Hello, i have ordered the ArduPilot quite a while ago and started to built it up.
Now the manual has changed and it seem the steps i have made so far are maybe wrong?
I already have the gps connected and i can upload code sucessfully to the board (like the blinking led test program) and everything seems to work so far.
My main question is how to connect the FMA sensors now, i have included some pictures of my connectors which i made according to the old manual. Maybe someone could explain where i have to connect the FMA sensors.
Thanks

The through hole pwb vias (GND, 5 V, A3, A2, A1) right behind the pressure sensor on the Shield board are where the FMA sensors analog signals should go. Normally there is a male connector mounted on the Shield under the pressure sensor that connects with the pwb vias that are right behind the pressure sensor. There is a matching five pin female connector that mates the sensor cable to the Shield board connector.
Since you have made your own connector, I suggest that you solder in a mating connector on the Shield board to the pwb vias behind the pressure sensor making sure that the signals on our sensor connector match the pin outs (GND, 5 V, A3, A2, A1) on the Shield board. Consult the Ardupilot Manual as to which sensor signals go to which Arduino Analog inputs.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
