Hi

Basicly the Clones work fine with Mobiflight ( Myself and nearly all other users work with clones) .
Problem is that clones have different Sid/Pid numbers..... So Sebastian include the clone numbers always if a user report a problem.
Whatever we have no issue reports since 2 Years so we think we have now already all possible numbers in the system.

If your right you have a exotic clone that is not detected.
Please get in contact with Sebastian or much better report this in the bitbucket page.
If possible find out the "numbers" of your clone already.

Last Note: Seb is verry bussy a.t.m. So not hope for a bugfi within the next weeks or maby months.
I recommend ( if possible) to use a other Mega Clone for now and store the problematic one for the future. Pretty sure Seb will help you.... but not hope for quick response.

Good Luck !

Been discussed in past. Clone mega use ch340 chip and need ch340 driver. Please make sure ch340 installed and test with arduino ide by upload any sample code. Double check ide detect and set for mega 2560 , and code uploaded properly without errors. Then run MF connector.

U can try xloader and select mega2560 with correct USB port.
It may work. Good luck..
