I was wondering if it is possible to have the onboard lights behavior copied to some led’s connected somewhere in available outputs , for tows ho have a closed body’s for they cuadcopters .
And where are the navigational lights connected in the current release ( witch port or output pins ) ?, I know this is a momentarily fix and well be moved in the future .
Thanks
--------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT -------------------------------------------------------------------
I have found the code for the onbord leds in the Arducopter_alpha_RC1 file
pinMode(LED_Yellow,OUTPUT); //Yellow LED A (PC1)
pinMode(LED_Red,OUTPUT); //Red LED B (PC2)
pinMode(LED_Green,OUTPUT); //Green LED C (PC0)
I want to use the behavior from Leds A and C
Witch are for GPS fix and OK BOOT .
Dose somebody know how can i tweak this code to use with 2 led’s connected somewhere in the available ports on the APM ?
My knowledge in to C++ is 0 so i want to start with this and hopefully learn something :) , my programming langis PHP so I don’t think it`s going to be that hard .

And should the white flashing be in the front or rear? Jani says in the video that RED is right but then says flashing is rear which doesn't jive with the video. VIdeo shows red on right and flashing on front or red on left and flashing in rear.
Right now it's

Do I need to change anything or uncomment anything. I'm plugging the lights into OUT4-7
I was confused because the center pin is + also right? 5+ coming from my BEC is going there. I tried the LED there and of course was nice a bright but is also working on the top pin, though not as bring. I will need to get some stronger LED's because the ones I have I'm sure will not be that visible at night.
Do I have to change something in the software to map the action of the green light (armed, stable, acro) to one of these output pins so the white LED blinks like in Jani's video?
>>jani just put one single LED into every motor mount, directly connected to (RC-) OUT4-OUT7 (+ is the topmost pin and - is the lowermost pin)
So I just connect + of the LED to middle pin and - to lower pin but what about the white light that flashes indicating stable or acro mode?
I marked them in the drawing attached. Connect to which pins of the 3 row connector?
