"Sorry for my ambiguous description.... the 328 cpu will not soldered on original pins.
My idea is to flash a 328 with ppm from sourcecode and solder the right pins with wrap wire.
(I have this 328 as spare lying around)
If everything works fine, it…"

"Anyone who use this miniapm in a 250 copter?
I have strange problems regarding baro, motor pulses fast up/down. Reducing alt P rate to half didn´t resolve the problem.
With 2S lipo the baro seems better, but 3s is preferred. I didn´t start autotune…"

"I tried 3.2RC5 and now i see only in Mission Planner 1.3.7 bad baro health, but not in APM Planner.

2S lipos has less pulses of motors as 3s .. thr. mid was corrected each setup, also decreased alt p.

I´m running out of ideas with my miniapm…"

my mistake.. i connect the external led to a7 port = Arm.
