This guide should help you with tuning your helicopter to obtain optimal flight characteristic. The tuning guide expect the Advanced parameters are set to default.</translate>

<p></p>
<translate>
First from all, you should try a default settings that are recommended. There are basic parameters that you have to set at the beginning (for example at the Setup Wizard) but other are useful to adjust feeling and flight characteristics. Basically, you can set the behavior so that it is very similar to any known flybarless or flybared system.</translate>

<translate>
If you are in condition that the helicopter is flying, but you need to do some tweaking, you should start with the Rudder settings first. This is because poor Tail performance will lead to unwanted effects of the swashplate.</translate>

RUDDER TUNING</translate> ==

'''Prerequisite step -''' You can verify that the Rudder servo End-points are not too low or either not too high.</translate>}}
<p></p>
:<translate>
If the values for Rudder End-Points in the Limits Tab are less than 70, then it is too low. That mean that servo precision vs mechanical gain is not optimal. You can fix the issue by putting ball link closer to the center at the rudder servo arm so that limit can become higher. In case the value is more than 170 there is mostly too high servo precision vs mechanical gain. You should put longer servo arm, so the ball linkage can be further away from the center. Make sure you have configured limits so that tail slider is moving from end to end, but without any mechanical binding (servo buzzing). In case your tail mechanics allows a pitch higher than 45°, do not set limits that high. It is not required that limits for both sides are equal.</translate>

===<translate>
Tuning Procedure</translate>===
:'''1.''' <translate>
Set '''Sensor/Rotation Rate''' for the Rudder - this parameter determine how fast the rudder will rotate around its axis. Values between 300 - 500°/s are used by the most pilots. Default value of 300 is fine for beginners and advanced pilots. 500°/s is fine for experienced 3D pilot.</translate>
:'''2.''' <translate>
Set '''Advanced/Rudder Delay''' accordingly for your servo type - please see the [[Servo list]] where you can find optimal range. For ''Futaba BLS'' servos and ultra fast servos it is fine to set 0. Slower the servo is, the higher value should be configured. If you are not sure, leave this parameter (value of 2 should fit for average digital servos).</translate>
:'''3.''' <translate>
Set '''Gyro Gain''' (usually in your transmitter) to the value, that tail is holding well, but not oscillating in any maneuver (for example Pitch pumping). This value should be as high as possible always. If you are observing tail oscillation, you should decrease the gain to eliminate it. Please note that it is recommended to change the Gain only in this step. In case that you have achieved 100% Gyro Gain with no oscillation, please increase '''Sensor/Rudder Common Gain''' which will multiply the Gyro Gain.</translate>
:'''4.''' <translate>
Now, when your gain is configured, your tail can still not hold the position exactly. That's because your mechanical gain is not high as necessary. You can fix it by increasing '''Advanced/Piro Consistency''' value. Increase it by 5 gradually until the tail will hold. The value should be nearly in all cases between 165 - 200. With higher values the rudder will rotate more constantly and will become sharper. With bigger size helicopter the value is always higher. It depends mostly on the helicopter construction (manufacturer), servo arm and servo type. For ''Futaba BLS'' servos or similar, it is needed to increase the value even more (in rare cases to value of 220). You shouldn't set the parameter too high if not necessary (always set only as high as really necessary), otherwise ''tail oscillation'' in high extent can occur. You can verify it in a ''Fast Forward Flight'' or ''Pitch Pumps'' whether the value is too high and you can see any oscillations.</translate>
:'''5.''' <translate>
If the tail is still not holding well the problem could be:</translate>
:::*<translate>
Head Speed is holding poorly or too agressively during load. (can be improved by Governor settings or Throttle Curve change).</translate>
:::*<translate>
There is a mechanical issue. Check by spooling up the motor with no blades, then move with the tail push rod carefully by hand from end to end. (push rod disconnected from servo).</translate>
:::*<translate>
Tail servo is too slow (0.07s/60° or higher) - increase the '''Advanced/Rudder Revomix''' to value 1-4. Higher values are not recommended.</translate>
:'''6.''' <translate>
(OPTIONAL) When above steps are done, you can tune how sharp tail will behave. For this purpose use the '''Advanced/Rudder Feed Forward''' parameter. Value determine how aggressive the Rudder steering is. If you like quick reaction, you should set value between 6 to 8. If you like extra sharp behavior, then value higher than 10 are good for you. High value will add extra stress for servos and mechanics, so you should be carefull.</translate>
:'''7.''' <translate> 
(OPTIONAL) Once you are satisfied with Tail performance and steering, the last step is to tune Stopping behavior. Use parameters located at the '''Advanced/Expert/Rudder/Stop Gain'''. There you can tune Stop Gain for Clock Wise (CW) and Counter Clock Wise (CCW) direction. Increase the value if you need more agressive stopping. Decrease if you want smoother stopping. If you want agressive stopping but there is a bounce back visible, you can reduce it by increasing '''Rudder - Stop Smoothing''' value. In that way you can reach the best performance without a compromise.</translate>

== <translate>
CYCLIC TUNING</translate> ==

{{Quote|
<translate>
Make sure the '''Cyclic Ring''' - Aileron/Elevator range is as high as possible without binding even at min/max Collective Pitch. Ideally it should be equal angle with your max. Collective Pitch. But it is extremely important to not exceed angles allowed by the model manufacturer. With models of size 600 and bigger risk of boomstrike is very high for a lower RPM. Generally it is not recommended to exceed +/- 12° for Cyclic Angle.</translate>
}}
<p></p>
===<translate>
Tuning Procedure</translate>===
:'''1.''' <translate>
Increase the '''Sensor/Cyclic Gain''' if you can observe the cyclic is not level during pitch pumps or flight is not precise. Mostly values around 60% are optimal for all models. You shouldn't set the gain as high as possible always. If gain is too high, you could observe Aileron oscillations, especially when descending slowly or while doing Tic-Toc maneuver. Sometimes it is caused by too soft head dampeners or non-flybarless blades as well. But if you can achieve values higher than 50% then it is optimal.</translate>
:'''2.''' <translate>
Set the '''Sensor/Rotation Rate''' parameter to achieve required Flip and Roll Rate. Be carefull to not set it higher than your mechanics can handle. From certain point the model will stop increasing the rate. This mean your Cyclic Ring or Head Speed could be too low. Maximum Flip/Roll Rate for the most models is roughly 360°/s. If the value is too high, steering will initially react very quickly, but then it will slow down.</translate>
:'''3.''' <translate>
If input reactions are delayed, you want likely to increase the '''Advanced/Cyclic Feed Forward''' which plays very important role in overall behavior. Generally value 4 is fine for the most pilots. Too high value will induce unwanted effect of Elevator Bounce-Back. Low value will behave delayed and too smooth.</translate>
:'''4.''' <translate>
Now it is time to set the '''General/Flight Style'''. This is the last parameter that determines flight characteristics. If you like very linear movements from the stick center to full stick deflection then you will like low values. If you like flybar behavior, so that feeling around center is smooth but with faster input you will get a sharp response, then you want to set high value. With various combinations of Flight Style and Cyclic Feed Forward you can change Cyclic feeling noticeable. If you are switching from e.g. Microbeast, you will be comfortable with values between 4 - 6. If you are switching from V-Bar you will like 6 - 8. Difference between settings can be seen especially in a pirouette maneuvers and also Tic-Tocs. If value is too high, then blade' efficiency can decrease and motor can be overloaded. With higher value a sharp movements are transferred faster to the servos. Also if you are doing aggressive maneuvers, it will stop faster when stick is returned to the center. If the value is too low, then a Tic-Tocs can't be done fast enough, Piroflips can't be done precisely, etc. For beginners we recommend to leave default value. This parameter is only about your preference and both low and high value has its positive and negative side. For example, if you want smooth feeling around center with natural characteristics, you can set value of 8 for the Flight Style and Cyclic Feed Forward to 6 - 10.</translate>
:'''5.''' <translate>
Lastly, you might need to eliminate Elevator Bounce-Back effect. This can occur with high Cyclic Feed Forward. To reduce this effect increase '''Advanced/Elevator Filter''' parameter. Value between 2 - 3 should be fine for almost all helicopters. When using an aggressive blades you will need value of 4. Especially for bigger size helicopter, the value can be higher. In case of too high value, elevator movement can be too smooth and in some cases elevator can oscillate with low RPM during hovering. Set it only as high as really necessary.</translate>
:'''6.''' <translate>
If you reached the point when increasing Elevator Filter is not possible, use parameter '''Swashplate - Stop Smoothing'''. Stop Smoothing benefit is visible even in situation when Elevator Filter is low. At the same time you can also use '''Swashplate I-relax''' that is available in the '''3DMaster mode'''. This is helpful for extremely hard 3D flying, but for normal pilots it is not recommended or needed.</translate>

== Unable to Tune perfectly ==

In some cases even after proceeding according this Tuning Guide you can be unable to make the model to fly well. The most issues are result of poor rudder performance. This can then transfer to Cyclic whenever tail will kick to a side on its own.

=== Tail mechanics check ===

In order to not waste time with tuning procedure it is recommended after each build or rebuild to remove Tail servo arm from the tail servo. Then check the following steps.

#Move with tail push rod in full extent and make sure the mechanics is butter smooth.
#There must be basically zero friction. Any friction you feel has direct impact at the tail performance.
#The easiest way to make sure it is really smooth is to tilt model - the tail slider should move on its own back and forth.
#If you remove all rotor blades and spoolup up the motor you should see only moderate increase of required force to move with the tail push rod. Imagine the servo must overcome the force all the time - if you feel it is already too much there is high chance something is wrong with axial bearings in the tail rotor hub or something does not fit at a correct place. Even a single missing washer can cause very big difference.
#With some models it is absolutely necessary to use a '''Ball reamer'''. Without this tool push rods might never move smoothly even after 1000 flights.

=== Tail hunting ===

Tail hunting is the first, but the most common sign there is something wrong with the tail. It is enough to hover the model when there is no wind. Tail should be rock solid without any movement. If there is a movement during hovering then continue reading.

* In almost all cases it results from mechanics not moving smoothly.
* Basically any parameter of the FBL unit will not improve this issue whatever you will do.
* If your servo frequency was configured to the higest possible your tail mechanics is either still not smooth or servo is not up to the task.
* Faster servo will always improve Tail performance and could reduce the issue even if mechanics is not butter smooth.
* In less common cases the hunting comes from very high Governor P gain (ESC governor) or very high Governor Response (Spirit Governor).
* Make sure you used Spirit double sided tape.

=== Tail kick ===

Tail kick could be result of more problems at the same time. If you checked tail mechanics the biggest improvement will come after a proper setting of the '''Pirouette Consistency''' parameter and '''Gyro Gain'''.
* Make sure that Head Speed is holding correctly. If using Governor make sure the Governor Gains are not too high but not too low. Both cases will result in tail kick. Too high Governor gain can be distinguished by audiable noise coming from the motor. Your motor might be reaching higher RPM than required in that case.
* If using only Throttle Curves without a Governor it is necessary to set a proper V-shape curve. Too high or too small difference between center throttle percentage will cause tail kick too.
* If servo is too slow and there is nothing else you can do with the mechanics the only real improvement can come by using Revomix parameter. In the most cases it should be not higher than value of 4. Revomix value should be configured to be only that high as really needed. Too high value will introduce tail wag problem and other imprecision.
* You can improve the performance by adjusting mechanical tail center position by adjusting push rod length. When tail servo arm is at the center then there should be 3-4° angle between tail blades. Tail slider should be closer to the tail boom.

=== Tail stopping is unequal ===

To get the best stopping behavior it is recommended to set Rudder Servo centering position in the following way:
# Enable '''Subtrim (Tuning)'''
# Verify that Rudder Servo Arm is exactly at the middle position.
# If it is'nt at the center, use Subtrim at the Spirit Settings software to center it (Servos tab).

Once Neutral position was set, use '''Stop Gain CW''' and '''Stop Gain CCW''' parameters (Expert/Rudder tab) to fine tune stopping for each side separately.

