My Mobiflight software is freezed randomly, then I can not exit Mobiflight even using Task Manager to end task. I need to Log Out or Restart my PC to let Mobiflight work again. But it still happen issue repeatedly. I connect 6 Arduino Mega 2560 to Mobiflight.

Was this solved?
Suggest you try disconnecting your boards and testing. If the issue disappears, try connecting one at a time and retesting.

I has tried and issue may come from power supply of USB hub, when connect 3 boards, there's no problem. But when I connect 4 boards, problem come back. Now I temporarily disconnect some USB port on PC mainboard to plug Mobiflight boards to those. I think power from USB hub is mainly related to Mobiflight issue freeze. Because when it freeze, I just try to unplug USB hub cable from PC mainboards, then Mobiflight can exit. I may need to find more powerful USB hub with external power supply.

you mean your usb hub was without external power?

#

Please don't do that. An unpowered USB hub has to divide the 500mA that the PC allows through its connecting port, among all the boards you connect.

#

That is a good recipe for failure.
