Hi everybody,

i use a new Spirit GTR with WiFi Link module.
Problem, the WiFi module is blinking blue and booting. Wifi Network is available
for a short time 5< seconds. Then WiFi is off and module is blinking blue and maybe booting again.
Im not able to open the ip adress.
Is it damaged or any idea how to fix this.

Thank you.

Hello,

have you tried connecting to the network with other device? For example smartphone?
There could be a problem that your home network could be at the same wifi channel. Could you retry it at a position further from your home wifi router?
Do you have by chance other power source to try? What is your BEC voltage?

Hello,
thank you for your answer. It test it with mac, iphone and windows pc. Switch of the wifi network in house.
Test it with diffrent voltages from 6-8V with dc power supply. Always the same. Its blue blinking, wifi is coming and going.
Not able to get a stable network form the Spirit network. I update the Spirit GTR to 3.72 wit usb cable and test the wifi abdapter again.
And not working. The wifi adapter is getting a little bit warm ,not hot. It needs with GTR and no servo round about 230mAh.

I use other Spirit WiFi adapter in helicopters with no problem.

Thanks

Are you sure that you have Wifi-Link module and not the Spirit-Link (BT)?

Are you sure you have it plugging into Spirit correctly.
I only ask as it's easy to over look. I've done it myself.
Sounds like the power lead is connected correctly or the blue light wouldn't be on. The other one is orientated to the top and middle pin of the sys port
