We want to do this in order to control a peripheral actuator such as a winch or a payloadbay.

PX4 v1.13 and below

At the time of writing we use a modified version of the PX4 v1.13.3, which still uses the (now deprecated) mixing system to allocate control to the different actuators. Unfortunately this makes it quite cumbersome to control. I added a hack to the system, by using the Mavlink messagePWM

PX4 v1.14 and above

The new tight ROS2 integration will allow to control peripheral actuators as explained in this video.
