I am using a Geolink with a Spirit Pro on a Trex 450 Pro clone. I am using a Horus X10S and OpenTX. I have calibrated the compass successfully.
I am engaging Geo-fence and Altitude Limit through channel 9. With the switch SB at On (1) the aid page shows that both are active. With switch SB at On (2) the channels page confirms that the channel is at -100%.
I am engaging Return To Home and Altitude Limit through channel 10. With the switch SC at On (1) the aid page shows that it is active. With switch SC at On (2) the channels page confirms that the channel is at -100%.
I tried to program the Geo-fence as follows:
a) Switch on with heli on Throttle Hold, and wait for GeoLink to sync with satellites. The blue light comes on at 50+ seconds.
b) Walk to first Geo-fence corner, put heli down and wait for a few seconds. Blue light remains steady.
c) Move switch SB to On (2) -100% for at least 2 seconds. There is no response from the Geolink blue light, but the swash twitches slightly.
d) Walk to the opposite Geo-fence corner, and repeat. Again no response on the blue light.
Similar results with Return to Home.
With the Geolink switches off, I tried to take off, but the heli tipped over with no cyclic input.
The manual states that it will not work if model is flying or if GNSS signal is very weak. At home during setup I had 7-10 satellites. I fly about 1.5km from home.
When I check the Map tab, it says both Geo-fence and RTH are configured.
What could be the problem?

The Blue Led does NOT flash you need to watch the Red Led on the Spirit !!
