MobiFlight Connector How does it work
The Mobiflight Connector is the user interface to using and configuring Mobiflight. The main purpose of this application is to intelligently connect with your arduino supported boards via their serial port connection on one end, to the flight simulation software on the other end, and be able to send and receive data to and from both the simulation and to the arduino boards. In this way, you can read the status of the airplane, display it, operate knobs, buttons, and toggle switches and send these commands back to the simulator to control the aircraft without using the mouse.
Hardware Management
Your physical control input and output devices: buttons, switches, knobs, potentiometer, leds, 7-segment display modules, etc, are connected to the Arduino micro-controller. These micro-controllers run the Mobiflight firmware to communicate with MFConnector. This firmware is a specially developed Arduino sketch that can talk to a variety of supported devices and relay that information to your PC. We call these boards that have the Mobiflight firmware installed: "Mobiflight Modules".
The MFConnector is capable of detecting supported boards connected to your PC, uploading the Mobiflight firmware to them, as well as uploading the user-defined device configuration to be used.
