Well

It looks like it is better with the laptop. But not yet perfect.
MobiFlight succed to connect to FS9 thanks to WIDEFS (registerd)
FSUIPC Status = OK

The led turns on/off as soon as the period key is pressed.
But nothing happend when the Switch is actioned.

Oooo boy

After testing again with ARDUINO MEGA
the switch is correctly set with a 10k resistor

A Switch is not Set with a resistor in Mobiflight !!
Please not Mix Up a Arduino tutorial with Mobiflight technics !

A basic switch is set with TWO Lines.... PIN to Switch .... Switch to GRD
Maby the Resistor is crashing the system !

Please make a verry simple test....
Set a wire ( Jumper cable if you got) into the Pin you setup in Devices for that Input Switch)
Set another Wire into GRD
Run Mobiflight and get shure you activate "Logging mode"
Now Take the two wires and bring them together... ( So you close a cirquit between Pin and GRD) This is same likeyou push a button
Question: Does the Logging String of Mobiflight now show "Button **** PRESS" or if you stop touching the wires.... It must show "Button **** ON RELEASE"

Alternate.... You remove the resistor and test again ( if you not like to make the wire testing)

*********
Please report experience.
First Step... We must get your Button working.... THEN we can Think about the Offset and the FSUIPC System of FS9

Good Luck !
