Hello, I did the Beginner workshop at FS Weekend.
But the LED 1 isnt working, LED 2 does. I have tried to move it to LED 3 and LED 6 but can't get the light to come on.

Hmm, this is unfortunate. Lets try to sort this out.
We need to try to narrow down where the problem is. When looking at the button/led wiring, can you take a picture of it, and see if there is anything obviously different between those two?

It is on but it’s very dim, this I without any running. It is just stuck with the light on

hmm, are you still at FSWeekend today? You could come to the booth and we can have a look.
Are any of the wires or the pins touching each other near the switch?

I wonder if the connectors are mixed around since the switch and the led are both two wires.Looking at the photo, both switches are the same way around, so you could turn the other button so that the marked black wired are on the outside edges like the arrow shows
then those were the led wires if you follow the black wires on both pins marked yellow if I remember correctly.
My current assumption is that those two pin connections got mixed up, and the LED connector is connected to the Button connector, and the button connector is connected to the LED connector maybe?

I also realized we actually accidentally uploaded a wrong variant of the arduino configuration after the workshop, so here is a corrected one you can download to your computer:
And to upload the correct configuration, you can
- open the MobiFlight Modules window from the toolbar,
- select your MobiFlight Mega from the list on the left side
- click on the "Open" button on the small toolbar, marked with yellow:
and browse to find the file you downloaded. To check that you have the correct file, see that you have correctly Button 1 and Button 2 on the list.
And the important last step: Click the "Upload config" button to write the new pin information to the board.

@gentle river did you get this resolved?
I actually had the exact same problem in the Sunday beginner workshop and it was indeed the led connected to a button connector.
This gave us good feedback: we need to mark the led connectors with a colored piece heatshrink tube or something similar.
