Today I have some trouble with my Geolink:
There are programmed only two options, RTH and Altitude Limit.
On the second flight Geolink lost the satellites, the blue LED flash very fast like it do during compass calibration. I turned the Heli around and around the LED flashs later
in the right way of calibration. I reconnect the power. Geolink find the satellites the LED doesn't flash anymore, the LED glows.
During the third fly, Geolink lost the satellites once again, no Altitude Limit and no RTH function is given.
Do you have any idea whats happend?

Hello,

I am afraid that this issue does not mean that satellites were lost.
Please check this:

I would like to ask you if you have a belt on the model?

Also you could try Clear all logs from the GeoLink in the Spirit Settings.

Hello Tomas,

I can see 3 series of fast flashing blinks while powering up the GeoLink. Because of this I try to calibrate the compass function once more, but it doens't work. I've turned the heli for a while arround and arround nothing happens. Next problem: The spirit software didn't connect the geolink. I would try to start the compass calibration manual with a click of the button, no chance to connect.
Yes, my Heli have a belt..... Voodoo 600.
I can't clear all logs, no connection to geolink .

Hello Tomas,

Today in the morning I try to calibrate the compass once more. After many turns arround and arround the Geolink flashs suddenly in the right way.
In the afternoon I went outside to my flightground to test the Geolink functions. During a flight with the second accu, Geolink switch automatically
in the compass calibration mode. No RTH or Altitude Limit was possible. After a new compass calibration all functions work very well again.
I don't know what happens or why does it happen. Do you have an explanation?
