PixHawk Aux Ports and programming

I want the ability to fully utilize all the Aux ports in the Pixhawk and need little help.

So far I have figured out how to use one Aux Port, for example:

1. RC Rx is connected to PixHawk via S-BUS.
2. I set TX CHAN 10, to anything you like and assigned a toggle switch to it.

To move a servo off Aux 2

1. Inside mission planner “go to Camera Gimbal” section “Shutter Control”, from drop down select “Servo 10”.
2. Connect servo to Aux 2 pin.

Everything works fine.

few things are very confusing.

A. Ardu Pilot documentations says you must provide +5V to one of the Aux ports. It appears I can still move the servo with any +5V. Is Ardu Pilot documentation wrong?

B. if I want to control other servos via PixHawk Aux ports, how to do set them inside the Mission planner? it appears the shutter control is the only feature. Any suggestions?

C. What does it mean Aux 5 & 6 are relay? Does it mean it will give +5V when enabled? To me relay means a mechanical switch which is nothing more than an OFF and ON switch.

Thanks for your help.
