Dear friends
A couple of days ago I've used the Prefetch map tool of Mission Planner to cache an area that I was interested in flying, and since then I've found out that Mission Planner fails to load satellite tiles of not prefetched areas, being all

Anyone succeeded to install external LEDs on Pixhawk?
On APM we could configure the param Led_mode to a binary value representing which actions turn LEDs on A5 and A6.
Is there an equivalent feature on Pixhawk? Found nothing in the wiki about it.
Thx
