Hi

here is a missunderstanding....

The Arduino not load a "mcc" or whatever you mean wit "Mobiflight Programm"

Please explane more detailed the nature of problem....

Does MF Conector ( The desktop app) start and work ?
Do you mean the "board" (Mega) is no longer shown and useable ?
Or Do you mean you not be able to UPLOAD a new Device onto the Board ?

Sorry i can not directly help..... I need more information about the issue itself !
Good Luck !

thank you for your interest, it's mobiflight that no longer loads my program on one of my arduino boards.
all work correctly with other arduino card with the same mcc file except one card no longer recognizes its program and no longer loads and it is detected by mobiflight.

Hi

This can have multiple reasons.

1. Cable.
We have lots of reports of broke or poor USB Cables.... So if possible first check is to use for testing one of the other Cables you got ( simply swap from a other Mega that work fine, that cable with the problematic ones.

2. Corrupted Firmware.
Can happen in rare cases.... may a issue while a Upload or simply a bad mem Chip on the Mega itself.
Here the first step is to "Reset the Mega to Manifactur State" .... Done by flashing the EEPROM CLEAR Sketch ( Via Arduino IDE) .
This sketch simply delete the whole Mega .... All MF Settings and Firmware is gone.
After that you can flash it for new !
NOTE: If you have no Backup (mfmc file) of this Board..... Then you need to set all the Devices/Pins for new ! With a backup file this is just a "load --> upload" 2 Click work !

3. Broke Mega
For sure.... Your board can simply be past away..... Nothing lifes forever :cry:

*******
Mostly 90% Point2 ..... 9% Point 1 ..... <1% Point 3
Good Luck !
