Hello, How do I send & receive MCP data (airspeed, alt, course etc) from an Arduino Mega to FSUIPC and MSFS. What software do I need?
I managed to hook up my MCP PCB (printed circuit board) to the Arduino Mega, but now I want to connect that Arduino Mega to my desktop FSUIPC+MSFS system

What is the Problem ?

You got a Sim. You already got FSUIPC as you said. You got a Panel that is still wired to your Mega as you said.
So its logical the next Step is to make your settings in Mobiflight and RUN it.

Please tell me WHAT is the problematic point? For me it looks like you have no idea what Mobiflight is or what it is need for.
Good Luck !

Problematic Points answer for Pizman82
1) I am looking for a beginner's Mobiflight tutorial on the MCP connect.
2) I heard MSFS 2020 is still in beta with lots of issues. What is a good (not too expensive) 737 sim that Mobiflight users prefer.

Thanks

JB

I just finished a simulation box that completed all the pins of a mega 2560 for FS2020 and I am very happy, the process is easy and comfortable
start 1- FS 2020
2- Fsiupc
3- Mobiflight
4- Enjoy :D

At the moment its the wrong time to buy another AddOn.

A Good 737 is for example PMDG..... Neraly 100 US$ . But you have to pay again if you like to use the FS2020 Version in the future. so if you plan finaly for FS2020 it make no sense to buy another Sim ( P3D) and a other version of a 737 yet.

MF is pretty Easy.... I´m sorry for my bad awnser in first posting..... But we got Tutorials on our Homepage.... We got a Forum with more then 20.000 Postings and we got more then 200 hrs. of Youtube Videos that are MF Related.

So a basic guide or a short overview about Mobiflight is not needed if you just use Google for 5 Minutes !
Good Luck !

I am also a beginner with Arduino and Mobiflight but when you follow the very clear instructions on the website, most of your questions are answered. Start with the beginners projects and take it from there. To me, Mobiflight is a great opportunity to learn and it's even for free (donate when you like it!). When I started with the simple projects I started to understand Mobiflight and had a lot of fun with it. Read, try and read more, make mistakes, learn and try again, even with a simple project like the parking brakes LED I was very happy with the result. Put some effort in it like the makers of Mobiflight before you ask questions that would be answered when you follow the guidelines on the website. It is much more rewarding in the end...
