Hello Spirit specialist
I got a used Spirit Pro inclusive Wifi module .
Unfortunately, I can not connect with my tablet or PC .
I connected only the Wifimodul and the power supply ( 4.8V battery ) .
If I now in the Android App click Connect I receive the following status :
Connecting
Connected
Disconnected
And then the message " Spirit Unit not found"
What can I do to make a connection ?
Since I have no connection , I can not comment on the firmware .
I have no USB Interface
Thanks for your help

Have you connected your phone to the spirit wifi module's wifi network? You'll find it in your phone wifi connection settings usually named something like SPIRIT-Xxxxx where xxxx a unique code for your module.
If you have and it still doesn't work can you open your web browser and go to 192.168.4.1 and see if the page is displayed?

No worries. Can you take a picture of how it's connected to the unit? Probably it's not hooked up properly.

Sure the App is not trying to connect with Bluetooth? The device in the Connection screen should be something like "WIFI [192.168.4.1]".

What version of the SW is spirit running? Also what's the version of the FW of the wifi module? You can see that in the wifi homepage in your browser.
The unit is plugged in properly.

Hello,
is the same power supply (battery) connected also to the unit?
When you power up the unit, can you see initialization procedure - pulsating status LED?
This should take a few seconds and then LED should be ON all the time.
You have to wait until the initialization is complete, then it should just work.
Your connection seems to be correct.
In the Wifi-Link Spirit Settings it should work immediately, if version in the unit is also 2.1.0.
If not, it should still connect and you will see error message "Version mismatch".
Also Android app will tell you if there is a wrong version. So definitively it should connect.
Are you sure that the original owner didn't sold you damaged unit?
Each unit has USB interface, so there is no reason why he didn't sold it as well.