=== Main rotor check ===

If you can observe that the model is pitching up when moving collective pitch or there is excess elevator bounce back do the following check:
# Enable Servo/Subtrim (tuning) menu. All servo arms MUST be at the center position. If not, use Subtrims in the software to fix this.
# After adjusting subtrims and servo arms are at the center, make sure the swashplate is perfectly level by using '''Cyclic Leveler''' tool. Using eye only will not reach to desired point.
# Make sure that axial bearings in the main rotor hub are properly oriented. The most models require correct I/O direction. Note that even after 30 flights the axial bearings could be damaged completely. Rotor grips must move with no steps. If there are steps they must be replaced for new.
# Make sure that a '''Ball reamer''' was used to all push rods. When you disconnect servo arms from the servos, the swashplate must move on its own depending on how you tilt the model. If swashplate will remain at the same position this will result in decreased cyclic performance. Strong and fast cyclic servos can overcome this issue in the most cases but it is always better to build the model properly.
# Make sure you used Spirit double sided tape. Otherwise a strange bobbing or oscillations could occur - especially when using a soft tapes.

In case your tail mechanics allows a pitch higher than 45°, do not set limits that high. It is not required that limits for both sides are equal.</translate>

===<translate>
Tuning Procedure</translate>===
:'''1.''' <translate>
Set '''Sensor/Rotation Rate''' for the Rudder - this parameter determine how fast the rudder will rotate around its axis. Values between 300 - 500°/s are used by the most pilots. Default value of 300 is fine for beginners and advanced pilots. 500°/s is fine for experienced 3D pilot.</translate>
:'''2.''' <translate>
Set '''Advanced/Rudder Delay''' accordingly for your servo type - please see the [[Servo list]] where you can find optimal range. For ''Futaba BLS'' servos and ultra fast servos it is fine to set 0. Slower the servo is, the higher value should be configured. If you are not sure, leave this parameter (value of 2 should fit for average digital servos).</translate>
:'''3.''' <translate>
Set '''Gyro Gain''' (usually in your transmitter) to the value, that tail is holding well, but not oscillating in any maneuver (for example Pitch pumping). This value should be as high as possible always. If you are observing tail oscillation, you should decrease the gain to eliminate it. Please note that it is recommended to change the Gain only in this step. In case that you have achieved 100% Gyro Gain with no oscillation, please increase '''Sensor/Rudder Common Gain''' which will multiply the Gyro Gain.</translate>
:'''4.''' <translate>
Now, when your gain is configured, your tail can still not hold the position exactly. That's because your mechanical gain is not high as necessary. You can fix it by increasing '''Advanced/Piro Consistency''' value. Increase it by 5 gradually until the tail will hold. The value should be nearly in all cases between 165 - 200. With higher values the rudder will rotate more constantly and will become sharper. With bigger size helicopter the value is always higher. It depends mostly on the helicopter construction (manufacturer), servo arm and servo type. For ''Futaba BLS'' servos or similar, it is needed to increase the value even more (in rare cases to value of 220). You shouldn't set the parameter too high if not necessary (always set only as high as really necessary), otherwise ''tail oscillation'' in high extent can occur. You can verify it in a ''Fast Forward Flight'' or ''Pitch Pumps'' whether the value is too high and you can see any oscillations.</translate>
:'''5.''' <translate>
If the tail is still not holding well the problem could be:</translate>
:::*<translate>
Head Speed is holding poorly or too agressively during load. (can be improved by Governor settings or Throttle Curve change).</translate>
:::*<translate>
There is a mechanical issue. Check by spooling up the motor with no blades, then move with the tail push rod carefully by hand from end to end. (push rod disconnected from servo).</translate>
:::*<translate>
Tail servo is too slow (0.07s/60° or higher) - increase the '''Advanced/Rudder Revomix''' to value 1-4. Higher values are not recommended.</translate>
:'''6.''' <translate>
(OPTIONAL) When above steps are done, you can tune how sharp tail will behave. For this purpose use the '''Advanced/Rudder Feed Forward''' parameter. Value determine how aggressive the Rudder steering is. If you like quick reaction, you should set value between 6 to 8. If you like extra sharp behavior, then value higher than 10 are good for you. High value will add extra stress for servos and mechanics, so you should be carefull.</translate>
:'''7.''' <translate> (OPTIONAL) Once you are satisfied with Tail performance and steering, the last step is to tune Stopping behavior. Use parameters located at the '''Advanced/Expert/Rudder/Stop Gain'''. There you can tune Stop Gain for Clock Wise (CW) and Counter Clock Wise (CCW) direction. Increase the value if you need more agressive stopping. Decrease if you want smoother stopping. If you want agressive stopping but there is a bounce back visible, you can reduce it by increasing '''Rudder - Stop Smoothing''' value. In that way you can reach the best performance without a compromise.</translate>

