Hi Lewis, it is actually pretty easy. Someone needs to make a tutorial on how to assign a Led to a specific action, you can do the rest yourself. If I have time I would do a tutorial for you.

How do you do it? And can you use an atmega 2560 based chip board and not an arduino?

Yes you can use an atmega 2560 chip, but then you have to burn the bootloader and write the arduino sketch yourself, which means you can't use mobiflight, and mobiflight makes things a lot easier :) unless you replikate arduino mega (build it yourself). Replikating mega 2560 would be an option if you build a pcb yourself and want to integrate mega within the board. Because there is no DIP version of atmega 2560, it means that you have to be very good at soldering tiny pins and pads. So it depends what you want to do. At the end the easiest and cheapest way is still Arduino Mega 2560 (In my opinion)
