Hello All. My name is Terry, Live in Minnesota USA. I have a flight Simulator with a motion platform with 2DOF connected using Sim Tools. I have made my own throttle controls, Autopilot control and Radio control. The throttle control is connected thru FSUIPC and the Autopilot and Radio are connected using Link2fs. I am thinking about moving the radio and autopilot controls to Mob Flight. My first question is : If I connect my Arduino mega from the autopilot panel to mob flight is all I need to do is push a button or turn a knob and then assign that function in mob flight?? and the second question is some of the wires have came disconnected from the Arduino board and I don't know where they go I believe they are the ones that supply voltage to the max 7219 displays. (3) where can I get a wiring diagram of this connection??

Thank You

Is this post in the wrong place?? Is their a step by step guide on "HOW TO" use Mob flight???

Hello,
If you are using Mobiflight, here are the basic steps:
1) The MF software flashes a new firmware to your Arduino
2) You define in MF (on an intuitive GUI), which inputs and outputs are connected to which PINs.
For this step you have to know your arduino and electric circuits.
3) You define in MF (again on a intuitive GUI) which inputs and outputs (defined above) are connected to whichs SIM functions.
There are a lot of tutorials available.
Good to start with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS8KGfYRNrY
Or you can get some inspiration from Carl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9EGCjD7V-M
(here from 29:00, you can check MF programming)

Also there are lot of info on MF Github: https://github.com/MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector/wiki
Here is one about the MAX7219 tube:
