Hello

Welcome to the AQ forum.
It is not hard to find the Mixing and output screen. Under the Main Widget click on Autoquad and then go to the Mixing & Output screen.

To change PPM input port you currently have to edit and re-compile the firmware. In the latest revisions the setting is in the board_xxx.h files. Default corresponds to M14:

#define PPM_PWM_CHANNEL 13 // which PWM channel to use for PPM capture

The motor output ports are all set up in the mixing config, as Larry says. You can use any port, except M14 if PPM input is enabled.

Ok thank you for the help. Have found it. I set the motor ports from m7 to m14. But i also want to use ppm.. if i change the firmware so ,that ppm port is m2 is there any conflict with my setup or work fine? Ore in short words want to use m7-m14 for motors and ppm on m2.

No, you can do that. But you will have restrictions when using P1,3,4 for other purposes I think. They run on the same timer.

Want to use m3 for led1 and m6 for beeper. Is this a problem? The rest is not used at the moment.i do not need gimbal function
I downloaded the sourcecode for actual firmware. I have read the wikis developer page with hints for the propper compiler. Have installed and do all till i had opened the aq projekt file.in the correct file i Changed the value from ppm definition to 2. But (im not a programmer) cant find a button to create a hex file...i go crazy....is there a posibility to get a ready compiled hex file with the change of ppm port from 14 to 2 from a nice aq programer here in forum?please need help...

If you get the mavlink frome here you should be fine. My compile works.
