First, you assign a name to the new config entry by double-clicking on an empty row and typing it the name via the keyboard. You will return to the configuration overview - which still is empty.
Close the Settings dialog now by clicking on OK-button. In the positive case, now your MobiFlight will remember that on Pin 22 a LED is connnected - even if you restart it or power off. Therefore click on the upload -button on the very left of the toolbar.Ī message will show up that indicates whether the upload has been successful or not. There is one step left - we have to upload the new configuration to your board. In the toolbar below, there are different buttons to perform different actions. On the left, choose the desired MobiFlight board in the tree view - there might be more than depending on how many boards are connected. It has to know that at one of it's pins an LED is connected. First you must open the settings dialog, because we want to configure the MobiFlight board. In this example we assume it is empty because nothing has been configured yet. When you open MobiFlight Connector you'll see an overview of your current configuration. Take care that you properly connect the anode of the LED together with the resistor at pin 22 and the cathode with GND. As you can see in the schematic view, the two pins at the bottom of the pins socket is marked as "GND" - pin 54 and So we use one of these pins for our GND connection. The voltage of the Mega's pin is 5V as stated in the data sheet. It is preferred to use a resistor within this connection.

Then you'll learn step by step how to configure the MobiFlight Connector software.
Sounds like fun? It is! First the electronical connection of the LED is explained. The LED shines if the parking brake is set and turns off the moment you release the brake. The LED is configured in such a way that it is in sync with the status of your parking brake.
