Arduxxx armed/not armed status

General

Hi all, sorry in advance if this is not the proprer discussion… Please help me if not
We are developing an external system and we would like to know if there is a common way to know if an Ardu* flight control board IS armed OR NOT. Initially I tought to check the PWM signal of motors, but I learned that the board can be configured avoidinig motor spinning when armed!

Thans in advance
Marco

What interface do you have to ArduPilot?

Typically one would use MAVLink over a serial connection and look at the
HEARTBEAT message.