== <translate>
CYCLIC TUNING</translate> ==

{{Quote|
<translate>
Make sure the '''Cyclic Ring''' - Aileron/Elevator range is as high as possible without binding even at min/max Collective Pitch. Ideally it should be equal angle with your max. Collective Pitch. But it is extremely important to not exceed angles allowed by the model manufacturer. With models of size 600 and bigger risk of boomstrike is very high for a lower RPM. Generally it is not recommended to exceed +/- 12° for Cyclic Angle.</translate>
}}
<p></p>
===<translate>
Tuning Procedure</translate>===
:'''1.''' <translate>
Increase the '''Sensor/Cyclic Gain''' if you can observe the cyclic is not level during pitch pumps or flight is not precise. Mostly values around 60% are optimal for all models. You shouldn't set the gain as high as possible always. If gain is too high, you could observe Aileron oscillations, especially when descending slowly or while doing Tic-Toc maneuver. Sometimes it is caused by too soft head dampeners or non-flybarless blades as well. But if you can achieve values higher than 50% then it is optimal.</translate>
:'''2.''' <translate>
Set the '''Sensor/Rotation Rate''' parameter to achieve required Flip and Roll Rate. Be carefull to not set it higher than your mechanics can handle. From certain point the model will stop increasing the rate. This mean your Cyclic Ring or Head Speed could be too low. Maximum Flip/Roll Rate for the most models is roughly 360°/s. If the value is too high, steering will initially react very quickly, but then it will slow down.</translate>
:'''3.''' <translate>
If input reactions are delayed, you want likely to increase the '''Advanced/Cyclic Feed Forward''' which plays very important role in overall behavior. Generally value 4 is fine for the most pilots. Too high value will induce unwanted effect of Elevator Bounce-Back. Low value will behave delayed and too smooth.</translate>
:'''4.''' <translate>
Now it is time to set the '''General/Flight Style'''. This is the last parameter that determines flight characteristics. If you like very linear movements from the stick center to full stick deflection then you will like low values. If you like flybar behavior, so that feeling around center is smooth but with faster input you will get a sharp response, then you want to set high value. With various combinations of Flight Style and Cyclic Feed Forward you can change Cyclic feeling noticeable. If you are switching from e.g. Microbeast, you will be comfortable with values between 4 - 6. If you are switching from V-Bar you will like 6 - 8. Difference between settings can be seen especially in a pirouette maneuvers and also Tic-Tocs. If value is too high, then blade' efficiency can decrease and motor can be overloaded. With higher value a sharp movements are transferred faster to the servos. Also if you are doing aggressive maneuvers, it will stop faster when stick is returned to the center. If the value is too low, then a Tic-Tocs can't be done fast enough, Piroflips can't be done precisely, etc. For beginners we recommend to leave default value. This parameter is only about your preference and both low and high value has its positive and negative side. For example, if you want smooth feeling around center with natural characteristics, you can set value of 8 for the Flight Style and Cyclic Feed Forward to 6 - 10.</translate>
:'''5.''' <translate>
Lastly, you might need to eliminate Elevator Bounce-Back effect. This can occur with high Cyclic Feed Forward. To reduce this effect increase '''Advanced/Elevator Filter''' parameter. Value between 2 - 3 should be fine for almost all helicopters. When using an aggressive blades you will need value of 4. Especially for bigger size helicopter, the value can be higher. In case of too high value, elevator movement can be too smooth and in some cases elevator can oscillate with low RPM during hovering. Set it only as high as really necessary.</translate>
:'''6.''' <translate>If you reached the point when increasing Elevator Filter can't be increased anymore, use parameter '''Swashplate - Stop Smoothing'''. Stop Smoothing benefit is visible even in situation when Elevator Filter is low. At the same time you can also use '''Swashplate I-relax''' that is available in the '''3DMaster mode'''. This is helpful for extremely hard 3D flying, but for normal pilots it is not recommended or needed.</translate>

== Unable to Tune perfectly ==

In some cases even after proceeding according this Tuning Guide you can be unable to make the model to fly well. The most issues are result of poor rudder performance. This can then transfer to Cyclic whenever tail will kick to a side on its own.

=== Tail mechanics check ===

In order to not waste time with tuning procedure it is recommended after each build or rebuild to remove Tail servo arm from the tail servo. Then check the following steps.

#Move with tail push rod in full extent and make sure the mechanics is butter smooth.
#There must be basically zero friction. Any friction you feel has direct impact at the tail performance.
#The easiest way to make sure it is really smooth is to tilt model - the tail slider should move on its own back and forth.
#If you remove all rotor blades and spoolup up the motor you should see only moderate increase of required force to move with the tail push rod. Imagine the servo must overcome the force all the time - if you feel it is already too much there is high chance something is wrong with axial bearings in the tail rotor hub or something does not fit at a correct place. Even a single missing washer can cause very big difference.
#With some models it is absolutely necessary to use a '''Ball reamer'''. Without this tool push rods might never move smoothly even after 1000 flights.

=== Tail hunting ===

Tail hunting is the first, but the most common sign there is something wrong with the tail. It is enough to hover the model when there is no wind. Tail should be rock solid without any movement. If there is a movement during hovering then continue reading.

* In almost all cases it results from mechanics not moving smoothly.
* Basically any parameter of the FBL unit will not improve this issue whatever you will do.
* If your servo frequency was configured to the higest possible your tail mechanics is either still not smooth or servo is not up to the task.
* Faster servo will always improve Tail performance and could reduce the issue even if mechanics is not butter smooth.
* In less common cases the hunting comes from very high Governor P gain (ESC governor) or very high Governor Response (Spirit Governor).
* Make sure you used Spirit double sided tape.

=== Tail kick ===

Tail kick could be result of more problems at the same time. If you checked tail mechanics the biggest improvement will come after a proper setting of the '''Pirouette Consistency''' parameter and '''Gyro Gain'''.
* Make sure that Head Speed is holding correctly. If using Governor make sure the Governor Gains are not too high but not too low. Both cases will result in tail kick. Too high Governor gain can be distinguished by audiable noise coming from the motor. Your motor might be reaching higher RPM than required in that case.
* If using only Throttle Curves without a Governor it is necessary to set a proper V-shape curve. Too high or too small difference between center throttle percentage will cause tail kick too.
* If servo is too slow and there is nothing else you can do with the mechanics the only real improvement can come by using Revomix parameter. In the most cases it should be not higher than value of 4. Revomix value should be configured to be only that high as really needed. Too high value will introduce tail wag problem and other imprecision.
* You can improve the performance by adjusting mechanical tail center position by adjusting push rod length. When tail servo arm is at the center then there should be 3-4° angle between tail blades. Tail slider should be closer to the tail boom.

=== Tail stopping is unequal ===

To get the best stopping behavior it is recommended to set Rudder Servo centering position in the following way:
# Enable '''Subtrim (Tuning)'''
# Verify that Rudder Servo Arm is exactly at the middle position.
# If it is'nt at the center, use Subtrim at the Spirit Settings software to center it (Servos tab).

Once Neutral position was set, use '''Stop Gain CW''' and '''Stop Gain CCW''' parameters (Expert/Rudder tab) to fine tune stopping for each side separately.

=== Main rotor check ===

If you can observe that the model is pitching up when moving collective pitch or there is excess elevator bounce back do the following check:
# Enable Servo/Subtrim (tuning) menu. All servo arms MUST be at the center position. If not, use Subtrims in the software to fix this.
# After adjusting subtrims and servo arms are at the center, make sure the swashplate is perfectly level by using '''Cyclic Leveler''' tool. Using eye only will not reach to desired point.
# Make sure that axial bearings in the main rotor hub are properly oriented. The most models require correct I/O direction. Note that even after 30 flights the axial bearings could be damaged completely. Rotor grips must move with no steps. If there are steps they must be replaced for new.
# Make sure that a '''Ball reamer''' was used to all push rods. When you disconnect servo arms from the servos, the swashplate must move on its own depending on how you tilt the model. If swashplate will remain at the same position this will result in decreased cyclic performance. Strong and fast cyclic servos can overcome this issue in the most cases but it is always better to build the model properly.
# Make sure you used Spirit double sided tape. Otherwise a strange bobbing or oscillations could occur - especially when using a soft tapes.

