Post subject:  Servos Freeze after taking a new home position (GT+G.L)
Hello,
I got a new problem in my Heli.
Before takeoff, I sample the position of the Heli and set it as a new home position.
I do it using a switch on the transmitter.

usually, when I flip the switch, the GT blue led turns off for 2 seconds and after acquiring its new home position
the blue LED lights on again and I proceed to takeoff.

two days ago a problem started:
After the "acquire new home position" sequence , the Blue LED lights on again as expected but I can't control the Heli with the TX.
all servos are not responding to my inputs and also the GT doesn't respond to any inputs.

If I hold the Heli with my hands and tilt it, the the GT "stabilizes" and moves the servos.

Communication with TX is regained only if I disconnect the battery and power up again.

I have 2 Helicopters with GT+G.L but this problem happened only in 1 Heli.

Any Ideas what to do?

Hello,

can you let me know what receiver and wiring are you using?
That would be helpful to resolve the issue.

Similar thing happened to me. Flying my 500 heli around with GT no problem.
Land, take off with geo link connected, hovered around from take off to about 6 feet and the heli froze with no response from the rx.
It flew about 20 feet towards the ground and demolished the heli.
Luckily it went where there were no people!!!!
When are they going to accept the link between gt and geo link doesn’t work.
I now have a few spares for a 500 align AND a GT with geolink!- At your own risk!

That is very sad. Please let me know if the problem persist.

I am afraid this is very different issue if the problem was not during programming of the home position. Unfortunately without a single information about your setup it is hard to help :( If possible please provide at least what receiver, protocol was used, if some telemetry sensor or other peripheral was used. This would be helpful to be able to replicate the issue and find what could be wrong.
Anyway new update will bring improvements for all units for GeoLink communication.

Thank you for evading my post. It is encouraging that you do read them and try and sort out the problem.
Will upgrade if I can rebuild the 500!
