Hello friends:
I just bought a new arduino board: MegaXPRO R3 - Mega 2560 R3 ATmega2560-16AU, USB-UART CP210x, 86 I / O, 5V / 3.3V.
(The MegaXPRO R3 - Mega 2560 R3 is an extra I/O board, which is convenient to use for creating powerful projects with more function.
With 86 I/O - 69 digital I/O pins, 17 analog inputs (YES, more pins unlike standard Arduino Mega 2560 with 70 I/O), 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), one I2C and one SPI interface, and a larger memory space 256KB for your sketch.
In addition, you can create a project with 3.3V or 5V logic level. Onboard has a solution for switch between 3.3V or 5V.)

Can it be compatible with MB?

Connect your USB cable..... Run Mobiflight..... You got the awnser :-)

On first view this is already a Mega2560r3 ..... So i would say it is compatible maybe already at beginning.
Whatever the number of Pins we can use is limmited through the firmware and the MF Connector GUI.
So also if this board workes for you like a normal Mega..... You will not see the additional Pins in Mobiflight now.

If it work.... Sebastian maybe can increase the Pin Number to work with it. Whatever i feel sad cause the most problematic part is not solved. the MEM is already 256k.
What Mobiflight would need to get into a new level is a controller with 512 or 1024kb Mem..... Badly this is not happen here.
Good Luck !

Thanks Pizman82.
As soon as I get it, I will test how he responds with MB and I will comment on the result.
