Multiwii software on an Ardupilot Mega 2.0 board?

Hi,

a friend gave me a Ardupilot Mega 2.0 board to play around with, he doesn't use it anymore and I was in need for a quadcopter flight controller :-)

Now, I know that there is an "Arducopter" software, but since I'm a fan of the Multiwii firmware I'd really like to flash this one onto the board. Is there any way I can do that? Some (minor) code changes wouldn't be any problem as long as there's anyone here who could tell me what I needed to change in order to get it to work with the APM 2.0...

Thanks!
Malte

just guessing;
pin assignments, sensors' i2c addresses?

Not 100% shure but I think APM2 is using SPI instead of i2c for MPU 6050.

Now that would be very interesting and the way to go if this is actually the case.

Any update on this. I would be very interested in using MultiWii software on my APM but I wouldn't know where to begin.

besides, i love MW but you cant get a good idea of how good or bad MW is unless you try something else. I'm down for finding a new FC someday, hopefully it will fall in my hands like yours so i dont have to pay for it :)
