I have a clone Mega and having problems uploading the parking brake LED example. In Windows control panel, device manager under ports the Mega appears as "USB -SERIAL CH340 (COM4)" but in MobiFlight, Settings, MobiFlight Modules in the Information section the Mega is shown as Port COM7. When I try to upload the LED module for this example I get a message "uploaded finished with error"

I've changed the port in device manager to COM7 but I still get the error message.

This is the information shown at the bottom of th eMF connector window for the last 2 times that I've loaded MF

Is problem down to the Mega being a clone?
I'd be grateful for some advice.
Thanks
