Need more details about your hardware and setup. Did u use MF 7.5.1. Also please clear the mega eprom first before upload new firmware. Then upload ur hardware setup, then run ur config. Remember there certain limitation of hardware u can use. Good luck.

Yes. You can upload pict to free websites, like imgBB or tinyPic , then use the pict insertion icon , the one above :confused: , it should be like this '[ img]yourpictURL[ /img]' . YourpictURL is the link to your pict given to you from the website to share. Good luck.

Also try to trouble shoot by testing your setup part by part. For example, setup LCD first , make sure they display correctly . Then setup 1 or 2 buttons only , make sure they work . Then setup additional encoders , make sure they work . Then finally put all together . Good luck.

????

The Problem in the past was, that Settings of Placeholders (in the Config) was lost after you save it and restart mobiflight !

THIS Bug is solved with new version as i know ( Not try the release till now but in Beta that was fixed.

I not understand WHAT you Upload to the board here. The Hardwarepart ( Device on Arduino) is the same like before ! Nothing need to be uploaded !
Good Luck !

It been repeated many times that arduino uno not supported and there problems with them. Can you test with only arduino mega and disconnect uno for now. Good luck.

As thatchi said... UNO is not longer supported since 2 Years ! Please read the Stickys here in Forum !
We not remove Firmware and possibility to UNO cause some things are working and "older" Users still use it. BUT we not build new stuff ( Like LCD) for UNO and we not test it anymore. ... So "Maby" a feature work... "Maby" Not.

I Recommend to use MEGA only.... If you use UNO its your problem to find out if the issue is the UNO itself !

*****************

About the other thing.... WHAT is a "radio arduino code" that you use on your UNO before ??

I know translating is bad and my english is not the best finaly.... BUT You need to explane so stuff more detailed ! We can not see your system. We have no screenshots.
so we must understand the problem just by your description.... So please try to give us a better information !
Good Luck !