Spirit RX Wiring

2026-04-01T09:55:36Z

Admin:

== Wiring - Spirit RX7 and Spirit µRX ==

You can optionally connect Spirit RX receivers with Spirit units. Wiring is simple and allows the best integration through our own Spirit RX protocol.

=== Spirit 3, Spirit GT ===

Spirit 3 and Spirit GT units require only a direct cable between RUD port and port 2 '''X''' of the Wave receiver.

[[File:spiritrx-wiring-gt.jpg|600px]] [[File:spiriturx-wiring-3.jpg|600px]]

=== Spirit W1, Spirit W3 ===

Spirit W1 and Spirit W3 units require only a direct cable between T1 port and port 2 '''X''' of the Wave receiver.

[[File:spiritrx-wiring-w1.jpg|600px]]

=== Spirit 1, Spirit 2, Spirit Pro, Spirit RS, Spirit GTR, µSpirit ===

You will need '''JETI Integration Cable''' connected at the RUD port (Red and Brown wires) + AIL pin (Orange wire) at the Spirit side, while second end of the cable must be connected at the port 2 '''X''' of the Wave receiver.

For '''Spirit µRX''' it is needed to modify original connector manually, so that signal wire is separated and connected at the AIL pin, respectively E2 pin.

[[File:spiritrx-wiring-gtr.jpg|600px]]

== Spirit Settings ==

In order for both devices to communicate you need to set Receiver Type to '''Spirit RX''' option in the Spirit units.

SpiritW1 Mounting

2026-04-01T09:43:44Z

Admin:

<languages />
__NOTOC__
=2 <translate>Mounting</translate>=
<translate>

Correct mounting of the Spirit W1, Spirit W3 unit plays an important role for the operation of your model.


Find a suitable location where vibrations are as low as possible - this is usually
the same location shown by the manufacturer for mounting a gyro.


It is VERY important that the unit will be mounted so that the unit is '''exactly'''
perpendicular to each rotational axis.
Depending on your preference and available space it can be mounted in
eight different positions:


*Horizontal (0°)
*Horizontal (180°)
*Horizontal (0° + inverted)
*Horizontal (180° + inverted)
*Vertical (0° - left side)
*Vertical (180° - left side)
*Vertical (0° - right side)
*Vertical (180° - right side)


In case the unit is positioned so that connectors are facing forwards, select ''180°'', please.
If the unit is mounted upside down, select ''inverted'' option.
</translate>

<div>'''<translate>
Mounting examples</translate>'''</div>
<translate>
In the following photo the unit is mounted by double-sided adhesive tape to
the frame of model.</translate>

[[File:spiritrs-poz1.jpg|class=halfwidth|center]]

<center><translate>
''Example 1:'' Position is '''Horizontal (180°)'''</translate></center>

[[File:spiritrs-poz2.jpg|class=halfwidth|center]]

<center><translate>
''Example 2:'' Position is '''Vertical (180° - left side)'''</translate></center>

<translate>

In order to better insulate against any vibrations from the model, it is necessary
to choose the right double-sided mounting tape. The tape should limit any
transmission of vibrations from the model to the Spirit which may produce
undesirable flight characteristics.
Vibrations may also be caused by incorrectly balanced blades, damaged
bearings, bent shafts and other mechanical issues.


We recommend to use supplied double sided tape.</translate><br />

== <translate>
Antenna</translate> ==

<translate>
Spirit W1/W3 is equipped with 2 full-range antennas. For the best signal reception it is necessary to mount them properly at the model.


Ends of the antennas should be perpendicular to each other in all directions for optimal signal radiation.</translate>

{{Quote|'''<translate>
Do not bend antennas more than 45° in a sharp angle. Bending radius should be more than 2 cm.</translate>'''}}
<p></p>
{{Quote|'''<translate>
Do not cover antennas with any additional objects. Preferably direct visibility at any angle should be achieved.</translate>'''}}
<p></p>
{{Quote|'''<translate>Never pull the antennas. Antennas are replaceable and could be accidently disconnected making them ineffective.</translate>'''}}

3DMaster mode

2026-03-31T11:47:15Z

Admin:

3DMaster mode is key for achieving the best performance from Spirit for all those that wish to fine tune their models to superb characteristics.
There is no compromise anymore in flight performance. Everything can be tweaked to the greatest detail.

Main features are:
*Parameters can be configured separately for each axis (Gain, Rate, Feed Forward)
*Access to PID Regulation
*Swashplate parameters are extended

==Enabling 3DMaster mode==
In the Spirit Settings you can turn it on at the Advanced menu/Expert/Other page.
Starting from 4.0.3 version 3DMaster mode is available for all Spirit units.

[[File:expert-4en.png|480px]]

==Configuration==

Main difference can be visible at the Sensor tab where you can set PID Regulation and Rates for each axis individually.

Some parameters you know from classic mode will disappear and are displayed under different name:
*'''Cyclic Gain''' is now P gain for Aileron and Elevator axes.
*'''Elevator Filter''' is now D gain for Elevator axis (value is displayed as 10x higher)
*'''Swashplate Integral''' is now I gain for Aileron and Elevator axes.
*'''Rudder Delay''' is now D gain for Rudder axis.

=== Regulation and Rates ===

Please note that these gains are very different when comparing with other controllers. Avoid using any settings from them.

Configuration

2026-03-31T11:14:44Z

Admin:

<languages />

<div id="up"></div><translate>
Configuration is the next and one of the most important steps for correct operation of the system.
Configuration is performed using the software, which combines efficiency and simplicity while offering adjustable parameters, including advanced parameters.


