until now I had geolink deactivated but it was connected with the cable.
and I had no errors
I activated geolink yesterday and I received communication errors with geolink.
They are not real errors they are errors that occur when you turn it on or off
when it's about to turn on or when it's about to turn off
but these errors every now and then they turn me off geolink functions.
Connect the helicopter activate the geolink ((do compass calibration etc) and after flies normally.
Then turn off helicopter and go in the pc software spirit and see if you have connection errors with the geolink.
Another thing go in geolink-info and check it out if lifting the helicopter with your hands Barometer height is accurate (for this test use a usb extension) It's super accurate to me.
If you have an unstable geolink connection error all geolink functions will be deactivated.
If you have opened pdf files in the past all pdf files are saved and you can put them here in the topic
OP mentioned this was the on the 4th flight of the same day, If there was a connection issue from the GeoLink to the Spirit then the failsafe/fallback will be something like levelling mode? Could be a flyaway same to what happens to a drone, One solution for flyaways back in the days using pixhawk was having two gps modules cross checking each other. But for a heli would be an overkill which is meant to be flown near to the pilot. If I'm correct the Geolink makes use of something like a ublox m8n? so making use of multiple satellite positioning networks and not just GPS. could it be that it was switching from one to another network?another possibility could be a static discharge from the tail boom to the wire connecting the Geo and the GTR. Were you able to switch off RTH and you regained full authority, but it was to visibly far away to orient it back?
the geolink he did it to me
I have activated altitude limit and it worked well
I went down to the height and altitude limit it activated well for two times the third time altitude limit turned off on its own and I could even land but altitude limit does not activate.
If I deactivated it and reactivated it it worked again.
Or other times I flew sure altitude limit was active but it was not active.
It deactivates itself every now and then I ended up using rescue automatic gt and rescue automatic gt until now it has always worked well.
I do not know why.
While returning home of the geolink It's always worked out well for me.
I don't know why this happens I was told in this forum what happens if the connection to the geolink is unstable.
I checked the connector with the tester, I put insulating tape, to avoid electrostatic discharges, but nothing.
My only doubt it's the hot glue on the geolink side connector maybe hot glue on the connector obstructed the passage of air pressure and the barometer he didn't read well but with the PC connected (and hot glue mounted) when I raised the helicopter and lowered it the height varied very well.
so I finally gave up on understanding the problem and I used barometer spirit gt/gtr (I tried to connect the geolink to spirit rs after spirit gtr and after spirit gt).
However, the work he does is team spirit that is great no one has automatic rescue only spirit team and I understand that sometimes there can be problems.
I'm happy anyway because the other teams they don't listen to you while team spirit always try to improve, solve problems, test new features I understand it's not easy so I'm happy anyway it's just weird that no one noticed what altitude limit of the geolink v2 works well 8 times on the 10 and 2 times of the 10 altitude limit it deactivates itself or it's not good.
I can't buy another geolink v2 just to test if it's my geolink or a new geolink does too.
So I use rescue automatic.
So can be that for 3 flights return to home it worked well on the fourth flight return to home didn't work well.
A bit like he did to me except in my case altitude limit does not activate while to you the helicopter he walked away and you lost orientation helicopter.
However, it would be enough insert a voice that warns you "function geolink deactivated", I any telemetry data I can play it on the radio speakers
