I'm trying to follow this

https://www.mobiflight.com/en/tutorials/seven-segment-display.html

I'm using a 4 digit LED. The following are wired
GND > GND
CLK > Digital Port
DUI > Digital Port
CVV > 5V

Sim Status is green tick, MSFS running. Modules has hazard / warning icon.

This is what I see under settings?

Nothing on my LED board

2 Issues.

1. Your Board (Arduino is not detected) i expect you also not have installed firmware or create the 7Seg as a device in MF.
So it can not work !

Please Confirm what Controller you use ( Mega, Uno Micro e.g.)
Also confirm you install needed drivers ( e.g. arduino IDE drivers or CH340 Chip Drivers. )

2. I expect you also have a wrong Display.

Mobiflight is compatible with Max7219 ( no other Driver is supported)
4 Digit Displays with Max7219 are pretty rare. Also they must have 5 Pins instead of your 4.
I expect you have a different LED Driver/Board that is basically not compatible.!

Good Luck !
