Hello all, hello Tomas !
I have an weird problem - I have updated the firmware from 2.6.4.4 to 2.70 since that I have an problem of Receiver Signal Lost - I must say that I was not flying and the heli was posed on the workbench near my transmitter - After the update I disconnected the Software and the battery. I reconnected the battery and the Spirit Pro initialsises but not in the normal way (up and down) - the swashplate tilted in elevator direction. Then I looked as usual in the Log-File, there was an entry of Receiver Signal Lost ? After looking at the Logfile I closed it and as usual I closed the the software and disconnected the battery - I thought that by the next initialisation the problem wouln't occur again - But the same behavior as before - At this time the power supply came out of my brushless regulator - Then I thought maybe its a problem of the regulator and took an independently battery source of 7,2 V 1800mAh - but the same behaviour as before - Then I thought maybe the servos ate defective ? Then I unplug all servos but the same behavior as before - Then I was going in the software and looked in the logfile (Receiver Signal Lost) as eyery time - I closed the logfile and after that I opened the logfile again the swashplate initialisates ? After that behavior I go a second time in the log and saw that an new Receiver Signal Lost entry was in the logfile ! I found out that all two times of opening the logfile the swashplate initialisises and an Receiver Signal Lost enty was crated in the logfile. This behavior is reproducable all the time. After that I thought maybe it could help to go back to the previous frimware but that doesn't work also - finally I made an bec test - The test works problem-free (Good health).
I don't know what to do that this works again - With this behavior I can not fly this heli - any help is welcome !
In the attachment I give some hardcopys of the logfiles, maybe a little chaotic :lol:

We found the issue and we are very sorry for the troubles.
The problem ocurred with only some units and only with Spektrum satellite receiver type.
It was a false event when loading the log, not affecting anything else.

The problem was present also in 2.6.4, so very likely you were using 2.6.3 or older version previously.

Please flash this firmware to fix the issue:

Hello Tomas,

I have an Spirit Pro with two Spektum Satellites in this configuration, I think after flashing with the new firmware I haven't any problems more - I will send you an answer if that worked for me too - Thanks a lot for your outstanding service !

Best Regards
Matthias
