Hi everybody, I use mobiflight 7.4 with Arduino UNO R3 (original version), X-Plane10 and Win10.
I followed the tutorial "Tutorial - Servo Motors" for control the flaps indicator with a servo motor (I've tried both the servo SG90S and the servo MG995)
but neither of them works; no sign of life on the part of the servos (all like death).
I've tried, also, a tutorial for use a stepper motor 28BYJ-48 for compass but don't work.
if I try, however, the tutorial "LED - Parking Brake" all works fine.
Where is my error? I must install particulary librery or other program for use the mobiflight with servo motor or stepper motor?
Thanks and ciao

***
Please Note.... Mobiflight is designed for Arduino MEGA.
The support for UNO was just experimental and Sebastian not was able to make it work 100%... And he stop working on that term !

I think at the moment the policy is simple..... MEGA is working fine.... UNO not.... So we recommend all Users to use MEGA !
If you like you can try UNO, too.... But please appology we are not planing to fix problems with this controler.
If your project work on UNO.... Then it´s fine.... if NOT please use a MEGA instead of UNO !

Good Luck !
