Connecting motors and Radio Receiver to MONGOOSE

I have finally connected all the motors and made everything work.
Here are some pictures:



The next picture is the motor orientation:
The connection should be like this:
Motor Front Left: Pin  3 (PB3)
Motor Front Right: Pin 10 (PB2)
Motor Rear Left: Pin 9 (PB1)
Motor Rear Right: Pin 5 (PD5)
Servo Camera Stab: PD6
The PPM sum from my receiver I had to connect it to PD2 (Atmega328 pin 32)
As you can see you have to manual solder the pin 32.


I have added the Atmega 168 pin map because is the same with 328P. You can see the PB3 (Motor Front Left) is connected to MOSI connector that is available on Mongoose.

With some tweaks and bells I have managed to change the multiwii 1.9 to work with mongoose ckdevices board.
Here is the configurations I have tried:
Before i will release the source code, I need to wait a better weather so i can properly fly and test the quadrocopter. I tried some flying indoor in my house but the space is very limited and I did not wanted to risk crashing before I fly it. I did a little hover in Acrobatic mode (gyro only) in my house and it looks promising.
Today was minus 23 C degrees outside and full of snow and until 4-5  February it seems will be same cold outside so no chance to fly it.
Feel free to ask any questions about the connection diagram.
