Spirit Pro flashing - Geolink without function

Erich · Tue 02. Jun 2020 17:13:47

Hi,
after initialisation the Spirit starts flashing. As a result of this there is no Geolink function. I have 2 Spirit Pro with Geolink and the problem occurs on both. After reconnecting the power it works sometimes. If i try it 10 times it works well 2 times; on the second unit if i try 10 times it will work 5 times.
Even with flashing Spirit i can fly without any problem, except the Geolink is not working. The upgrade to FW 3.1 and 1.2 had no influence.
In the Log is no entry - except once - the message was " Geolink Data corrupted".
Any idea whats wrong?

Hi,

isnt flashing just result of not closing the Spirit Settings or integration properly?

Spirit unit is flashing when you open the settings. This is very normal behavior to show you, the unit is in the configuration mode.
And you should close it before flight.

Hi,
I do Not try to configure the Unit. I Only connect the Accu to the heli and wait until the Blue light from Geolink is stabile. After a few seconds the Spirit Unit Starts flashing.

In this case I guess something is very wrong, probably regarding wiring.

Can you disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and try again?

Yesterday i checked all cables. There is nothing do disconnect, except telemetry cable, which i need. After that check i tried power on/off several times.
On one heli everything worked fine. Now i am confused.
On the second heli i still have the same problem. Especially when i hit the switch do set the current GPS position. After power reconnect sometimes it worked fine. With this heli i had weeks ago a crash. Now i found on the Geolink is a small haircut in the area where the plug is. What else can i do?
