Howdy,
Outset: Although I am an ICT engineer, using Arduino's is totally new for me.
Today I tried tot connect an Arduino Mega clone (which I got from my son) to my Windows seven Flightsim PC.
I had to install a driver just afterwards that, the connection was recognized past Windows every bit USB-Serial CH340 (COM11).
I installed the Arduino IDE and the Arduino lath was institute. Uploading of a examination sketch (Blink) was positive; no problems.
So I started MFconnector. Later a short time the program answer with: Arduino Megas connected - Do you want to upload Mobiflight firmware? I agreed.
Afterward some time the system respond: There was an mistake uploading the firmware! Enable Debug logging for details.
I enabled the debug logging, did the same matter thing simply I tin can not find a debug file.
Probably the issue is that my board is a clone type. In the MF software the board is recognized as a Arduino Uno (even so, it is a 2560 (Mega) clone).
Looking to the detailed information nearly the board in MF it was stated that Firmware is north/a, Port is 11, Serial due north/a en Type Arduino Uno.
To be complete as possible: in Arduino IDE the board details are: BN: Unknown board, VID 1A86, PID 7523 and SN: Upload a sketch to obtain it. (The last I did simply no departure).
Any help (German is likewise OK for me) is appreciated.
Kind Regards, Hans (Netherlands)

Hi HansK...i had the aforementioned experienced, to me, after this message, i had to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect, perform a Firmware update once more and solved, afterward this the MEGA is recognized, only, every time that i examination if the ARDUINO examples, i demand to reinstal the MF firmware again.
i hope to help yous...sorry for my english.( i tried to no use google translator)

Hi Hans,
that's really a bummer. I see that the VID and PID is the same on your Mega and on my Uno (mine is also a clone).
With the last release where I added support for UNO I moved the VID-PID-combination from Mega to Uno in my config. I thought it was a mistake. Simply actually the problem seems to be, that the VID-PID is not uniquely assigned to either Mega or Uno as I assumed.
My goal was to practise the recognition super automatically - but information technology seems that I have to think over the approach if nosotros have the situation that different board types have similar VID-PID-combinations.
Endeavor to upload the hex file from the "firmware" binder manually to the board and check if information technology then works.
Have a great day!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
First of all: Thanks for your quick answer. The support on this forum is amazing. Most of the expensive commercial software doesn't accept this great support. My compliments! (Volition employ the donate button too this week 
).
After reading some posts yesterday I already had the impression that my problem (and probably from Souza too) had something to do with a non-unique identifier code. That was as well the reason I mentioned it.
This morning I tested again. Beginning I updated Mobiflight to version 7.2.one. and disabled automated upload. I din't know how to upload the firmware with Mobiflight or Arduino IDE (I am a newbie 
) only I establish a nice small plan that did the job for me: Xloader.
Issue: Mobiflight recognizes my clone board now every bit a Mega lath and all looks OK.
Today is a family twenty-four hour period only this week I will continue to notice the possibilities of Arduino and Mobiflight.
Souza and Sebastian thanks for the support!
Hans

Having the aforementioned problem 
Uploaded the firmwares via XLoader.
7.1.three is the latest working version for the 2560 boards..Newer ones recognize them as Uno's.

to get older builds use the download link from webside merely change the concluding value into the version you like...
http://world wide web.mobiflight.de/tl_files/download/releases/MobiFlightConnector-vii.ii.ii.exe
this is the current version link.... just use .........7.2.0.exe for instance
By the way... Sebastian already know the outcome. delight requite him a footling time to fix this. Shure one of the next releases workes for all of u.s.a. !
Proficient Luck !

A little chip besides the bailiwick of this thread only just for information:
Besides the Arduino Mega I own an Arduino Uno (clone) besides simply that lath didn't piece of work with the Mobiflight software.
Not a real trouble for me, I used the Mega version instead.
After updating to version seven.2.3 the Uno clone however is recognized as an Arduino Uno and functions well.
Perfect! Thanks Sebastian!
