Hello

I am just getting started with Arduino and MobiFlight but I have done my first basic setup following your parking brake example on YouTube. After I go into test mode, my LED does light, but it is very dim. I reloaded Blink onto the Arduino and tested that pin (Pin 32) and it is very bright with blink. Is there something in the MobiFlight code that limits the voltage to the LED or is there a way to increase the brightness of the LED in MobiFlight? I have tried this with multiple LED colors and multiple pins just to confirm. Thank you for your help.

It should be as bright as in the Blink example.
Usually that means that the pin is not correctly initialized as output.

Please make sure that there is no conflicting config with that pin.

What firmware are you using? The latest?

Have a great day!

Yes, I am on the latest. I did end up solving the problem. It appears that when I first add a new setting, it will not display the LED at full voltage until I exit MobiFlight and then start it back up. After that, they are just as bright. I am not sure why that is happening, but it works just fine now. Thanks so much!!!

Hey Josh, the exact samething is happening to my board as well and I'm running on the latest firmware of Mobiflight. Thanks to you I solved the problem exactly as you did and I'm really greatful that it works. I have to close the Mobiflight program and start it again and voila, the new LED is as bright as can be.

Thanks again Josh.
