[SOLVED] Dual sat with geolink

[peter-]

Where do I plug in my second spektrum satellite when I'm using geolink with the Spirit pro?

You gonna have to buy the spektrum satelite adapter or spektrum multi adapter from the spirit E-shop and the manual/product page will tell you where to plug it in on the spirit pro.
You can use up to 3 sats on the pro if you are using geolink.
Hope this helps.

So this:

or this:

right?

I can't just change my jst plug on the satalite to a servo plug and then put it into the aux port?

no, the satellite works at 3,3V while on AUX (and the other connectors) you have the direct BEC voltage
5V or higher, depends on your BEC

the adapter contains the right hardware to lower the voltage to 3.3V

Thanks..

So I got the cable, but can’t get it working using the rud port.

The satellites don’t even light up when they are connected to the adapter cable. Should I set something up in the software or what?

Is it possible to use the adapter cable for the geolink instead? I tried that as well, but it doesn’t see nor power up the geolink..

have you connected it correctly ?

I don’t have the multi adapter, just the single 1 sat adapter..

It does say though: Before usage please bind satellites that are intended to be connected to the adapter through primary and secondary ports.

Does this mean that I must connect my two satalites to the side ports when I bind, and then use the adapter in the rud port afterwards?

But what if I want to use 3 satalittes?

What port is the primary port?

YES

then you need the multi adapter
>> Cable for connecting up to 3 Spektrum satellites with Spirit and up to 4 satellites with Spirit Pro unit.
of course if you use the geo-link, you subtract 1 from these numbers

What port is the primary port?

if you read throughly the manual, the info are all available

here you can see the geolink connected to secondary port of spirit pro
(the only unit that actually have primary and secondary satellite port)
the other port is the primary


here another pic that is very clear ( from the wiki manual )

Many thanks, I’ll try it in a couple of weeks. I just realized that one of my satalites seems to have broken although it bonds correctly and everything. When I remove my working satalites I can only control my elevator servo.

I also have a TM1000 telemetry unit that I will be using. Does anyone know if this can communicate with the spirit system in terms of data logging? As of right now I’m just powering it through my aux port.

Would be cool if I could use my rpm sensor as a gov as well...

Kind Regards,
Peter
