Can't get servos to work

Ground Control Software Mission Planner

Hello, I have got a Pixhawk 2.4.8 and want to get it to work with my servos.
Here is a pic of my Pixhawk:

I have installed a Plane firmware ver.4.0.7:

MP1
MP11035×568 84.2 KB

Then I have checked settings of servos, they are switched on I guess:

MP2
MP21036×568 58.1 KB

Now I want to check if the servos are working. I have activated all of them:

MP31035×568 438 KB

But I can’t see any PWM signal on Main Out or Aux Out pins. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Hi
Did you configured flight modes ?
Did you pushed safety switch ?
Did you powered fc with battery ?

For testing try to set ARMING_REQUIRE = 0
But be careful you motor will spin if you apply throttle

No, where is this option to find?

Yes, I have connected external power supply to Main Out

it seems that you need to read documation to get your pixhawk works

Yes, you are right, it was really blinking and waiting for a switch.

Thank you very much!
