The two expansion ports go to ATmega1280 pins PF6 and PF7. That's Analog 5 and 6 in Arduino.

Features

  • Dual 3.3V Regulator. (One dedicated for analog sensors)
  • Relay switch for cameras, lights or payloads
  • 12-bit ADC for better Gyro/Accel/!AirSpeed resolution.
  • Built-in 16Mb Data Logger (The Black Box).
  • Piano DIP switch for servo reverse or user customizable.
  • Built-in FTDI, making the board native USB.
  • Dedicated Modem/OSD port.
  • I2C Port with incoming "Daisy Chain board" allowing you to build sensor arrays.
  • Two user-programmable buttons (one momentary, the other slide).
  • 10-Bit analog expansion ports.
  • Reset button.
  • Optional "Through Hole" voltage dividers (Easy to solder).
  • Tons of Status LEDs.
  • New vibration resistance Invensense Gyros (Triple Axis).
  • Analog Devices ADX330 Accelerometer.
  • Airspeed sensor port (optional, sold separately).
  • Absolute Bosch pressure sensor and temp for accurate altitude (Yes, you can use your shield as a Weather Logger, too).
