Spirit System

Hi,

I have 3 Spirit Pros on 3 different helis. I am using an SPM4649T on each to integrate with my DX9. All 3 of them have problems entering the menu. Sometimes (very rarely) one will just work and I can change and save settings OK. Next flight, and many subsequent flights, I am unable to enter the menu, it won't respond at all to the stick commands to open.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers

Is the telemetry working all the time even when integration does not work?

I have the same problem with the same setup and i find that if ESC telemetry is not working so the intergration does not work also,
If ESC telemetry works, Intergration works also. This is happenimg on 2 different helicopters with same setup....

Interestingly it is happening just with DX9. We will have to contact Spektrum to clear the things.

No, after some testing (I am not using ESC telemetry on 2 out of 3 of the models) I can see that telemetry is not working (no throttle or output % on ESC page). However, the DX9 shows telemetry is connected ok and if I disconnect my sats so that only the SPM4649T is connected the heli works as expected (swash and tail move ok).

If I get telemetry working ok after several power off/ons of the Spirit and the tx, then I can access the menu.

I've done a bit more testing. It just appears random. Probably less than half the time it will work. The other times (after powering off both the tx and Spirit) it will work. If it doesn't work, I get no telemetry, either. I tried once when it didn't work just powering the tx off/on for a few cycles. No luck. I powered off the Spirit again, and then it worked.

Airware version on the DX9 is 2.00.
Spirit Pro version is 2.6.1.
I *think* SPM4649T firmware version is V1.1.10.

I run dual DSMX sats and the SPM4649T, all directly off the Spirit. I am not using ESC telemetry (Hobbywing) because I don't want to loose a sat. I *am* running ESC telemetry on another heli (Castle) and this one appears to be working right now.

EDIT - The 3rd heli with Castle telemetry is doing the same thing.

Thank you! You can try to unplug all Spektrum satellites and try SPM4649T alone.

I couldn't get it to fail with no sats attached. Or with one. When I added the 2nd sat, it failed first time. What does this mean?

Is there any further advice on this? Thanks.
