Hi @John-Mccarty ,
I haven't done this myself, but I think it should be possible with some hacking with PX4 mixers:
Mixing and Actuators | PX4 User Guide (v1.12)
PX4 is the Professional Autopilot. Developed by world-class developers from industry and academia, and supported by an active world wide community, it powers all kinds of vehicles from racing and cargo drones through to ground vehicles and submersibles.
(docs.px4.io)
I've stuck to the default quad for everything I've ever done (same as default on your Fligh Deck), but you might be able to override using the SD card?

Thanks for your fast response I have not much experience in px4 code.I need more details. How do i change it and how do i integrate my changed codes into voxl ? I need help. Thanks again.

@modaltb I tried what you wrote in your post,it
s work on pixhawk when you change mixers file and override with sdcard but on voxl it doesnt work what is the differences between voxl px4 and pixhawk px4 ? -
Hi @John-Mccarty ,
They 'should' operate the same. One quick thing to check, there are two SD cards on VOXL-Flight, one accessible by the Yocto Linux side, the other by PX4 FW. You want to use the bottom right one in this picture for this use case.

thanks for your fast response I inserted the sd card in the right place as in the picture but it still use default mixers file. I placed the changed mixer file in to /etc/mixers/ directory inside sd card.

It has solved. The problem was the hardware connection .Now I could change pwm channel with hacking mixers file and overriding with sd card.Thanks for your helping.
