I have the Ardupilot 2 (ATMega 328) board with the v2 shield. Due to space constraints (I have a camera and battery in the cockpit) I want to mount the Ardupilot where I will not be able to easily see the LEDs. I want to fit additional LEDs that I can either mount on the outside of the fuselage or 'plug in' and remove prior to flight.I know that I can get feeds for the GPS Lock and Stat LEDs from the D12 and D13 pins on the shield. I cannot find any information on the layout of the main board to enable me to find similar headers to use for the Mux and Mode LEDs. Is their a PDF (I do not have Eagle) of the current main board layout anywhere or can anybody please tell me the location to get the Mux and Mode LED signals from?ThanksRichard

Eagle is free and is the best way to follow the traces. A pdf of the board won't really tell you anything, since it's a two-sided board. Download it here.

+1, need to add brighter LED's as the ones on APM2 are not very bright especially when it's in the smoked plastic case.
Hi
I have an APM 2.5 that I would like to mount internally in my plane. So there's a need for external LEDs here too.
Any ideas on how to set this up?
Thanks
