1. Does a Spirit Pro require the special cable for the SPort connection? I read where the Pro unit doesn't require the special inverter cable for SBus<<< which I did buy! but I did realize that there was another one for SPort.

2. I purchased the Wifi-Link module and downloaded the Android app for my phone.. I plugged the unit in to the Spirit Pro per instructions, Tx/Rx in to SYS, and the + - power cable into AUX2 as shown in the photo.. I get a blue light on the Wifi-Link but my phone doesn't have the Spirit Wifi-Link on the list of available networks? Now What?

1. Spirit Pro require just simple servo cable for the S-Bus connection. Please note, that SPort is different protocol (for telemetry) - there if you want OpenTX integration, you need the FrSky Integration cable.

2. The Wifi-Link module should be in the list immediately after powerup - even with just power lead connected. When LED is flashing it should be detectable for all WiFi devices (including notebooks, tablets, smart tv, ...).
It should be in the list where you can normally find Wifi access points (not Wifi direct).

Ok ZeX.. I will have to order the integration cable... on the Wifi-Link.. the unit started blink when I plugged it in again, but now there is another issue.. when I try to connect I get a message: "Firmware in the unit is for airplane models. You have to flash Spirit firmware for helicopters" This is the only Spirit app in the Play Store... build: 03.03.2017 ... where getting close!! Any idea's?

Thanks, Bob

EDIT: I just discovered that if the Tx and Rx cable is plugged into the Spirit on power up the Wifi module comes on with a solid blue light... if I power it up with the cable disconnected the module comes on with the blue light flashing, I can the connect the Rx/Tx cable and the unit is broadcasting, is this normal behavior?

For the Android App, search "Spirit Aero" in the Play Store.
