Post subject: | Congratulations Tomas and Team for Spirit Software 3.1 |
Hello everyone, I have been a Spirit fan since day one. I have installed almost every update and with each one learned a lot. In my humble opinion, the Spirit Software version 3.1 that I have already completely installed on my entire fleet of helis, is the most impressive update for everything working the best together possible, meaning everything has been updated, and amazing how fast and quicker and smoother than any release before this. I have flown my helis with V3.1 and it made a world of difference on how the heli performs and I find the total package being rock solid reliable in this short week of testing. Now having said all the above, I am not a pro heli flyer, but having the most fun of my life with these helis now. I upgraded all my helis to V3.1 (TREX 500, Multiple Synergy E5s, and a Logo 600 and they all performed great). Tomas and team deserve (in my humble opinion) a round of applause for delivering this V3.1 Spirit Software Release, and GeoLink 1.20, and Wifi Link 3.10, possibly the best release ever. I am super impressed and pleased with the results, and I thought everyone should consider looking at upgrading to this release. I am glad I did. I get nothing for these accolades, but just wanted to share the list of items delivered in V3.1 (still for free on the updates, and super quick support responses for assistance) and a faster total solution that is impressive to say the least. Also, I should mention that this line is at near the bottom of the things accomplished, but worth mentioning here: "No need to change any parameter after update from version 2.6. and newer." So anyone that has V2.6 or newer, can do the upgrade, and not have to change a thing in the settings. Brilliant! Take a look at the list of items delivered in V3.1, it is truly impressive addressing many items many of us wanted: New version 3.1.0 released! Completely new algorithms for Rescue and Stabilisation modes: New version of revolutionary Sensor Fusion technology for completely all Spirit units is here! Rescue and stabilisation modes were totally reworked from scratch. It brings significant advancements in precision, reliability and flexibility. Model can be powered up, transported and left at any attitude during or after initialization. Yet it has no impact at Rescue and Stabilisation precision. Model can be lifted off from an uneven surface without affecting Rescue and Stabilisation modes. It can work reliably under the most demanding maneuvers and very harsh environment at the same time. Suitable for all models. New parameter Stabi Correction: It enables additional corrections from a Motion Sensor for further precision improvement of the Rescue and Stabilisation modes. For models with a high vibration level it is recommended to leave default settings. (Disabled) Enables the most advanced Rescue and Stabilisation technology. Located in the Advanced/Expert Settings window. Feature is turned off by default. New Vibration Level measurement: Vibration Level telemetry value is calculated by a new algorithm from all axes. Vibration Level is more precise and is corresponding exactly with a real vibrations of the model. Updated Sensor data processing: Improved Sensor Data processing allows better rejection of possible interferences from connected peripherals. RPM Signal Processing: RPM signal measurement should be more stable and reliable with some models. This can result in better Governor performance and a proper operation. GeoLink - Completely new navigation system algorithms: GeoLink features can operate more precisely and reliably with any flight style. GeoLink Compass precision has been enhanced by one order. GeoLink is utilizing 9-axis Motion Fusion for Compass Heading calculation. GeoLink can find absolute position of the model at any given moment. GeoLink - New Return to Home feature: When configuring channel value to 50% for F: GeoLink - Return to Home new feature is engaged. State (4) Model will return to a Lift Off position. Lift Off position is automatically programmed any time model is not flying. Lift Off position is independent from programmed Home spot and is stored in a volatile memory. Pilot do not have to program any spot and do not have to care about changing field. Original RTH feature is unchanged and can be utilized complementary. GeoLink - Firmware update: Firmware updating is more reliable with all Spirit units. GeoLink - Connection stability: GeoLink logging enablement during model take off is more reliable. Old (original) Spirit units are handling communication more seemlessly. GeoLink - Vertical Correction Gain: Vertical Correction Gain range has been increased to 20 - 150%. GeoLink - electrostatic immunity increased: During high electrostatic discharges connection was prone for freezing. From now it is established again. GeoLink - Calibration: If the Compass Calibration will be unfinished 3 times the GeoLink will use the previous calibration data. GeoLink will return to a normal operation mode after 3 calibration failures. Support for Spirit RS units: Full support for brand new Spirit RS units. Spirit RS introducing control board and telemetry receiver in a single rigid package! Specifications: Dimensions: 36.8 x 27.15 x 15.8 mm Weight: 23 grams Material: Aluminium alloy AL6061-T6 Input Vultage: 3.5V - 12V Sensor: 12-Axis Sensor Fusion Processor: 32bit high performance ARM Units are already available for order. More information will be available at Spirit System information channels. Extended JETI integration: JETI integration has major improvements and new features. Improved appearance of the integration menu. New verification for the Integration file version mismatch. New Setup Wizard that will guide you through entire Spirit setup with all necessary instructions. New Vibration Analysis screen - you can view Vibrations at the plot in a real-time (except first Spirit units). New BEC Tester that can test power supply of the model. New Log Viewer that will allow you to view all flight events in a real-time. New Diagnostic screen that will display deflections of all channels and additional details. SRXL2 protocol improvements: Support for all full-size SRXL2 receivers. All SRXL2 based receivers can operate flawlessly now. Full integration and telemetry with all Spirit units is working with any SRXL2 receiver. Wiring instructions were updated. See SRXL2 Wiki page. Fixed Failsafe mode being not triggered with some receivers. IMPORTANT: Gyro Gain Channel has been reversed. Default channel reversing can be used now. Please reverse your Gyro Gain channel! JETI EX BUS protocol improvements: Default channel values with inactive receiver connection were updated. All channels were centered. Control loop enhancements: New optimizations for all units in the control algorithms allowing even faster regulation processing. Algorithms require less computing power which is beneficial especially for the first Spirit units. Calculations are performed in two separate processor cores. Tandem Helicopter support: Support for twin-rotor tandem helicopters has been improved. Elevator regulation is less sensitive making reactions more equal for all axes, resulting in a more stable flight. Smoother Flight performance: Flight characteristics were improved with faster response time for all units. Special Function - P: Pirouette Consistency: Adjustable range was changed to 50 - 250. Special Function - P: Holding Performance: Adjustable range was changed to 1 - 10. Stick Deadband parameter: Adjustable range was changed to 2 - 30. Spirit Settings - firmware update: Servo signal is turned off before flashing to prevent unexpected movement. No need to change any parameter after update from version 2.6. and newer. SRXL2 users: Reverse Gyro Gain channel. RESCUE users: Once Rescue is engaged, please verify the swashplate is level after update. STABILISATION users: Once stabilisation is engaged, please verify the swashplate is level after update. GEOLINK users: Update GeoLink firmware to 1.2.0. Update for the Spirit units, Wifi-Link, JETI integration is available in our Download section. Just thought I would share the good news, and experience, hoping you will see the same results. Thanks, Dave |

+1, I flew version 3.1 yesterday on my Spirit 2 on my Trex 550x. Tomas, I don't know what you guys did but, wow, it flies extremely good and is extremely stable. That was with me not having flown for 6 months due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

In case we can help with anything, please let us know I have loaded the 3.1 version in my uSpirit with geolink on a 230S with the tail motor and it is working very well. It saved me from a lot of crashes in the last few days! The RTH is really great, i have very high winds and if i lose orientation and the wind blows ... it would be by bye Heli or crash time. I hit the RTH and just wait for it to come back... Thanks Thomas for the great work ! I am now so happy i will add a bigger heli and Go For It !!! Risk of crashing being much lower. |

What do you mean by a separate rescue channel? You've been able to set any extra channel to rescue for a long time now... |

He maybe means new special function to choose type of stabi mode, so it needn't be changed by banks. |

Hi guys. So it really improves flying characteristics? What is better? I wanted to wait with upgrading my two units, but you really made me wonder now. |
