MobiFlight Community Support

I have a radio panel that I built myself with Mobiflight that has 4 Max7219 displays, which has been working well for a long time, I believe I have been using this panel for over two years. But after the last update of Mobiflight they simply turn off after some time of operation. I'm using MSFS 2020 and I've already checked my USB settings and everything is normal, I'm with version 9.5.0 and I didn't make any changes to the programming or modules, it just happened all of a sudden. After approximately 15 minutes the displays go out. The software is working and when I press a button the displays light up again.

7Hi

Apollogy for that.
This is a know Bug coming with 9.5.

While we change some new settings for other features we did a misstake.
For a very rare number of users with a very unique setup this issue occur.
Thats also the reason why we not see this in Beta Testing, cause maybe 1% of users have exactly that unique setup. ( your just the 4th user, who report this out of thousands, we got oun our lists).

Problem:
At first we thougt we simply support a Hotfix, but badly we also do some other workflow there. So this "hotfix" is not useable cause its technical still a part of MF 10.0.
Pleaese keep await for a solution the next days....

OR

Use the workflow!
Simply create a LED Device on the same board where your Displays are located ( e.g. if you got a empty Pin there).
Then create a LED Output Config with THAT LED..... No mater what you show there.
Basically the Bug is solved if there exist also a LED on that board with a Active (checkmark!!!) config who use it!

Great! thanks for the feedback. Beta version 9.5.0.1 installed. Tested here and problem solved. Congratulations for the excellent work. You are too much...

Here too, on my pedestal had the same problem. Radio panel displays were going off after 15mins. Today installed 9.5 beta and problem solved. Thanks for the all effort guys.

Same issue here!
But it is a really strange problem.
The single XPNDR display is working fine, but COM, NAV and ADF radios turns the displayes off after 20-30 minutes. By just turning the encoder, they will come alive

Updated to the beta version now and hopefully that will solve this issue

Hi

YES. Beta will solve this.
If not please report again.... then we need to check!


By the way.... Its not "maybe 20-30 min" .... its exactly 15.00 Min.

And the reason why your XPNDR is fine, but COM NAV ADF not.... If we talk about the bug i would expect the XPDR is set to another Arduino.
the basic problem was, that a Arduno ( not the Max) fell into sleep mode in case of the missing "KeepAlive" Call.
If the Mega of the XPDR have also a LED on it.... But the Mega of the other Displays only have e.g. Input Buttons.... then exactly this happens!
