MobiFlight Community Support

Hi,
i'm new with mobiflight.
I have a problem with the "use type of" tab in configuration wizard.
It is empty. However, I chose my arduino mega module well. But there is nothing in the "use type of" drop-down menu.
Thanks for your help because I can't go further.
Best regards

Hi

If there is nothing in this List then this is 99% in case there exist no Device !

Please Confirm you create a device of this kind! .

For example if you have no LED Device on the Mega you choose then for sure the Dropdown for a LED (Pin) is empty.
Same way if you not create a 7Seg Display on that Mega you will not see the LED7Seg Option in the List!

Another misstake that often happen is the wrong section (In/Out)
If you create a Button but you try to build a Output Config by misstake, then for sure there the button is not listed ( button is NOT a Output)
Same way inverted..... if you got a LED Device on the Board and you try to make a INPUT Config by misstake in Device Tab there is nothing cause a Input Config will not show a LED..... It just show Buttons, Encoders and so on.

thanks for your quick return.
But I have checked my connections and they are correct and I have put the LED in Output.
i will try a little program with the arduino IDE to see if my card is not dead?

If you "see" the LED Device in the Settings Tab ( Settings/Mobiflight Modules) and it is listed THERE..... Then it must be also available in the Configs.

If the device is not in that list ( after RESTART of MF and Mega) then you pretty sure not UPLOAD it.

For sure there can be a Problem or other reason..... But for me it looks like a simple wrong usage by a mistake.
Please check again..... If this is really a Bug we will check this and help with a hotfix !

the card works.
I will give you screenshots, it might be easier for you.
I took the 1st tutorial step by step and I can't do it.

the link where you can find 4 screenshots. (this is my personnal website for joomla developments)

here is another screenshot which shows the arduino mega name (picture number 5). It's a little weird, isn't it

Hi again

Thanks for the Pics.

Looks like a corrupted Firmware
This can happen verry rare.

Please RESET the Mega.... Use your Arduino IDE and upload the EEPROM Clear Sketch..... Then Run the Mega one time to delete all the Mega.
After that connect the Mega once again and start Mobiflight.
It should detect the "new" board.... offert to upload Firmware and finally you can create the device for new.

Hopefully it work.

Hi
many thanks, it works.
You have helped me very well.


Well, I may not have finished

how to note that it is solved
