    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Hi all, Not sure if anyone is watching this thread but it's useful for me to keep track of what's going on and as a memory jogger when I break off for any reason. I think that I'd benefit from some input from 'davidbitton' as it seems to be that he's been successful with his...

    Computer Black-outs

    Hi Randy/Rob, Seems to be two issues here both of which interest me. I also have experienced similar 'Blackouts' and will look into your suggestions. The video/HDMI cable item also seems like something I should look into but the item doesn't seem to be complete. Did I miss something on this issue?

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Yet another update... I still don't trust the GeoLink enough to take off and risk making the switch in the air as suggested by Spirit. They even say to activate only one feature at a time 'Carefully'. I'm not sure how to activate a switch carefully, however, my interpretation means not to rush...

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Latest update, lot's of other stuff going on so my progress has been slowed down but I can say that I'm ready to do a test flight of my 550E now fitted with the v2 GeoLink module. I did a lot of work on my original v1 module fitted to the V-R 880 in its new guise since rebuilding it as a custom...

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    Hi all, I can now report that I've successfully programmed a working solution to the 'Return to Home' feature of the GeoLink :arms: Thanks are due to a member of the Spirit Forum and the Jeti Support Team. Both sources gave me enough feedback to inspire my thought processes. I'll gladly share...

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Hi all, it's been a long and frustrating road but thanks to input from various sources, I've now managed to successfully configure a satisfactory control means for the 'Return to Home' feature of the GeoLink. Next steps will be extending the configured features and tidying up my transmitter to...

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Hi again, I'm hoping that my stable connection continues after purchasing a new Interface USB cable. My thread continues with a request to all interested members to make suggestions about the switching protocols for the GeoLink features. All input much appreciated.

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    Hi again, it's been a long road with other stuff to do in between as well. My problems with an unstable connection returned to really get on my nerves and I scouted around for other sources of inspiration. I was advised by one reliable contact to go for using another laptop/PC as a quick means...

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    Celebrating a successful testing session at the field. Channel 8 now gives me the 'Stabi' functions and channel 7 is the 'Banks' (Flight Modes). 'Bank 0' is primarily the take-off and landing channel where I can also fly with the benefits of the GeoLink module. I'm setting up to install the v2...

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    Hi all, my 'mini-project' has turned into a major project mainly due to my own rusty memory on some of the stuff and what for me has been a challenge to track down and understand the Spirit instructions (on-line or hard copy). They seem to have created a monster that needs their constant input...

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    Hi all, a quick update having spent some frustrating time going round and round trying to remember how to add channels. It doesn't actually tell you how to do this in the manual that I've been able to find. The key is not to let yourself get locked into the process to the point where you just...

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Hi all, given the amazing opportunity to share the challenges of our hobby, I include a link below to another thread, which is the logical place to further explore a working solution to my Spirit GeoLink problem. It's the challenge facing anybody with this and possibly other high-tech devices...

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    I'm not suggesting that members don't want to contribute. I'm also not expecting that they might be able to tell me exactly how I should tackle the challenge. I will get there eventually. I'm always extremely grateful for the opportunity to correspond as quite often ideas come onto the table...

    Other Beyond 8 Channels (Jeti DC-14)

    Hi again, This thread has gone unanswered, I can't believe that there isn't someone out there to engage in a dialogue that will help out. I'm looking for base principals, so anybody with multi-channel/multi-switching knowledge will be capable of good advice. These are probably aeroplane pilots...

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Tx. is now upgraded so progressing slowly. I think that I've got the switching of the GeoLink captured after downloading their text and translating the English into real English. SpiritPro seems to be a bit more elusive. I can't even find the text to start with.

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Excellent news! Go carefully forwards now. I couldn't get a consistent heading from my iPhone's compass and bought a new analogue one. I made an adjustment of minus one degree to correct the deviation from 90Degrees original calibration. I got a message warning me not to interrupt the...

    OK, good luck with your quest. I'm in their time zone but I'm still not getting quick feedback from them. I only got a response via someone else's thread.

    Misc. Spirit GeoLink Problem

    Hi David, Randy was going through a whole host of stuff to help out on the PC side of things. I'm sure that my laptop needed some serious attention so now I'm able to concentrate on getting the module working. Have you run through my list of checks as per my suggestions? I just picked up my v2...