The software offers the Setup Wizard. It is highly recommended to use the
wizard as it will guide you through entire configuration from the beginning to
the first flight.</translate>

== <translate>
CONNECTION TO PC</translate> ==

<translate>
Before you begin the actual configuration it is necessary to connect the system
to a computer via a USB port. Depending on the operating system and
computer, a driver may need to be installed after connecting the cable to the
USB port.</translate>

<translate>
The Spirit Settings is available for the following operating systems:</translate><br />
*[[Spirit Settings under Windows|Microsoft Windows]]
*[[Spirit Settings under Mac|Apple Mac OS]]
*[[Spirit Settings under Linux|GNU/Linux - Ubuntu, Debian and more]]
*FreeBSD

<translate>
Once connected and the driver is installed successfully a new virtual COM port
should be visible in the software and device manager.</translate>

<translate>
Please install software and USB driver according guide.</translate>

=== WIFI-LINK ===

<translate>
The Spirit Settings software can be connected with Wifi module from now. It is called ''Spirit [[Wifi-Link]]''.
[[Wifi-Link]] can completely replace the USB interface. Thus user can perform all the settings wirelessly.
You can find description of the connection at the [[Wifi-Link]] instruction page.</translate>

== <translate>
CONNECTION WITH THE UNIT</translate> ==

<translate>
If you have already attached the USB interface to your computer, next
connect the interface cable to the '''SYS''' port of the Spirit FBL unit.
The Spirit FBL unit can not be powered from the USB cable/SYS port so it is
necessary to power it from either the receiver, a BEC or an external battery
pack.
The RUD and AUX ports are used to power the Spirit FBL unit and if using a BEC
or battery pack it is suggested to connect to these ports with a voltage
between 3V and 15V.
The middle wire must be the positive voltage connection.</translate>

'''<translate>
Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.</translate>'''

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
If the unit is not configured yet (e.g. a new unit) it is advised to not connect
any servos yet.</translate>
}}

== <translate>
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION</translate> ==

<translate>
Below are the installation instructions for the supported platforms.
The configuration software is available on the Spirit System website: [https://spirit-system.com/ spirit-system.com].</translate>

==== MICROSOFT WINDOWS ====
<translate>
Run the installer and follow the wizard.
If the driver is not installed yet, you will be given the option to do so during the
installation process.
The installer will go through all the necessary steps to prepare your computer
for running the configuration software. Upon completion of the installation
process, the configuration software can be launched from your desktop or
program list, called “Spirit Settings”.</translate>

<translate>
For detailed guide for Spirit Settings installation, launching and troubleshooting open [[Spirit Settings under Windows|Spirit Settings under Windows]] page.</translate>

==== APPLE MAC OS ====
<translate>
Install the downloaded software by opening the DMG file and then moving the
content to your Desktop or Application folder. Configuration software can be launched with “Spirit-Settings“ icon.</translate>

<translate>
For detailed guide for Spirit Settings installation, launching and troubleshooting open [[Spirit Settings under Mac|Spirit Settings under Mac]] page.</translate>

==== GNU/LINUX and FreeBSD ====
<translate>
Extract all the files from the downloaded archive to, for example, your home
directory.
Configuration software can be launched from the newly created directory
with the file „settings.sh“.</translate>

<translate>
Linux Mint (or compatible) installation guide is available at [[Spirit Settings under Linux|Spirit Settings under Linux]] page.</translate>

== <translate>
SOFTWARE STARTUP</translate> ==

<translate>
Once the software is installed, ensure your Spirit unit is connected via USB to
the SYS port, powered on and initialized (LED lights are on), then run the
software on your computer.</translate>

<translate>
Start the Spirit Settings from your desktop or a directory where it was installed.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
The configuration software should be started '''AFTER''' the unit has initialized.
Whenever the Spirit FBL is initialized (status LED is steady On) and connected, you can
make adjustments to the settings.
Configuration during flight is not possible due to the associated safety risks.</translate>
}}

== <translate>
SOFTWARE USAGE</translate> ==

<translate>
After successful connection of the Spirit FBL unit, all configuration features
should be accessible. If not, try to either choose another COM port (Device) or
try to restart the software, disconnecting the unit from the power supply and
repeating the procedure.</translate>

'''<translate>
Make sure the software is launched after the unit has initialized.</translate>'''

=== <translate>
CONNECTION TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
This tab indicates the current status of the connection, informs you about the
current version of the firmware, displays the serial number of the connected
unit and allows you to change the COM port. In addition it features a wizard
for initial setup.</translate>

'''<translate>
Flight style</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
Sets how the model will behave in flight.
This parameter is used to control and adapt flight behavior according to the
requirements of the pilot. It has significant impact on a pirouetting maneuvers (cyclic steering), but not pirouettes (rudder) itself.
Parameter has no impact on a stability. Generally, for bigger models higher value is recommended.


''Lower values'' mean that the model will behave in a more consistent,
controlled manner and will feel more linear and robotic. It could introduce a delay to the steering. Angular momentum will be held more constantly.


''Higher values'' mean a more natural behavior. The response to stick movements will be more flybar-like where fast movement will introduce agressive response. But a small movements near the center will be more precise. It can help to make tic-tocs faster. End of each cyclic input will become faster.


Recommended value for the most pilots: 4.</translate>

'''<translate>
Channels</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
After clicking the button, the window with channel assignment is displayed.
You can assign any channel to any function here. The number of available
channels is dependent on the receiver type. Remember to only assign one
channel to each function.</translate>

<translate>
When a channel for ''Throttle'' function is assigned, throttle output from the unit
can be obtained from the AUX position.
When a channel for Bank function is assigned, then Bank switching is activated
''(See chapter 5.6)''.</translate><br />
<translate>
When a channel for ''Gyro Gain'' function is unassigned, it is possible to configure
gyro gain directly through this software in Sensor tab. The unassigned channel
could be used in another way, e.g. for Bank switching.</translate>

'''<translate>
Failsafe</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
For a PPM, Futaba S-BUS, Spektrum DSM2/X, Jeti EX Bus, SRXL/SUMD receiver types you
can set the Failsafe directly in the unit. Channel values are stored
immediately after clicking the Set failsafe button. In case that the signal is
lost for more than 1 second it will set the values automatically in the flight.


With other receiver types the Failsafe is programmed in the transmitter or receiver.</translate>

'''<translate>
Realtime tuning</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
By assignment of a parameter ''(P)'' it is possible to change the settings directly from your transmitter.
You can comfortable set selected parameter by changing channel value (for example by a potentiometer).
Thus you do not need a configuration software at all. Usual transmitter is enough.
A change in corresponding channel will immediately change value of the parameter. Maximal deflection will set the highest value of the parameter, while the minimal deflection will set the lowest value.
Realtime parameter tuning has the highest priority. So when enabled, saved value from the profile or a Bank will be ignored.


This functionality is enabled only when the configuration software is not connected. This will prevent from a possible collisions.
As soon as the software is disconnected, selected parameter is configured by the channel value.
In case that the software is started again, it will keep value from realtime tuning in it's memory.
However, with opened software policy described above will be applied again (Realtime tuning is inactive and value will be intact even if channel is changed).


