Hello All,

Can the Picopilot-NAT control a conventional servo for throttle instead of using a ESC?

Thanks in advance.

It should not matter. The ESC is using the same output from a receiver as a servo receives. It is a varying pulse width which changes the Electronic Switching and therefore the speed. The servo responds to the same varying pulse width except that it rotates an output arm.
