No Throttle

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the throttle to respond when i use my throttle on the tx , in manual 
mode it doesnt respond, 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
apm 1.0 windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
i have tested the inputs using the CLI and i can see that the throttle channel 
is responding properly, i also swithced my servo wires incase they wer faulty, 
when i lugged my throttle directly into the rx that came with my Dynam Hawk SKy 
it responds, otherwise i just hear a beeping and no throttle all the other 
channels aier , elev, rudd work fine. I tried pluggin the throttle in the elev 
still nothing just the same beeping sound comming from the esc or motor,

other than that i have been trying this in manual mode. 
is there particular code that i need to initialize the throttle?

i reversed the the throttle on my tx still nothing.
 i havent made any changes to the code other than uncommenting some optional stuff in the .h file

i checked if there was anyunintended bridgeing in the solder of the throttle 
output on the ardupilot mega but there was none

i have no clue why it happens

It sounds like there is no servo signal on channel 3 out of the APM.  To verify 
this, please connect a servo to the throttle output of the APM and see if it 
moves in response to the transmitter stick movements; I suspect that it won't.

If the servo doesn't move, then please post your personal APM_Config.h and 
confirm that you haven't made *any* changes to any of the other files from the 
repository.

yup so ive tested it again i switched the rudder and modems INS and OUTs and 
the motor runs fine , so it seems there is a physical issue with out2. since 
in2 is fine when i run the cli the ins are received through the rx , how can i 
use an auxiliary channel to run the rudder such as in 4 and out 4, since i only 
have 5 channels on my tx, i guess ill plug the rudders rx wire into in 4 and 
then out 4 will connect to the servo that controls the rudder , so i need to 
adjust the code to open up in/out 4 

and what should i go about doing to repair out 2 , i know that the power comes 
through out 2 since the motor beeps and the esc heats up , i gues the servo 
signal is the issue 

why would that be?

should i use my multimeter to test and see if the out 2 is sending enough power 
what sort of voltage should i be looking for. or is the v of out 2 relative to 
the demand from the servo out,? 

i dunno just a lot of questions?
thanks for the help much appreciated
