1 Precision
If you are encountering precision problem of a GeoLink feature, please read the following sections.
1.1 Drifting
If model is drifting after engaging Position Hold, Return to Home or GeoFence feature it is required to make sure that:
- GeoLink Compass Calibration is performed correctly.
- Stabilisation mode such as Stabilisation (Normal), Stabilisation (Acro), Coaxial is not drifting even after prolonged flight time.
1.1.1 Incorrect Compass Calibration
Incorrect Calibration can be distinguished with GeoLink Position Hold in the easiest way. We recommend to engage the feature in a safe altitude and then observe behavior of the model.
If model will start to make a circles then Compass Calibration is wrong. If even Calibration at the flying field will not help, the problem can be alternatively fixed by adjusting Compass Heading Correction parameter.
The model must stay stationary with no aileron/elevator movement when everything is correct.
If model will fly away more than 5 meters immediately disengage the feature and land. Proceed according following subsection.
1.1.2 Stabilisation drift
Please make sure that Stabilisation is working precisely prior usage of a GeoLink features. This is very important as GeoLink is based on the Stabilisation feature. We recommend to set Coaxial mode while GeoLink support can be disabled for testing.
You can fly with Coaxial mode, preferably for a longer time or at least near the end of the flight. Observe if model will not tilt to some side. Or that it is required to hold a sticks in order to stay stationary.
If yes, it is necessary to fix the problem. It can be fixed according following page: Imprecise Rescue or Stabilisation - Settings for the best performance section.
For GeoLink features to operate the most precisely Stabi Correction ON is the best option. Please note it is not possible to utilize this feature with all models - see the page above.
2 Fallos
En caso de un problema, GEOLINK notificara al piloto mediante un LED de estado incorporado. cualquier falla es señalada por un LED de estado parpadeante que se repite periodicamente. Si se produjo algun problema despues de una falla, se requiere la reparacion de GEOLINK.
El parpadeo de LED puede aparacer inmediatamente despues del encendido. Por numero de parpadeos de LED en serie, puede determinar que problema esta presente.
2.1 1x parpadeo
Los datos de hardware almacenados en GEOLINK se perdieron.Es necesario contactar con el apoyo del sistema SPIRIT.
2.2 2X PARPADEOS
El sensor de presion no esta funcionando correctamente. Por lo general, este problema ocurre cuando GEOLINK funciona durante un tiempo prolongado en condiciones de humedad extremadamente alta. Almacene GEOLINK en un ambiente de baja humedad durante unas pocas horas hasta que el condensado interno se evapore. Si esto no te ayuda, contacta con el soporte del sistema SPIRIT.
2.3 3X parpadeos
Giroscopios, los sensores del acelerometro no funcionan correctamente. Es necesario contactar con el apoyo del sistema SPIRIT.
2.4 4X parpadeos
El sensor de la brujula no funciona correctamente. Es necesario contactar con el apoyo del sistema SPIRIT.
2.5 Parpadeo constante
This might happen rather in-flight and could signalize unexpected failure. Most probable reason is shock by high electrostatic discharge. This will result in the GeoLink connection is broken event and loss of GeoLink functionality from the moment it will occur.
3 Otras notificaciones
En caso de que GEOLINK este destellando y el piloto no pueda acceder a el a traves de la configuracion del SPIRIT, la siguiente puede ser la razon
3.1 Proceso de calibracion
If you can see 3 series of fast flashing (followed by fast erratic blinks) after power up of the GeoLink then the module is in so called Calibration process. This process can be invoked by pilot through the Spirit Settings software and must be finished according instructions. Until finished the GeoLink will be inoperable. Spirit Settings will display Not connected message until the calibration is finished.
