I had a complete crash and when rebuilding I am unable to get the Connector to work properly
I have put arduino in the same place as before and the connector is up an running but it seems that something is missing.
I have no lights in my hardware but when testing each light from connector it light up and also the test function from connector(Run,Test,Stop) flashes through all lights on hardware.
It runs and FSUIPC status and modules are green.
On MCP all switches makes move in virtual cockpit bu no lights and no 7 segment working on hardware

What am I missing that cause this.
Good tips appreciated
MF 8.0.2.

Hi Henning,

was the crash with your PC or only MF?

If it concerns only the outputs it may be that the aircraft.ini misses the [SDK]-entry : EnableDataBroadcast=1

You find this file in: [path to your sim]\PMDG\[name_of_aircraft]\[name_of_aircraft]_Options.ini

Maybe a simple another restart of the System ( Sim) is still the solution.

By the way your testing progress is good..... But you just stop a little to early.

Step 1... You confirm the Devices work electrical OK.... TEST result in Blinking LED... So all is fine here.
Step 2... You confirm SIM-Connection is fine.... As you said there is a working data transfer if Inputs reach the sim.

Logical Next Step:

Step 3: Find out if MF receife data for the Outputs..... Simply RUN MF and check what data is shown in the FSUIPC Value Collumn right of the Configs in Output Tab.
Sounds like all Configs gat a raw Value of "0" ..... But then the Displays normaly should show "0" instead of Nothing.

Step 4: Check if it´s a PMDG Problem.... Simply create a new config ( or rework one of your LED Config lines.... Use temporary a other Offset like Stock Aircraft Stuff ( Com1 Frequency, Parking brake) and load a Stock aircraft also. Does it work there ?
Good Luck !
