Using the ArduPilot without a Shield
Working up a system towards use in a ground effect model to be flown over water.
To get thinks started I would like to use the ArduPilot without a shield board, ie no airspeed measurement or X:Y sensors. This way I
can test the functionality of the craft operating in navigation mode only.
Unable to find a copy of the circuit diagram for the ArduPilot board so working
in the dark from the Schematic as to how the board connects to the shield. As a result have two questions;
1) Can anyone point me to a picture of the locations on the ArduPilot board as
to the connections points for the Bind Plug.
2) Am I correct in assuming the reset
button on the shield is just wired in parallel to the surface mount switch on
the main board?
Cheers
Andy

I think WALK_AROUND mode might be what your looking for, it's in the manual.

Thanks Marc
Could use that method but have no requirement for a shield at the moment. Hence wish to know how to connect a bind plug onto the main board.

The answer is that the bind plug conencts between D6 and GND
