@all, @@gioccd

Hello everyone,

I'm a user come from Simvim and I made a MCP panel a few time ago.
Now, I would like to use Mobiflight whitout all rebuild from 0!!

So, I have read that now multplexer are supported.
I have create a new config in the app and I start to attribute my differents input.
But, I am quicky stopped because I can't to attribute all my switches, I explain:

My MCP panel use:

- 2 inputs multiplexers for all the switches (KD-22) and toggles
- 1 input multiplexer for all the encoders
- 1 output multiplexer for all the clock pin to the max7219 7 segment modules

All the led are connected on 2 cascaded shift register.

So, in Mobiflight:
1) I created my first input multiplexer (switch and toggle part 1), no problem -> OK
2) I created my second input multiplexer (switch and toggle part 2) -> OK
3) I would like to create a third input multiplexer for my encoders -> PB: Mobiflight can't to create more 2 multiplexers
4) I would like to create the output multiplexer -> impossible to choose in the option, not disponible in the drop down list.

So, could someone using such a configuration help me?

Can you tell me if in a future release the usable number of multiplexers will be increased?
Can you tell me if a multiplexer can be used as an output (for my 7 segments for example)

Thanks a lot for all your job,

Olivier

Hi,

So, I tested my MCP panel with the new beta version 9.4.0.4 and the multiplexers support.
For the moment, only digital inputs are supported so only my switches and toggles are tested -> all it's OK

there remains only the support for the output multiplexers for the max7219 modules and perhaps the input support for the encoders (a little more delicate to set up if I understand correctly)
