Spirit System

I reported this on FB group, but it vanishes there after some time...

Running "logviewer.lua" sometimes shows log from "previous" flight (if there was any error). And it's not possible to clear this log and see logs from current flight. It should normally show "previous" log and clear it at the same time, so you can see further logs from next flights. But it does not work. It will keep showing "previous" flight forever.

The only way to clear it is to connect heli to the PC. Which is of course not possible in the field.

This problem is really serious. It made me maiden 3 helis this year having no logging at all, because it was always showing some "previous" log, made on the bench, when testing failsafe or similar.

I forgot to say I have latest software and script versions. And this happens on Spirit II, Spirit GT and Spirit Pro.

Easiest way to get into the problem is to leave backup power (I use 1st buffer capacitors) on after flight. This will cause a lot of errors logged by Spirit at the end (receiver lost, low voltage, backup oscilator used... tons of them). And it will kill logging, because it will now always show "previous" flight log all the time.

Hello,

thank you for your report.
We are looking into it.
It seems some radios are not calling Lua functions in the same way.

We will be releasing new firmware update this week with solution hopefully for all radios.

Great to know, thx.

If there's anything I could help on LUA side let me know, I did quite some scripts there. But it sounds like a change in firmware is needed..

@Thomas

Was it updated in 3.4.0?

I installed it on one of my helis which was struggling with some blocked "previous" log which didn't want to go away.
And after update it was still showing it all the time. It didn't get cleared no matter how many times I view it.
When I connected to PC, I got message below and the log got cleared.
I didn't update LUA scripts because there isn't any update on the web page for these.
