Whatever I choose in ConfigWizard "Use type of" it is empty.
Trying to follow the tutorial about your first Led.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I follow the tutorial "LED-Parking Brake".
I am use the preset "Control - Brake parking", after that I go to "Display" and Choose my Module.
Direct under this scrolbar there is another scrolbar "Use type of". And this is empty.
Maybe it is my Mega board, because when I tried another it worked.

In first Dropdown you choose your Mega .... In the Second you choose for the device..... In your case a LED.... Can also be a Motor, a LCd or a 7Seg.
If this Dropdown is empty then you not create a device already.

Before you can use here a LED you must go to settings/Mobiflight boards and you must create AND Upload the Device.

If you still do this and the list is empty again then ....
1. Do a restart of Mega ( Remove USB Wire and set it again after 5 Seconds)
2. Do a Restart of Mobiflight

If this not helps there is a issue in the Board..... then delete the EEPROM and falsh firmware again and/or create the device again !
Good Luck !

Thank you!

Works perfectly now in testing mode, but does not work with FSX.
There is no lamp lightning up when I set the parking brake.
Have tested with FSX various planes.

Have also tested with PMDG 737NGX, but change the offset output to 65A7 (PED_annunParkingBrake).

I donĀ“t know what to do?
Failed in my first attempt :-/

You talk about 2 different things....

1. Electrical Part.
If you confirm the LED light up if you press TEST within the config ( NOT the Test next to RUN/STOP Buttons.... I talk about the TEST in Display tab of the Config) then the LED and also the Mega work fine.

2. Software part.
If you RUN Mobiflight you see right of your Output Configs 2 Columns..... FSUIPC Value ( tha raw Value Mobiflight read from FSUIPC) and Output Value ( The executed Value after transform/Compare/Interpolation ) ...... Left of the Config you can see a Red "!" if config is Disabled in case of a Precondition.

So.... If your config is Active ( checkmark set and no "!" Symbol) then it must running.....
If the Output Value say 0 a LED is OFF..... if it is 1 or any other Number then LED is ON.

Check this !
Good Luck !

Finally it works :)
When I did it all over again, there were no values in "FSUIPC Value" or in "Output Value". I then tried to press the blue triangle "Test". And then the LED light started to flash. Then I hit the "Run", and then it worked again. Seems like the contact between FSX and Mega doesn't really find each other.
But now I'm glad it works :)

Btw. I can not see a Red "!"

Thanks!

A Red "!" is only shown if config is disabled in case of a false precondition.....
If you not use Preconditions in your config then also no "!" can occure.

About RUN....

Sure... Only if RUN is active then Mobiflight read the data and get connection to the Sim. Without RUN Mobiflight will simply show nothing ( or the last data that was recived before you stop in some situations).
Good Luck !
