RC Overrides in ArduRover 4.3

I’m trying to use RC override commands in manual mode to manually point the boat in different directions using the yaw override command. When I issue the command however, nothing happens. It’s notable that the Guided, Loiter and RTL modes do work, however.

Here’s the command using pymavlink and ArduRover 4.3:

data[3] = 1300 #yaw neg
master.mav.rc_channels_override_send(master.target_system, master.target_component, *data)

And here is my parameter file:

rover.parm (20.8 KB)

Thanks,

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

The solution is to use channel 0 (roll channel) for steering and not the yaw channel 3:

data[0] = 1300 #yaw neg
master.mav.rc_channels_override_send(master.target_system, master.target_component, *data)

Note that throttle is still channel 2.