You can configure 3 different parameters and functions simultaneously with this feature.


If function ''(F)'' is assigned, it is engaged when it's value is equal to 1.
Vibration analysis function allows you to measure vibrations during the flight. It is described later in the Diagnostic tab section.


When parameter tuning is complete, it is recommended to open the software and save the settings to the unit. Then unassign the parameter so the value can't be changed anymore.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
It is recommended to always carry extreme caution to not loose control of the model!</translate>
}}

=== <translate>
DIAGNOSTIC TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
Once the settings in the previous tab have been completed, it is now
recommended to make any adjustments and changes required in the
transmitter so that the transmitter controls match the displayed system's
outputs.
Generally, each transmitter is different and the center of the channel is never
exactly the same.
Wear and environmental influences can also have an effect causing the
center of the channels to fluctuate.
Another consideration is the maximum and minimum value of each channel.
Here, you adjust your throws using your transmitter's servo endpoint
adjustments.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
3en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
For a proper operation of the unit, it is necessary that movement of each
channel correspond with the bars. Direction of the movement must match with the sticks as well.</translate>
}}

<translate>
Secondly, it is necessary to check the values of aileron, elevator, pitch and
rudder channels. These channels must be centered at approximately 0%.
The unit automatically detects the neutral position during each initialization.</translate>
<translate>
<u>Do not use subtrim or trim functions on your transmitter for these channels,</u> as the Spirit FBL unit will consider these as an input command.</translate>

<translate>
Ensure all subtrims and trims are zeroed.


It is also recommended to set the maximum and minimum values. Test the minimum and maximum throws for all channels, if these values are not equal to -100% and 100% in the diagnostic tab it is necessary to adjust your
transmitter endpoints to correct this.


After these adjustments, everything should be configured with regards to the transmitter.
If some channels oscillate around the center, it may mean wear of the transmitter potentiometers. This can be compensated for by increasing stick deadband in the ''Advanced tab.'' (Covered later)


If the values in the aileron, elevator, or rudder channels are shown in bold, the system is recognizing a command to move/rotate the axes.</translate>

<translate>
To determine Gyro Gain and Mode of the rudder gyro you can check Gyro bar.</translate>

==== <translate>
SPECTRUM ANALYSER</translate> ====

<translate>
The Spectrum analyser is a tool for measuring the amount of vibrations on your model. It is a diagnostic tool designed to determine which rotating part is causing a
problem. With this information you can easily identify and fix any problems with your model.


To check condition of the model you can see "Vibrations" bar. This indicate general vibration amplitude in selected axis.</translate>

<translate>
It is possible to measure vibrations in three separate axes:</translate><br />
*''X - <translate>
elevator axis</translate>''
*''Y - <translate>
aileron axis</translate>''
*''Z - <translate>
rudder axis</translate>''
*''In-Flight - <translate>
flight vibration player</translate>''
<translate>
The live graph shows frequencies for the currently selected axis. This enables you to see both the frequency and magnitude of the vibration on the selected axis.


Vibrations are transmitted to each axes dependent on several, various factors. Frequencies and magnitude are dependent on the model construction. Generally, the vibrations are the highest on Y axis (aileron) but we recommend you check all axes each time you are doing measurement.
However vibrations should not exceed 50% for all axes at any time.
In the case vibrations are at 90% or more, the model has an issue that needs to be rectified.
Should the magnitude exceed 90% on any of the given axes, it is
recommended to fix whatever issue is causing these extreme vibrations before flying the model. Even though Spirit FBL unit is highly resistant to vibrations, these could cause unwanted interactions with the Spirit FBL unit and could also cause mechanical failure of the model. Such high vibrations can cause Loctite to fail and other mechanical parts to break.


Vibration levels:</translate><br />
*<translate>
Vibrations up to 50% - vibrations at a normal and acceptable level</translate>
*<translate>
Vibrations between 50% and 90% - raised vibration levels</translate>
*<translate>
Vibrations exceeding 90% - extreme vibration levels</translate>

<translate>
As well as overall vibration levels not exceeding 50%, any specific frequency (peak) should not exceed 50%. Anything above this level should be cause for concern and requires further investigation.


For comparing the graphs, you can use the ''Freeze'' button. The current live graph is displayed and the graph captured using the ''Freeze'' button is saved and will be displayed as subgraph. This graph can be deleted with the ''Clear'' button.


It is possible to save the Spectrum analyser graphs. Using the ''To image'' button, the current graph will be saved as an image.


The Spectrum analyser is able to detect the vibration frequencies up to 500Hz (rotating parts at speeds up to 30,000 RPM).</translate>

'''<translate>
Measurement procedure</translate>'''
<translate>

#Remove main and tail blades from the model. Measuring with Tail Blades can help to distinguish important problem of the mechanics but is safety concern. So it is recommended only for very skilled person at area where no damage can happen.
#Place the model at a suitable, soft surface (e.g. carpet, grass).
#Set blade pitch to approximately 0° for both main and tail blade holders.
#Run the Spectrum analyser (this will freeze all servos).
#Spin up the motor to the usual flight RPM.
#Switch between the X, Y and Z axes, saving an image of each.
#Check vibrations in all axes. Vibration Level should never exceed 100%. 50% And lower is considered good.
#Stop the motor.
</translate>

'''<translate>
Recognizing vibrations</translate>'''

<translate>
To recognize which component or part is causing abnormal vibrations it is necessary to determine the speed of the highest peaks. The main rotor will have the lowest speed and the tail rotor speed will be approximately 4.5x higher. Generally, the smaller the size of the model, the higher the headspeed will be.


In order to find out which part of the model is causing the unwanted vibrations, move cursor to the peak and check the head speed (RPM). The speed of the main rotor is usually in the range of 1500 to 3500 RPM. Therefore, if the speed is within this range, it is likely that there is a problem with the main gear, main shaft, main shaft bearings or rotor head itself.


Most excessive vibrations are usually, although not always, tail related. To check if there are vibrations coming from the tail you should find the frequency peak that is approximately 4.5x higher than the frequency of the main rotor.


Once you identify which part of the helicopter is causing the unwanted vibrations, you can gradually remove components of the suspect assembly, repeating the measurement process until the vibration disappears.
Once the vibration levels have dropped to an acceptable level, you have found the suspect component and can replace it.


