MobiFlight Community Support

Hi,

I have two Megas and created approximately 80 functions for my home cockpit WIP under 8.1, which work great.
Updating from 8.1 downloading 9.1 or using 9.1.0.5 beta all result in 'unhandled exception' message when the Arduinos are plugged in.

Can I update the Megas via the Arduino IDE (which code file should I use for that), should I reset the Arduinos and upload the 9.1 firmware via the Mobiflight connector, what would be the best way to proceed?
Any help and insides would be much appreciated, as I am stuck right now...

Thank you!

Hi

I don´t know this issue..... But for sure i also never try a update with those big steps. Regularry a user update just from one Release to the other and not jump over multiple patches that include also multiple Firmware Updates.... (Whatever it "should" also work in your situation )

If you like you can try a easy workaround.

1. Re-Install your 8.1 and confirm it still work there.
If Yes... Use that working VErsion to open your Board settings and make a SAVE of the mfmc File ( If you not already do) for both boards.

2. Open Arduino IDE and upload the EEPROM Clear Sketch to the Boards.
This will delete the whole boards and they are empty like in production state.

3. Plug in the Board(s) and start 9.1 ..... It should detect the Board and offert to upload Firmware.....
(May using only one board at a time for this update is also a good idea)

4. At last you can use your Backup MFMC Files so you can re-upload your Devices without make them for new !

Thank you pizman, I will give it a go.
Your input is much appreciated!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

[solved and fixed]
A combination of user carelessness (2 x Botton 2) and the new beta have resolved my issue!
Thanks for everyone chiming in and for your help @DocMoebiuz! Much appreciated!
