Hi all,
Before I start this looks like a great product with big potential so congratulations on this.

My problem is that I am using the Freetronics eleven which is supposedly a 100% compatible arduino uno but is not being recognized by Mobiflight.

On the interface module shows yellow triangle and under the Mobiflight module in setting it shows "none".

I have followed previous forum suggestions like loading the blink program which works fine and possible issues with the VID PID in hardware so I will list these as well.

Current setup:
Windows 10
X-Plane 11
Arduino IDE 1.8.3.
Mobiflight 7.3.2
(Freeetronics 26U2 USB (COM4) properties) (Hardware Ids)
USB\VID_26BA&PID_003&REV_0001
USB\VID_26BA&PID_003

Arduino mega ,it's VID and PID are strangely the same or could this be right? (starting to get out of my depth I fear).

I don't like to mention other products but just to give some history with these arduino's they both work fine with Link2fs on FSX (sorry if I offend certainly not intentional),

Not sure what other info may be needed so I will leave it at this for now.

Thanks and Regards,
Dean

Hi Dean,

please do yourself the favour and do not use the UNO or any derivate of it. UNO is only experimental with MobiFlight and may be buggy in the moment.

You can use the MEGA 2560 R3 in every case what will work without a problems,unless you built them yourself

If your MEGA is recognized by MobiFlight you can first upload the firmware and the MEGA will be recognized as a MobiFlight modul.
Then you can start your configuration in the MF GUI to controll your own inputs and outputs. If you use the X-Plane, please use also the XPUIPC-module which you can look for via Google. How this work in detail please use the "search"-function in this forum or use - right - aunt google

If you have further questions don't hezitate to ask them.

Grüße,
Stephan (Time: UTC+2)
