HI, I'm about to add a second arduino mega card to my flight simulator and I was wondering if I should only connect the new card when I upload the arduino firmware to it. Since the first card is working very well with Mobiflight, I just don't want to change anything to it.

Second question, when you have more then one mega card installed, do they all have to be working with the same com port?

Thanks for your help!

Use different USB port then it will get different com port. Remember to mark them so you don't mix up when upload firmware or config files.

Also backup your files. Remember if u unplug mega then plug back to different USB port it may get different com port and can be confused when upload firmware. I always plug all mega to same USB ports and mark them with comport number.
