Hi @islamwael,

@islamwael

i am using the manual control send , the point is , i want to do a pitch and roll movement , and when i read the documentation about it, it included enabled_extensions that referred to these movements but unfortunately i don’t quiet how to use it

@EliotBR

As a bit of context, motion commands in ArduSub are handled as/via RC input, because previously the Manual Control Protocol didn’t support enough axes. We recently added additional axes (and buttons) to the MANUAL_CONTROL MAVLink definition, but those updates aren’t yet included in ArduSub (so at this stage MANUAL_CONTROL can only control forward/lateral/vertical/yaw OR roll/pitch/vertical/yaw with any single command, and only 16 buttons can be assigned functionality and used).

@islamwael

is there an example code that illustrates how can i do roll and pitch movements using manual control api

We don’t have an example for roll+pitch control using MANUAL_CONTROL at this point. I would recommend using RC_CHANNEL_OVERRIDES instead, but if you really don’t want to then you can use the roll_pitch_toggle button functionality (discussed in the last link in my quote) to switch between (forward+lateral) and (roll+pitch) control.
