Post subject:  [SOLVED] μSpirit not detected
Hello,

I've got my new μSpirit. And I think I made a mistake.
I used only pro version and I thought I can just plug the same way.

I plugged and immediately plugged off since there were no red light flashing.

I've check the resistance.
SYS / vcc to gnd , gnd to signal : 58MOhm , 60MOhm.
Power line / vcc tto gnd : 1950KOhm
My multimeter may not be accurate.

I tried powering up only through aux. No LED.

1) should I repair the unit?

I think I should PM you the rest of questions.

Hello,

you can power the unit in the very same way as Spirit Pro.
You only have to make sure you are using provided cables and/or our JST adapters.
Wires in the JST connectors are swapped, which is the biggest difference.

Can you describe your wiring please?

Well basically I used wrong adapter "JST micro to JR" which is (- to -, + to +, signal to signal)
When I am supposed to use included adapter type. which is " - to +, + to -, signal to signal"

Since I was using esc telem and Sub2, Rud and E/P/A +- port is all reversed including servo ports.

I know, it was my bad.

Unless there is a method of reviving or reseting mcu I guess I have to send the unit.
Since there is no response toward voltage input.

There seems to be no shortage, though.

Thank you for the details.

Please check this page:
http://manual.spirit-system.com/index.p ... E.BCSpirit
There you can find how the pins are designed.

If your cables are now connected correctly (just + and - is needed in any powering connector - e.g. AUX or RUD), then it is really bad.
In that case you will have to ship the unit to us. For sure we can repair it (usually in one day) so it will work as a new one.

During power up, can you see at least any Status LED activity?

I don't see any activity.

I will send it possibly via EMS.
( I have to write "For Repair" on the cover and declare the value less than 25 USD.
Say, 10 USD for it is broken. ;) correct? )

Yes, please. That would be perfect.

With normal postage it should be there within 14 days I guess.
With EMS probably 3-5 days.

It is in Czech now. I guess you are going to get it by Friday if not taken by customs.

I wonder if I can replace it with pro version.

And hope I can receive it with the first batch of GPS module.

PM me your opinion, please.

Your uSpirit is fixed and working well again.
Now we will be testing it to make sure everything is perfect.

Thank you for your great service.
I am proud that I own spirit FBL.

Please, check PM. And most probably I will do what you suggest to do.
