Configured as fixed wing, "elevator aileron rudder".
The sticks are at neutral (ManualControlCommand as good as 0), but the servos (ActuatorCommand) is to it's limit.

So when I move the roll stick to the left, the servo does not move, pushing the stick to the right and the servo deflects to the other limit (2000) :blink:

In your output configuration, I'm guessing the neutral slider is not in the middle?

Yes, this was the issue!

So the you press Send, the state of the sliders indicate the servo centers. I will improve the doc on this.

http://wiki.openpilo...t Configuration This is probably the best place for it although it's mentioned.

The problem with these docs is literally every word is important :-(
