While I was setting up my first wiring on an ArduPilot last night, I noticed the manual shows Input 1,2, and 3. The board itseld though, is clearly marked 1,2,3, and 4. This made me wonder a few things...
1- I assume the newer board can use ailerons and rudders independantly? 2- Are there other changes that aren't in the manual yet? 3- When will the manual be updated again?
Woah. I go to the main page, click on "Ardupilot" to the left of the FunJet. Then at that Ardupilot page, scroll down a bit and hit "complete manual" just below "What you need to make a navigation-only autopilot" .
Tim, to answer your question #1 - the ArduPilot (not Mega) has 4 inputs and outputs, but to use 3+ you must solder a few extra wires on the back, and the code only uses 3. There is no support for independant ailerons and rudder.
