Autopilot Errors: no motor controller

Normally pypilot uses /dev/ttyAMA0 exclusively but it can use a different port.

I wish I could tell you concisely how the motor controller is connected to the raspberry zero. Due to my lack of electronic knowledge, we bought the assembled pypilot hardware in Germany. 

I am still trying to understand how it is connected by looking at the main board plan, which is not trivial to my brain.  Huh Maybe you are faster on this? Attached is the main board plan. Many thanks!

In case this helps to understand better the plan, here is what the entire hardware looks like:
