Hey Guys, thanks for creating this. Finished my first Button-Box prototype EVER yesterday and everything workes just fine. Just some pushbuttons and switches but I had absolutely no clue about ANYTHING regarding electronics before. Took me overall about two weeks from the Idea to finish with about 2 days for building the box, 1 afternoon wiring and welding and 3 hours for setup...... and then again 2 hours for welding bad connections again😇 It was waaaayyyy easier than I thought! Although I'm almost a boomer 😉 Watched your video once full length and two times with skipping to points of interest. Thanks for your effort. Great stuff! Greetings from Bavaria

@@MobiFlight is it normal with the heading bug working with an encoder in the sim but not to have the animated knob turning? or is there something I need to do?
I’m struggling with the other sim software getting it to work. I have tried MobiFlight but haven’t done so on a regular basis. It has advanced so much since I first got it that I feel I need to re-learn it. I really want it to work so I can get going on my projects! Thanks for all you do for us!
This is brilliant !!! Thanks a lot for this awesome tool!! Bought a better Hotas with much more buttons than normally and was searching for a way to use it with the autopilot. This option was not given by MSFS itself, hence this tool is insanely brilliant!
Guys, I adore you. You were able to give resources to make my dream come true. For a long time I could not make at least one switch work, but finally it worked. keep doing your thing ❤❤️🔥
Fantastic Video. Looking forward to more videos tackling difficult subjects such as using servo motor to make left/right fuel gauge for c172. Keep up the great work.
This is awesome. My wife has a Arduino Uno kit from Uni that goes unused. I've recently gotten into MSFS 2020. And I have a 3D printer. I'm definitely giving a simple setup a try tonight. If I'm successful, I'm gonna pick up a Mega and design a simple autopilot console.
@@MobiFlight I was able to get a simple LED and encoder working in like 20 minutes. Your application makes the process very very easy. Bravo. This has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. Definitely earned a subscribe from me.
Thank you for making this much easier and more user friendly. I fly Zibo and have a full-scale cockpit and it never really worked right. I am slowly switching things over to Mobiflight. I had no clue and still have no clue how to code so this is getting easier by the month. ( EXCITING). Keep it going! :>)
Intersting video! I myself have just bought the WinWing Airbus FCU and I would like to configure it to my FsLabs A320 and Aerosoft A330! I got a bit confused where you talked about "modules" what is a module in the mobiflight?
Cool presentation, powerful product. I tried the parking brake example, LED + switch, and it worked fine. So here's a question - does the MobiFlight PC application need to be running in the background, or is there a way to upload all the functionality to the Arduino board, so that the host computer running FS2020 wouldn't need an additional program when actually flying?
Hello, great stuff! I am interested in building the panels for DCS application, but I only noticed MSFS 2020, Xplane, and P3D options. Does it require a specific simulator to be in the drop-down menus in order for me to use Mobiflight to configure boards for use in DCS, or is this not possible at the moment? Thanks
Thank You Sebastian! Your videos are so inspirational, positive and easy to follow! Appreciate that! :) I am new user, even though I tried it some time ago, but did not have any modules at that time. Now (Using MF Ver10!) I have an X-touch Mini, and I followed this video using that unit, and it worked perfect! Just wonder why my Saitek Switch panel does not show up in Mobiflight? Do I have to load the Logitech Software for that to work? Thank you so much, and have great days! :)
The Saitek switch panel might not show because it might not present itself like a Joystick. Unfortunately I don't have one. But I have the Multi Panel from Saitek - i don't use it tbh, but maybe at some point i can integrate it too
@@MobiFlight Dear Sebastian, I know very many flight-simmers Use the Saitek panels, and would be more inclined to use Mobiflight if there was support for those. I Just found out via forums that SPAD.NEXT can access the Saitek series of hardware without even loading any drivers for them. You probably already know that, and I understand its a lot of hard work behind such a solution. Anyways, appreciate all you have done for the FltSim community, and looking forward to start using MF as well! :) Thanks! Dave,
I tried SPAD - gave up (im no dummy) is this easier ? I got the OCTAVI and really want some flexibility in MSFS and XPLANE ! like A320 cockpit and G3000 ? not clear how the TCS (touch screens) will play with Octavi .... thank you ! nice work !
Thank you so much for the work you have put in to creating Mobiflight and such good videos. As a complete newcomer to Mobiflight I have a question. What if I can’t find a preset for an event? For example, I fly the Cessna Longitude and I want to create a physical switch for the Standby Power switch, but I cannot find a preset for this. Am I doing something wrong?
Always check in "Generic" as I explained in the video. If you don't find it there either then you have to look it up yourself using the behavior model dialog (developer mode) or join our discord and ask there
Good question. priority at this point is not so high since there was not so much demand for it so far. But i had a look at the USB protocol of the Saitek panels lately and I recently added support for the Honeycomb Bravo. That means Mobiflight is prepared now to support other HId devices too
Can I use this for mapping LNAV and VNAV toggle to a joystick (hotas) which I bought? MSFS does not know command for LNAV neither VNAV so I cant assign it even if I use non homemade device :) Thanks.
Thank you for your tutorials. I have a question: When I have done the complete configuration and start MS flightsimulator, do I have to run Arduino IDE, Mobiflight and Simconnect in the background or is the Arduino Controller then working self-sufficient? Thanks for your great work.
O know MF does not support OLED displays, but is there any way to send something like raw information from MF to a board (via serial or i2C) and then on this another board make the arrengements for the OLED display?
@@MobiFlight fantastic thanks, have subscribed. Not started wiring of my PMDG 737-800 Sim and plan to use Mobiflight but the whole Arduino (or what would I use Leo Bodnar for instead) is a whole new learning journey
I just got started with flight simulator 2020. Very good video. Sebastian I am using Scott Vincent to display the gauges on a 2nd monitor. I am new to this. Is that what I should use ? what you recomend ?
You can use what you think helps making your flight sim experience better. At the moment Mobiflight doesn't offer software gauges yet. Last year I made a Proof of concept where I exposed the data from Mobiflight to a browser with software gauges. So in the future this will become a feature. At the moment the strength of Mobiflight is to build real physical hardware. You can build real gauges using stepper motors or servos. That's a lot of fun.
Enjoy your video very much! I play MS2020 and got a C172 Compass from SimMax and don't know how to configure it, (I did some configurations, when click the test button in MF, the compass wheel is turning, but when run the MS2020, the wheel didn't move though the flight sim value and output value is running fast in MF. Can you share how to setup it and thanks a lot.
Hello dear MobiFlight team, I bought this mini cockpit from Octavi and have been trying to establish a connection to MSFS or the Fenix A320 for a few days now. Unfortunately I haven't been assigned anything. Do you have a tip for me, or is there already a suitable script for this somewhere?
I am new to MobiFlight. I have MSFS2020 and am planing on a double seat 737-NG based on drawings of Karl Clarke of 737DIYSIM fame. Other than your recent videos is there some reading I need to do and then try various things e.g. switches, LED, etc.? Also what additional software other than MobiFlight do I need to download? I will be using Arduino.
hi sebastian im building my a320 fcu and efis using mobiflight (thanks for hard work and sharing) i can not figurit out how to conect an tm1637 display for QNH DISPLAY (is it not suported?) how can i display QNH?
Thank you for the video. But I've a problem with the 737-800 FD led Captaind and First officer. The code give 100% off. So the led goes on when the FD is off. How can I change that?
What do you recommend if I want to use a hardware not listed there, to receive data from FSX and draw a fully custom graphic, say my own attitude indicator? Do you have example of Arduino IDE code I can get started and write code on an arduino to receive data from FSX and have my hardware react to it? (say simple Serial.println() for now, to write whatever data is received from FSX, if I have that as a template I can code the rest). Thanks
Good afternoon, first of all congratulations for your work. I need help. I have built an overhead and wired and programmed with mobiflight. I have used 4 Mega R3 cards, but I don't know how to make all 4 work at the same time, both leds and buttons. There is a way. Thank you so much.
I'm new to this. Can you write VB or C code? Instead of arduino, does it work with Raspberry Pi? My point is instead of hardware switches, can I create app on Raspberry Pi.
you don't write any code when using mobiflight- arduino is the platform for the firmware. we have raspberry pico support. PI is a different platform and the firmware cannot be easily ported. At the moment it's not easily possible to integrate with Raspberry PI
hello good. I'm doing a QT of the 737. Complete. I would like to know if with Mobiflight I can get the presets for the A/T Throttle Lever and make the movement with some motors. I have searched and asked on Discord and they tell me that there are no presets for that.
Hello, I'm just getting started on this, if you don't mind I would like to ask you. I have an Arduino Uno with an atmega328p u-th 354730, is it compatible? Is the purpose of the program to act as firmware? I want to make a flight joystick, is it compatible with hall sensors or should I just use potentiometers? Is it compatible with other games like war thunder or DCS? Thank you so much
Arduino Uno is supported. Mobiflight uploads a firmware and makes the arduino configurable. You define what devices are connected to it and you can configure everything through Mobiflight. Watch the video and everything will make more sense.
@MobiFlight Hi Sebastian, and thanks so much for the clear and useful tutorial. I was unsure on how to approach MobiFlight, but after watching your video I'm confident I can make it 🙏 Still a couple of small doubts: for MSFS (and PMDG 737-800 in my case) I get that the variable type to use is SimConnect, while instead FSUIPC offsets are meant for P3D and DataRef are for X-Plane. But then what about the remaining type, MobiFlight variable? And also, in my configuration as above, does FSUIPC need to be installed or not? Thank you and kudos for your excellent work! Roberto
In most cases, you don't need FSuiPC for MSFS2020. MobiFlight is not using the native PMDG SDK at the moment. FSUIPC may allow you access to some datapoints fortnehme PMDG. you don't have to use a registered version though.
Thank you very much for the great contribution to the simulation, it is amazing. I have a problem with ARDUINO UNO. I assign the switches and they work very well but shortly after activating them, the ARDUINO UNO crashes, I reset it and it works again but it crashes again after using the switch. What could it be please?
Hello, thank you very much for responding. I solved it by changing to ARDUINO MEGA. But now when configuring heading I get 344 degrees in the HDG cockpit view, and in mobiflight Flight sim value 359.181976, and in Out put value 359.181976. I have tried some formulas in the transform option but I haven't found it@@MobiFlight
Guter tag Sebastian. It is very good that you started new tutorials 2023. There not much video tutorials for Mobiflight. Yesterday I broke my head doing servo tutorial from MB website and result is zero. Please let me know when gonna be new servo video tutorial with explanation of all parameter like input/output values, need external power or not and all others settings. Thank you for your job.
stream decks are not directly supported by mobiflight but there is a tool that builds on top of MF... github.com/nguyenquyhy/Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck/blob/main/docs/USERGUIDE.md not sure if it is still developed and maintained
Good time of the day, be kind, tell me this program works with DCS World , I 'm making a push - button box and I want to put three seven - segment indicators to receive information from the push - button box ? P.s Thanks in advance!!!!!
@@_plasticarmor_8789 what you actually could do is use vJoy to send button presses with MobiFlight to DCS and you can use Mobiflight variables to display data. It can be out of sync with DCS when you start using virtual switches in the cockpit - but if you only use your buttons then it can work
Hi Sebastian, thank you very much for your great videos. I would like to ask you a help with Fenix A320, I can't see on LCD the set height. The function FXNX320_ACTUAL_ALTITUDE_DISPLAY (A:INDICATED ALTITUDE,Feet) shows the height where the plane is. Thank you very much. Mark
@@MobiFlight The preset works, but I have the problem that I would like to see the altitude set via the encoder, instead the preset shows the altitude at which the aircraft is and the value goes up or down as the aircraft goes up or down. If I am at 5000 feet and I set 10,000 feet with the encoder, the preset will show 5001,5002,5003.....

@@MarkusPosch-wp5if but the message means that there is some problem with the file download from github which the installer tries to do. you probably have a some extra antivirus software, not just windows defender
@@MobiFlight Yep. FSX and P3D are obselete. I'ts requires also multiple connected computers and multiple licences for FSX or P3D. A lot of installing, calibrating, alignment software for multiple monitors. MSFS and X-plane are easier and users friendly if oy want to built a cockpit.

Do you have example of Arduino IDE code I can get started and write code on an arduino to receive data from FSX and have my hardware react to it? (say simple Serial.println() for now, to write whatever data is received from FSX, if I have that as a template I can code the rest). Thanks
you have to check the new custom device and boards feature - this will make it very easy now.
Good afternoon, first of all congratulations for your work. I need help. I have built an overhead and wired and programmed with mobiflight. I have used 4 Mega R3 cards, but I don't know how to make all 4 work at the same time, both leds and buttons. There is a way. Thank you so much.
you connect them at the same time and Mobiflight will see them and you can control everything through Mobiflight
hey 👍 great.
thanks for the feedback!
I'm new to this. Can you write VB or C code? Instead of arduino, does it work with Raspberry Pi? My point is instead of hardware switches, can I create app on Raspberry Pi.
you don't write any code when using mobiflight- arduino is the platform for the firmware. we have raspberry pico support. PI is a different platform and the firmware cannot be easily ported. At the moment it's not easily possible to integrate with Raspberry PI
hello good. I'm doing a QT of the 737. Complete. I would like to know if with Mobiflight I can get the presets for the A/T Throttle Lever and make the movement with some motors. I have searched and asked on Discord and they tell me that there are no presets for that.
What's an A/T Throttle Lever? You mean when the Throttles are managed by A/T mode? It is a closed system and not simple but people have built it.
Hello, I'm just getting started on this, if you don't mind I would like to ask you. I have an Arduino Uno with an atmega328p u-th 354730, is it compatible? Is the purpose of the program to act as firmware?
I want to make a flight joystick, is it compatible with hall sensors or should I just use potentiometers?
Is it compatible with other games like war thunder or DCS?
Thank you so much
Arduino Uno is supported. Mobiflight uploads a firmware and makes the arduino configurable. You define what devices are connected to it and you can configure everything through Mobiflight. Watch the video and everything will make more sense.
DCS is currently not supported
@MobiFlight
Hi Sebastian, and thanks so much for the clear and useful tutorial. I was unsure on how to approach MobiFlight, but after watching your video I'm confident I can make it 🙏
Still a couple of small doubts: for MSFS (and PMDG 737-800 in my case) I get that the variable type to use is SimConnect, while instead FSUIPC offsets are meant for P3D and DataRef are for X-Plane. But then what about the remaining type, MobiFlight variable? And also, in my configuration as above, does FSUIPC need to be installed or not?
Thank you and kudos for your excellent work!
Roberto
mobiflight variables are sometimes helpful when you locally want to store a variable, e.g. for a multi function based on a switch position.
In most cases, you don't need FSuiPC for MSFS2020. MobiFlight is not using the native PMDG SDK at the moment. FSUIPC may allow you access to some datapoints fortnehme PMDG. you don't have to use a registered version though.
Will this work with the flight Sim builder audio panel? I need a software that allows me to turn on the information lights
it's in the makes. Ping me on discord.
Can this software be used in conjunction with honeycomb yoke. Wanting a fix for the horrific trim behaviour in msfs, button press.
yes it can! the trim might be a bit weird too - BUT: I am working on an improvement
Thank you very much for the great contribution to the simulation, it is amazing. I have a problem with ARDUINO UNO. I assign the switches and they work very well but shortly after activating them, the ARDUINO UNO crashes, I reset it and it works again but it crashes again after using the switch. What could it be please?
sounds like it's shorting out and resetting
check your wiring again and make sure it's connected properly
Hello, thank you very much for responding. I solved it by changing to ARDUINO MEGA. But now when configuring heading I get 344 degrees in the HDG cockpit view, and in mobiflight Flight sim value 359.181976, and in Out put value 359.181976. I have tried some formulas in the transform option but I haven't found it@@MobiFlight
@danytovar5715 try Round($,0)
oh and what plane is that? there might be a special preset for it if it doesn't use the standard auto pilot HDG value
Will Mobiflight enable the MiniFCU to work with iniBuilds' A300?
yes! mobiflight users also get a 10% off mobiflight.com/minifcu
Make a video on how to configure the Throttle, Speed Brakes, Flaps and Reversos on the Xplane 12
Can this interface with DCS? Does it code as USB HID?
Mobiflight doesn't support DCS yet and it doesn't show as a USB HID either.
I connected the LED to the MEGA 2560 arduino. What configuration should I send to the Arduino so that it works normally?
like explained in the video. create an output config (output/led) and configure it, eg for the parking brake
Is it possible to link to Virpil and Elgato Streamdeck IO''s?
Guter tag Sebastian. It is very good that you started new tutorials 2023. There not much video tutorials for Mobiflight. Yesterday I broke my head doing servo tutorial from MB website and result is zero. Please let me know when gonna be new servo video tutorial with explanation of all parameter like input/output values, need external power or not and all others settings. Thank you for your job.
the next video is about troubleshooting, and then I can do another topic
@@MobiFlight Thanks a lot man
hello can mobiflight be used with Xplane 12 and Streamdeck XL? thx
stream decks are not directly supported by mobiflight but there is a tool that builds on top of MF... github.com/nguyenquyhy/Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck/blob/main/docs/USERGUIDE.md not sure if it is still developed and maintained
Good time of the day, be kind, tell me this program works with DCS World , I 'm making a push - button box and I want to put three seven - segment indicators to receive information from the push - button box ? P.s Thanks in advance!!!!!
Unfortunately DCS is not yet supported by MobiFlight
@@MobiFlight thank !!!!
@@_plasticarmor_8789 what you actually could do is use vJoy to send button presses with MobiFlight to DCS and you can use Mobiflight variables to display data. It can be out of sync with DCS when you start using virtual switches in the cockpit - but if you only use your buttons then it can work
Hi Can you use a multiplexer with mobiFlight?
Yes, that's possible. See github.com/MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector/wiki/Input-and-Output-devices#input-multiplexer
Super, Thank you
Thank you!
@@MobiFlight No, my brother thank you. You did the wonderful job.
Can you do tutorial about OLED display?
OLED displays are not yet supported, only the regular LcD screens are. But thanks for posting this, i want to make a video about custom devices
Hi Sebastian, thank you very much for your great videos. I would like to ask you a help with Fenix A320, I can't see on LCD the set height. The function FXNX320_ACTUAL_ALTITUDE_DISPLAY (A:INDICATED ALTITUDE,Feet) shows the height where the plane is.
Thank you very much.
Mark
you're saying the preset doesn't work?
@@MobiFlight The preset works, but I have the problem that I would like to see the altitude set via the encoder, instead the preset shows the altitude at which the aircraft is and the value goes up or down as the aircraft goes up or down.
If I am at 5000 feet and I set 10,000 feet with the encoder, the preset will show 5001,5002,5003.....
@@marcoity961 then you're using the wrong preset. you have to find one for the autopilot, not "actual"
@@MobiFlight I solved it by using FSUIPC7 Offset variables.
thank you for your time.
@@marcoity961 you should not require FSUIPC for Fenix at all.

How to use Stream Deck as input for MobiFlight?
at the moment that's not possible
Is the Arduino 33 BLE Sense supported? Its not being recognized.🙄🙏
No it is not. Why would you want to use a board that is specialized on built-in sensors for the home cockpit application?
Is the PC version of Aerofly FS4 also compatible?
nope
HI I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MOBIFLIGHT, I RECENTLY DOWNLOADED IT AND INSTALLED IT. I TRY TO OPEN A CERTAIN CONFIG I SAVED, BUT IT SAYS IT CAN NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE OF SYNTAX ERRORS, PLEASE HELP ME.

hi guys, i have followed this and i tried adding an encoder. It uploads to the board but then when i try to exit from the screen i get a message that the selected module does not contain any output device. I have restarted xplane, the board, Mobiflight ...I am using a Arduino Mega and pretty sure the encoder is wired up correctly. Not sure what i am doing wrong?
hi all please disregard
i guess you figured it out: encoders are input devices
Hello, I'd like to ask why the values are reset to 0 even I set it to 1 or 3 then saved it.
i am not sure what you mean - probably mobiflight variables - they are always initialized to 0 when you stop & run mobiflight

FSUIPC requires programming and script understanding skills. That's why it's better and easier not to use FSX or P3D
we also provide presets for FSUIPC which helps to get started. in general though you're right - it's easier for msfs2020 and xplane
@@MobiFlight Yep. FSX and P3D are obselete. I'ts requires also multiple connected computers and multiple licences for FSX or P3D. A lot of installing, calibrating, alignment software for multiple monitors. MSFS and X-plane are easier and users friendly if oy want to built a cockpit.
La página Mobiflight no funciona 😞
that was just a temporary glitch. Sorry!
@@MobiFlightpor favor 🙏 algún tutorial en español

flight sim value - 0. Why?
it's the default value for any value. maybe the preset doesn't work as expected.
This could easily be a 5 minute video. Unnecessary amount of word salad.
