Hello,
I have mount for test a Spirit Pro with Geolink on a Trex500xt.
Spirit is in firmware 3.0.0 and Geolink is in firmware 1.1.0
Radio Futaba T18MZ, Receiver Futaba 7008SB Fasttest, connected in Sbus to the Spirit.
Channel 1 Throttle unassigned (Connected directly to the receiver).
Channel 2 Aileron - Channel 3 Elevator - Channel 4 Rudder - Channel 5 Gyro Gain.
Channel 6 Pitch - Channel 7 Bank - Channel 8 Stabi
I only use Bank 0 and I configure Stabi to Coaxial Mode. That's work.
The problem is when i try to activate a function of Geolink ...
I specify that the Geolink is calibrated and it display where i am in MAP View.
BUT when i try to activate one of the function : Postion Hold, Altitude Hold or Return to Home
via a switch on the Channel 9 ... nothing happens ...
And worse if I release this switch Channel 9, I'm not coming back to Stabi mode !
If anyone can advise me ... thank you

Spirit falsch konfiguriert.Den wenn du Schalter aktivierst,muss im Geo die Aktivierung oder Schalterstellung sichtbar sein.

Hello,
No the Geolink is correctly configured.
In Diagnostic, switch channel 8 => stabilisation coaxial active and switch channel 9 => Geolink active (Pos Hold)
When I active Pos Hold nothing happen and then when I deactivate Pos Hold => Stabilisation coaxial is out !!!
So what can I try to solve this problem ?

Hello,

are you trying these features at home?
I recommend to try anywhere outside.

Also you can check if you can see GeoLink feature engaged at the Diagnostic tab (nothing else should be engaged).

Hello Zex,
You tell me (nothing else should be engaged)
I suppose when one geolink feature is engaged !
It's OK ?
So stabi mode + geolink does not work together ?
And if it's true, i have to deactivate first stabi mode before activate a geolink feature ?
Thank you to clarify
