- Everything is logged seemlessly to a dedicated Memory chip.
- All variables can be logged at 1 - 50 Hz rate.
- Automatic PowerUp counter with one User counter.
- Even 8000 logs can fit in the memory!
- All ESC telemetry and GeoLink module variables can be logged too.
- Each log can be debugged and examined carefully.
- Memory Usage can be checked at any moment.
- When memory is full, logs are automatically erased. Logging then continue without interruption.
- Logging is started automatically once a rotor will start spinning.
- Support for Saving and Loading the Log Files.
- Demo mode allow to View saved Log Files.
- New Rescue and Stabilisation engaging options:
- From now it is possible to engage rescue and stabilisation modes directly with assigned channel.
- It is possible to engage all modes without usage of Bank Switching.
- Simplified setup can help to configure Rescue and Stabilisation in two steps:
- Assign F: Rescue or F: Stabilisation in the General/Channels.
- Choose Selected by Channel in the Stabi/Function parameter.
- Support for TBS CrossFire protocol:
- From now Spirit Pro, Spirit 2 and Spirit GT can use native CRSF protocol!
- It is recommended to use AETR channel layout in the radio.
- More details will be revealed at the CRSF Wiki page.
- Use 4-pin cable for Wiring with receiver.
- Do not forget to set CRSF TX and CRSF RX pins in the receiver - Default receiver configuration.
- Graupner HoTT ESC telemetry support:
- Brand new telemetry with Graupner ESCs even without HoTT receivers.
- Please use ESC firmware with EAM - Electric Air Module.
- Use JST-Servo cable without RED wire. It should be connected at the SAT1 port in the Spirit units.
- New HobbyWing Platinum v5 ESC telemetry:
- Full support for HobbyWing Platinum v5 ESC telemetry.
- See wiring and settings at the Wiki page.
- Added full support for FrSky F.BUS protocol:
- New support for F.BUS protocol that carry telemetry and integration in one cable.
- Possibility to connect F.BUS compatible telemetry sensors.
- Support is available for Spirit Pro, Spirit 2, Spirit GT.
- Wiring for Spirit Pro and Spirit 2 require FrSky integration cable.
- Wiring can be found in our F.BUS guide.
- Full JETI radio integration:
- From now you can use very same integration that you know from Helicopters.
- All model settings can be configured easily from your radio.
- Configuration is available from Device Explorer. JETIBOX integration is deprecated now.
- Spirit Aero BIN file must be downloaded from our web page to make it work.
- Improved support for FrSky F.PORT protocol:
- Support was added also for microSpirit, Spirit Pro and Spirit 2.
- Wiring can be found in our F.Port guide.
- Improved support for FrSky S.PORT telemetry and integration:
- Improved support with some FrSky ACCESS receivers.
- Avoiding telemetry lost messages.
- Support for 24 channel JETI EX BUS protocol:
- JETI radios can enable 24 channel mode from now.
- It will work correctly in the same way as with a standard mode.
- Support for Instant boot with recent Spirit units:
- New feature that will allow instant booting after Flashing (apply for updates from version 1.7+). Unit will boot up without waiting.
- When unit will loss voltage for short time it is able to fully recover instantly when flying enhancing safety.
- Spirit GT and Spirit GTR: Improved safety when unit is hit by a very strong static dischage. In this case unit is able to recover when flying avoiding crash.
- GeoLink v2 support:
- You can use GeoLink v2 modules with Spirit Aero from now.
- New GeoLink firmware updating:
- All GeoLink modules can be updated easily directly from the Spirit Settings without downloading any file.
- Firmware can be selected from the List and then you can press the Flash button.
- Rescue (Automatic) mode:
- Automatic rescue mode is fully supported with Spirit GT and Spirit GTR units.
- Please verify correct operation in high altitude to observe how model will react.
- JETI telemetry update:
- New telemetry variable S GPS Lat and S GPS Lon for showing GPS position.
- Telemetry variables are sent with a higher refresh rate.
- S Altitude is showing current altitude also when model is not flying.
- New telemetry variable S GPS Sats for displaying GNSS/GPS active satelite number from GeoLink.
- FrSky telemetry update:
- New telemetry variable GPS for showing GPS position available from GeoLink module.
- GAlt is showing current altitude also when model is not flying.
- GSpd is showing current speed obtained from GeoLink module.
- HoTT telemetry update:
- New telemetry variable Altitude for showing current Altitude available from GeoLink module or Spirit GT/GTR pressure sensor.
- Altitude is showing current altitude also when model is not flying.
- New telemetry variable showing BEC voltage as Pressure [GAM] when using ESC telemetry.
- New telemetry variable showing Vibration Level as Temp2.
- New telemetry variable showing Flight Speed from GeoLink module as Speed.
- Updated SRXL2 support:
- Support for SRXL2 was improved in case of poor signal quality.
- Receivers/satellites are switched faster in case of lost signal.
- Fixed problem where secondary satellite was not working in some cases.
- Spirit Settings - Linux support:
- Improved support for Linux distributions where QT4 library is installed.
- Spirit Settings - Mac OSX Big Sur+:
- Users of Big Sur and more recent will properly see active Tab Labels now.
- GeoLink - ISP coordinates:
- Coordinates are obtained from different provider which will improve reliability.
No need to change any parameter after update from version 1.6.
