Hi,

I have one of the original spirit Flybarless gyros from November 2014, I have it in an Align TREX500 and have just added a Geolink to the setup. I have everything configured but I keep getting the Geolink disconnecting and reconnecting virtually continuously every few seconds. When connected by Bluetooth I see at the bottom of the Geolink screen the following message when I press the Geolink Module option. "Connection with the Geolink is unstable" The Geolink has been calibrated and I have checked my configuration, all seems to be okay. The blue light on the unit stays solid throughout once it has acquired the satellites. There is no indication in the logs of any problem with the geolink.

Please advise me of how to proceed to get this working properly, I do not want to fly it when there obviously is a problem with the connection

Verify you have Firmware 2.6.1 in the Spirit and 1.0.2 in the Geo Link.

You are talking about Bluetooth module, is the issue present also with USB interface?

Yes i have the issue with the usb interface, only when i go into the geolink tab, i normally just reboot the spirit a couple of times, i didn't take much notice until i saw this post. I have a new grey unit.

Here is a link to a video of the USB link connecting and disconnecting, I apologise for the focus issues.
