Version 1.6.0 - ChangeLog:It brings many new features and improvements:
- Support for new Spirit GT and GTR units:
- Spirit GT is successor of Spirit Pro that was introduced in 2015.
- Spirit GTR has embbedded JETI DUPLEX receiver.
- It is based on a completely new technology with the most powerful chips out there.
- Many exciting features are coming!
- Specifications:
- Dimensions: 36.8 x 29.6 x 13.9 mm
- Weight: 20 grams
- Material: Aluminium alloy AL6061-T6
- Input Vultage: 3.5V - 15V
- Motion Sensor: IMU MEMS with 20bit precision
- Pressure Sensor: 24bit precision with 3 Pa resolution
- Processor: Ultra Fast ARM M7, 462 DMIPS
- Dedicated Memory: Up to 8000 flight logs
- Brand new Online Updating Process:
- From now all Spirit units can be updated online!
- You can select which version you wish for update.
- No need to download firmware files anymore.
- User can't select a wrong firmware.
- GeoLink firmware will be available for online update soon too.
- Everything available from the Update tab in just two clicks.
- New Rescue and Stabilisation precision improvement:
- If you will encounter a precision problems after prolonged maneuvers, new Gyro Calibration method can be very useful.
- This method is good in case that all other settings were not helpful.
- If Wiki page has no solution for you, please contact us.
- Gyro Calibration is needed only in very rare cases but can be extremely helpful for making Rescue absolutely precise.
- Spirit System support will guide you with a further instructions.
- Calibration can be also made in our factory for free. It is performed just once for unit.
- New stabilisation mode - Stabilisation (Hovering):
- Model will maintain vertical position to help hovering maneuver.
- Pilot can easily hover with model with a minimum corrections.
- Rescue throttle can be set for the parameter - with an Agile model you can use this as Rescue mode.
- Support for vectored elevator and rudder for Flying Wing:
- When you use Flying Wing you can connect also elevator (CH2 port) and rudder (CH4 port).
- These outputs are stabilized and can be used for motor positioning.
- Support for new receiver type - FrSky F.Port:
- Telemetry, integration and channels are transmitted through a single cable.
- Almost all older FrSky receivers can be updated for this protocol and utilize it.
- Integration speed is noticeably enhanced when compared to S.PORT.
- No special cable is needed.
- Support is available for Spirit GT only now.
- Upcoming update will allow support for all Spirit units too (with FrSky integration cable).
- For more details please visit FrSky F.Port Wiki page.
- Futaba SBUS/SBUS2 enhancement:
- Each data frame is examined to match correct time synchronization.
- Additional protection from corrupted packets.
- Futaba S.BUS2 and FrSky receivers with Spirit GT:
- A stright cable to RUD port is enough now.
- FrSky integration cable is not required anymore.
- Support for three SRXL2 satellites:
- From now Spirit 2, Spirit RS, Spirit Pro and μSpirit units can be interfaced with additional satellites.
- You can connect them at the satellite ports with SRXL2-satellite adapter.
- NOTE: We still recommend to use full size receiver + satellite receiver together.
- Improved Spektrum Integration:
- Entering and closing the Integration menu is now more intuitive.
- Only once menu is completely closed with sticks, you will see CLOSED label.
- During closing you will see CLOSING label.
- Improved detection of SPM4649T receiver:
- Receiver is now detected properly so that integration should work always well with all Spektrum radios.
- Spektrum DSM2/X protocol:
- Spektrum satellites are switched faster on signal loss.
- Temporal signal loss during satellite switch is only 100ms long.
- JETI telemetry - RPM telemetry variable:
- S RPM parameter has RPM extension after value.
- This can be usefull for voice speech output.
- JETI telemetry - New Altitude and Speed parameters:
- Altitude and Speed telemetry variables are available from now.
- Variables are calculated from GeoLink module or Spirit GT - depending on what is available.
- JETI telemetry - New GPS coordinates:
- New telemetry variable S GPS Lat and S GPS Lon for showing GPS position.
- FrSky S.PORT telemetry update:
- Telemetry data are sent in a faster rate and they are sent all together.
- New Altitude telemetry variable is sent with Spirit GT.
- No telemetry loss is present even when integration menu is active.
- Spirit GT does not require FrSky integration cable at all.
- HobbyWing ESC telemetry:
- Temperature will corelate with ambient ESC temperature now.
- FrSky telemetry update:
- New telemetry variable GPS for showing GPS position available from GeoLink module.
- GAlt is showing current altitude also when model is not flying.
- GSpd is showing current speed obtained from GeoLink module.
- HoTT telemetry update:
- New telemetry variable Altitude for showing current Altitude available from GeoLink module or Spirit GT/GTR pressure sensor.
- Altitude is showing current altitude also when model is not flying.
- New telemetry variable showing BEC voltage as Pressure [GAM] when using ESC telemetry.
- New telemetry variable showing Vibration Level as Temp2.
- New telemetry variable showing Flight Speed from GeoLink module as Speed.
- Full Spirit GeoLink module support:
- Support for Return to Home feature.
- Support for Geo-Fence feature.
- Support for Altitude Limit (Automatic Rescue) feature.
- Support for Altitude Hold feature.
Update for the
Spirit units is available in our
Download section.
No need to change any parameter after update from version 1.5.1.
