Control thruster using overrideRCIn #1970

Issue

Hey everyone I’m trying to use mavros for control t200 thruster(pwm), I’m using ros2 and I’m using the topic of overrideRCIn but when I run this nothing happened, the thruster doesn’t spin

Does anyone know how to solve this? Or how to send pwm msg to motor with mavros?

MAVROS version and platform

ROS: foxy Ubuntu: 20.04

If you are trying to control an individual thruster using the OverrideRCIn input, you will need to verify that the SERVON_FUNCTION parameter for that respective thruster is set to PWM passthrough. Note that, by doing that, the ArduSub arm/disarm functionality will no longer stop you from sending commands to the thrusters. Here is an example that demonstrates how to do this.
