Hi all new here, and struggling, I have a Arduino mega 2560, a 28BYJ-48 5v and have created a flaps gauge, I have read many post and configs in mobi flight but none seem to work, the stepper either will not move or will goto 40 flaps when I select flaps 1, I have setup flaps in the output of Mobiflight and setup fsuipc like this http://prntscr.com/114q4pq, compare is setup like this http://prntscr.com/114q60a with the input and output values going down to 40000 / 2710, now on the display section http://prntscr.com/114q74o in the test value i have tried different values ie 340 and hit the test and it moves to the flaps 1, then hit the stop and it returns back to 0 and all the other values work and move, I have been reading maybe i need to enter data ref into xuipc but im a complete novice, but once shown ill never forget, now i found the offsets for the flaps in xuipc, if anyone can help where do i go from here to get the flaps moving, either in the zibo or the fljsim 737-200 or any aircraft in fact.
Thank you in advance..

Ok I have managed to get it working, dont know how but trial and error but it works, this works in the Xplane 11 and in the Zibo
using this STL 3d Print , https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1816283 with a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and a mega 2560

Step 1) FSUIPC settings http://prntscr.com/119jwin
Step 2) Compare values, are 0/0, 1000/240, 2000/520, 5000/1250, 10000/2600, 15000/2700, 20000/2800
Step 3) Display http://prntscr.com/119jzqb
Step 4) adjusted each output value in Compare to match needle position.

and don't forget to save

I thought I would pass this on.
