Yesterday I updated the program to version 7.1.2 but since then the program files will not start. not even part of the installation files you download from the site.
How can I fix the problem?
where I find the version 7.1.1 to download?
thank you.

You can always download the last version by changing the version number in the download link.

Can try to explain again what is not working for you exactly?
Have a great day!

I've updated to version 7.1.2, and since then the program is no longer the party if I have the Arduino Mega connected. if I unlink my card the program leaves regularly. I also tried connecting another Arduino mega but the problem persists.

Hi

the upgrade function should work smooth and easy. In case you experience problems I recommend to download MobiFlight from the Website again, you copy it into a new folder and start it from there. It should start fresh and clean now.

Please let me know if you still experience problems.
Have a great day!
Sebastian

I did some tests I arrived at these conclusions.
if I connect to a PC Arduino with the mobiflight mobiflight firmware loaded the program does not start. If gearbox and load any firmware, then launch the program mobiflight this part correctly update the firmware but if I'm going to add a device to any type of an input and then cliccco upgrade the program tells me that the firmware has been successfully updated, but the device it is not added.
The problem has been reported with both the 7.1.1 version with 7.1.2.
I state that I use mobiflight for months has never given me problems and I find it fantastic.:

update.
Now I can also start the program with the board connected. to solve the problem I had to cancel .mcc files and start from scratch. now the problem is that when I go to see a device such as a button, I choose the pin and I click on upgrade, the program tells me that everything is ok but the button's pin is set to 2 and not that indicated by me.

I finally solved the problem. was a configuration error, I resettatto everything and started again from scratch. now everything is OK.
since there are I would like to ask for your help.
I am creating an EFIS the PMDG 737 panel, but I'm finding it difficult to configure a rotary switch CTR that must have 4 positions APP VOR MAP PLN. event id is 69991param from 0 to 3.
I'm using action type EVENT ID
on PRESS
EVENT 69991
param 0
ON RELEASE?
I have set
EVENT 69991
param 536870912 but wrong.

I am not too familiar with the pmdg but what is the purpose of assigning a onRelease action?
Have a great day!

Do you use a regulary Rotary Encoder with one pin for every shifting position ?? Or do you use a endless encoder ?

With a normaly encoder you NOT need a "On Release" function.
So you need to create a seperate config for every single switch position.

With a endless encoder you only need to set 1 Config....
On Right and On Left is then used by the same EventID as values you can use Mousewheel values from SDK for Up and down.

Good luck !
Good Luck !
