"APM 2 doesn't require a sonar/ultrasonic sensor at all. It has a state-of-the-art pressure sensor that can handle altitude hold fine by itself. The only reason to use a sonar sensor is if you want high-precision autolanding. In that case, we…"

"Dean, well trust me.. it works. All 4 are in use. Also if you want to move LED's away from OUT4-7 to their "correct" location you need to modify ArduUser.h file   /* AM PIN Definitions *//* Will be moved in future to AN extension…"

Dean Lamborn replied to majorpr13's discussion What to change in code to use LEDs?
"Well, sort of. The only thing I see in the code turns on OUT7 when the motors are armed. //#define IsAM        // Do we have motormount LED's. AM = Atraction Mode if (motorArmed == 1) {   #ifdef…"

"Just looked latest code and it seems that there are OUT4-7 already defined as default output ports. So just activate #define IsAM from ArducopterNG.pde and you will have working LED output."
