hi everyone I have a question.
how do you reverse the direction of a stepper?
I'm trying to use a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor for EGT gaugue and connecting the motor to the board and loading it to the test the motor is fine but it turns counterclockwise

thank you, now it is ok!!
I have another question: Is it possible that mobifligth does not work due to the lack of all the connected and programmed pins that were inserted?
I explain myself: I disassembled my OVHT

to replace the various panels. to do this I unplugged all the cards,
now I am testing the EGT gaugue on free pins of one of the mega cards.
once the stepper is loaded and tested it works (even better after your suggestion)

but opening mobiflight as administrator and in the same way P3d .... when I press the play button of mobiflight it stops immediately,

Could this be caused by the absence of the various buttons which are now not connected?

No....

The missing Elements ( Boards) normaly occure in a Warning after Loading the File ( Or at startup when mobiflight load the last used file)..... This is called "Orphaned Modules"
Mobiflight will tell you there are Elements in your Config file that have no device connected.

YOUR Problem now is different.
A Stoping of Mobiflight when you press the RUN Button is normaly a Error.
Pretty sure the problem is in the Config Line you edited at least ( For example your EGT Gauge Config)

I can not tell you WHAT is wrong.... Lots of possible issues..... For example a wrong entry in transform field.
Good Luck !

If boards are diconnected the related configs have to be deactivated (hook away) or deleted in the inputs and outputs
