Relay Output on Orange Cube - need help

@Federico in the parameters you have SERVO5_FUNCTION set to 56 it needs to be -1.

Hello:
Thanks a lot. I´ve changed:
SERVO5_FUNCTION to -1
CAM1_RELAY_ON to 1
CAM1_TYPE to 2
RALLY_DEFAULT to 0
and it finally worked.
I say again, thanks a lot to everybody and I upload my parametrics in case it will help anyone else.

CubeOrange Arducopter 4.5.6
I measure the + (Red) and - (black) pins, 0.0V, and measure S (Signal) and - (black), 0.0V. Main out + pins (1-6) are currently open, and not connected to ESC.

Do I need to supply external power (5V/ 3.3V) to Main Out + pins? Something like that?
Is the servo rail in the article referencing Main Out + pins? What about AUX power referring to?

I am concerned about burning the CubeOrange (not a cheap board).
I am still confused about the entire Power Architecture.

Yes, you’ll have to supply external power to the pwr/gnd pins. Just make sure you solder the wires properly else it might generates a lot of heat and melt the plastic part.

Thank you, I managed to get it working with RC11. I get 3.3V when BRD_PWM_VOLT_SEL,0, and 5.0V when BRD_PWM_VOLT_SEL,1 on the signal pin Main out 7 with ground measurement.
