I was wondering if there is a way to use the AeroQuad Configurator with the ArduCopter?? The AQC has a bunch more features and seems more newbie friendly. Please let me know if this is possible to do.
Thanks!

I see from the UAVDevBoard detail that it is capable of controlling three servos and although further servos can be used they have to go via the radio.
Looking at the datasheet of the dsPIC30f4011 is there not the facility to have more than three auto
