HiWhen i arm or disarm the motors it would be a good idea to have a beeper instead of the leds ( or aditionaly)Advantages:- if electrinic is housed one can. Not see the leds- if the sun is very shiny i can not see the leds.What do you think? Are there any pin free to conect a beeper?With best regardsFranz

There's plenty of pins free. AN8 til AN15 are analog pins that are free to use.
But wouldn't it be annoying that your copter is beeping all the time when armed ? Might be better to put some ledstrips on the arms or use motormounted leds, no ?
Code for the last is already available if you compile with arduino.

There is code now for running a Piezo beeper. Look in the blog posts to find the instructions for adding a buzzer.
here it is:
