Hello,

got problem to connect wifi.
I bought the new one instead of my old BT-Module to get Spirit Unit Update also via Wifi in future.
But I can't connect to Wifi. Try out different WiFi on Macbook, iMac, iPad Pro and Android mobile phone, all from home.
Blue light is flashing slow.
I also watched YT Video from Yufasa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzi0oGUc7NI.
In general, I can't see any network Spirit Wifi-Link ... in any way.
But the module seems to work, because BT-Connection on Android cell is working.

On detailed search here in forum I also found this thread:
https://www.spirit-system.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5132&hilit=Wifi+Link
Maybe I have to flash the module?

Setup/Firmware:
Spirit II / 3.4.3
new Spirit-Link (BT+Wifi) on Sys and AUX1 (DC-Power) / 3.4.1 Spirit App on MacBook and iMac
RX PPM on RUD
Powered System up with 6S LiPo on ESC, BEC Voltage 7,2V

Hello,

the Spirit-Link (BT) you bought is not replacement for Wifi-Link at the moment.
It is replacement for Bluetooth module.

In the future we will release firmware that will replace Wifi-Link modules.
It will be upgraded by Wifi.

So at the moment it should not work by Wifi.

Thank you for info.

So this means against your product description, Wifi will not work right now because it have to be activated by firmware update in future?
It would be nice, if there is a hint to that point in the description in your shop.
I bought it specifically for the reason that it should already be able to do both.

Best regards

Ah ok.
Sorry, then it is my mistake. Didn't read topic 9 as I placed my order. Just was happy, that one module can handle both.
So I will wait for firmware update.

Have a nice day.

Best regards
