I'm currently building an octorotor based on the quadrotor code.
I was wondering if anyone can provide a link to the outputs of the Arduino Mega board with the corresponding pin number?
By an example, if I want to read the values of the gyros

Out0 = Out2
Out1 = Out3
Out2 = Out4
Out3 = Out5
Out 4 and 5 are not driven.
