Hello guys,
I am trying to set up servo with my Arduino mega and Mobiflight but it doesn not work.
My servo is a SG 90.
I have these configurations :
Output type : servo on PIN 9
When I click on "Test" button, the servo does not moove. But when I try with Arduino software it works but not with mobiflight.
Do you have an idea to fix my problem ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

best regards,

Jean-Nicolas

Hi Jean.

Sorry for this issue.

It´s a little problem to solve this without see youre setup.
Please confirm you use the TEST Button in the Display Tab.... Not the Test field between Start and Stop in Main Menu. ( Setting for test Min 0 Max 255 Rotation 100% )
To Exclude the Bug of the last version.... Please confirm also you updated MF to current Version 7.2.3 and make a restart after flashing new firmware.

At Last please check youre wire system. +5v and GRD correct ?? To Exclude a board Problem please try another Pin... 20 for example. and run Mobiflight as Admin !

If all these not solve the problem , then report here...
We will find a solution!

Good Luck !
