Would that card work with Mobiflight even tho its a CP2102 USB driver required.

Love that minimal design!

I think Yes

As descrinpted you need the optional USB Driver. The Chip normaly should be working like a standard mega ! But i not test this.... so i can´t garantee 100%.



BUT

Let me ask WHY you love this minimal design ??

You only get disadvantage if you use this.....

- No USB Driver
- handling is much harder with this small size
- No Pin Headers.... You have to solder every device and have to desolder if you like a change..... A Connector is much better
- No Power regulator for external power
- non Compatible to all shields
- and Finaly much more expensive like a standard Arduino Mega !

I just ask cause im intrested why somebody like to use this ???? And please not tell me it´s cause you have less Space in your Panel. :confused:
Good Luck !

It's tiny - looks slick. It depends how it shows up in the registry. If it says something like Arduino Mega - then it will work. If not then we must likely add the VID/PID combination to MobiFlight.
Have a great day!
