pin number is the same for all flight controllers.
Connecting the RC Input
By default MegaPirateNG uses PPM RC Input.
Connect your PPM RC Receiver to Pin A8 on your flight controller.
If you want to use a non PPM RC Receiver you need to change your RC Input Type Configuration and connect the RC Receiver like this.
| Pin | Four channel plane | Elevon setup |
|---|---|---|
| A8 | Yaw / Rudder | - |
| A9 | Pitch / Elevator | Aileron |
| A10 | Throttle | Throttle |
| A11 | Aileron | Elevator |
| A15 | Mode Switch | Mode Switch |
Motor and Servos
Connections for a 4 channel plane setup
| Pin | Channel |
|---|---|
| D2 | Motor |
| D3 | Ailerons |
| D5 | Rudder |
| D6 | Elevator |
Connections for a elevon plane setup
| Pin | Channel |
|---|---|
| D2 | Motor |
| D5 | Right Elevon |
| D6 | Left Elevon |
Please use the new ELEVON_OUTPUT option to enable elevon support, not the old ELEVON_MIXING which causes problems and does not work.
For more information please read the official ardupilot documentation on that topic.