Measuring with tail blades installed carries some safety concerns and will also show increased levels of vibration.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
Gasser motors shouldn't be operated without load! Vibration measurement can't be performed without blades.</translate>
}}

'''<translate>
In-Flight - vibration analysis from flight</translate>'''

<translate>
This feature allows you to record vibration spectrum from any moment of the flight. By selected channel you can tell the unit when the spectrum should be taken. The spectrum can be later viewer in the Spirit Settings software with the ''In-Flight'' option in the Diagnostic/Spectrum analyzer. Saved vibration spectrum will be stored until unit will lost the power. Saved record is rewritten on repeated activation.


For vibration measurement in the flight set the Special function in the General/Channels.
Assign function ''F: Vibration analysis'' with axis you want to measure. Then select a channel which will be used for activation of the function.


As soon as the value is equal to 1 the vibration spectrum is saved. The record is saved exactly at the moment when function will change it's state from 0 to 1.


During flight it is enough to change state of selected switch of your transmitter (for example 2-state switch). After landing you can connect unit with the software and open the Vibration analyzer (select ''In-Flight'' axis to display the spectrum).</translate>

==== <translate>
BEC TESTER</translate> ====

<translate>
The tester is used for determining whether your power supply for the unit, receiver and servos is sufficient.
The purpose is to achieve the biggest current spike and verify that your supply voltage will not drop under the safe level.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
Becen.png</translate>|center|400px]]

<translate>
Click the ''Start'' button to start the test. After 20 seconds it should be finished.
If you will observe any issue, then your power supply is insufficient and should not be used. In this case power supply with higher current rating should used.</translate>

==== <translate>
LOG VIEWER</translate> ====

<translate>
The log is used to record events during flight. If a problem occurs and the reason isn't immediately known or evident, checking the log can help in identifying the issue.


It works in such a way that it records various events from the time the unit is powered on. If an event occurred you can see this in the log, reporting to the log is done every 10sec. When you click the ''Open log'' button you can see the current flight log which contains all the events from the last flight. When the power is disconnected, the log is cleared.


In the case of a major problem occurring during the flight [[File:Tr.png|20px]], the log is then saved permanently to the unit's memory and remains there until such time as the log is opened.
If there is a saved log in memory, the user is advised with the message “Log from previous flight is available!” and the log from the flight when the problem occurred is opened. For example, when a signal is lost or the power supply failed you can find this in the log. The log from the first flight where the major problem occurred is always saved. If this is not opened, then it will not be overwritten with a newer one. In this state, the user is also notified by different cyclic pitch pump during the initialization process - elevator servo will change it's movement direction.


The log can contain the following events:</translate>

[[File:Fa.png|20px]] <translate>
Good Health Message:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
The model is in good condition. The unit did not recognize any problems.</translate></div>

[[File:I.png|20px]] <translate>
Calibration Finished:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Sensor calibration was successful.</translate></div>

[[File:I.png|20px]] <translate>
Governor was Engaged:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Governor achieved requested RPM and is active from this moment.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
Cyclic Ring Activated:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Cyclic achieved its maximum tilt angle. This indicates the model was unable to do the desired correction as necessary. In most cases it is not relevant. But it is possible that the value of the Cyclic Ring parameter is too low and the model can't rotate as fast as intended in the aileron/elevator axes. Alternatively, a too high value for rotational speed could be configured. It is also possible that in fast forward flight the model can pitch-up rapidly. We recommend to set this parameter as high as mechanically possible.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
Rudder Limit Reached:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
The rudder servo reached its configured limit. When this event occurs before or after a flight it is not a problem. If you see this during flight it indicates that the rudder did not operate correctly. In most cases it is visible during flight as poor rudder response or “blow out”. If the model is set up correctly then it could be due to low rudder efficiency such as the tail blades being too short or headspeed too low. There is also the possibility of a mechanical issue or with the rudder limits being inadequate.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
RPM Sensor data are too noisy:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
RPM readout is very unstable and are oscilating more than +/- 100 RPM. Data from the sensor are unusable for the Governor. Use additional shielding and mount a ferite rings. Increase value of the RPM Sensor filter parameter in the Expert settings.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
Received Frame was Corrupted:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Received frame is unusable and will be ignored. In the most cases it does not present any problem. If the event is occuring often, then connection between receiver can be wrong or there is excess noise. Verify quality of the link and check the cable between unit and receiver.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
GeoLink function is imprecise:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
GeoLink feature is not functioning properly. GeoLink Compass might require new calibration. Make sure there are no nearby motors, servos or magnets near the module.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
GeoLink Data were Corrupted:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
GeoLink communication quality is imperfect. Verify cable between GeoLink and Spirit unit. Make sure there are no static discharges coming from a belt. Use the shortest possible cable.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
RPM Sensor data are lost:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Sensor data reading failed - RPM sensor malfunction probably occured. Sensor is not sending data for 2 seconds or longer. Make sure, that the sensor wiring is correct and that the motor is spinning when Hold is disarmed.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Receiver Signal Lost:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Signal lost suddenly. This problem should not occur at any time and must be resolved before the next flight. There could be a problem with the receiver and/or transmitter antennas. It could be a faulty receiver cable or the connection between the unit and receiver. In some cases signal loss can happen because of electrostatic discharge caused by static build up, this usually occurs in belt driven helicopters.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Main Loop Hang Occurred:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
The main loop was delayed. This can happen when wiring is incorrect or there is abnormal electrical noise interference with the unit, for example, from a BEC. If using the configuration software it could mean the link to the Spirit FBL unit is slower than it should be.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Power Voltage is low:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Power supply voltage is lower than 2.9V. This mean you have to use a BEC that is capable of handling higher loads. In rare cases it could be faulty connections in cables.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Vibration Level is very high:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Vibration level achieved the level that is not normal and can affect integrity of the helicopter. During hard 3D maneuvers the event can occur more frequently.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
GeoLink connection is broken:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
GeoLink module communication stopped unexpectedly. All GeoLink features will be unaccessible. Please verify cable between GeoLink and Spirit unit. Make sure that GeoLink LED light is not flashing after landing.</translate></div>

=== <translate>
SERVOS TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
This tab is used for servo configuration, care should be taken to ensure correct frequencies are used and that the directions are set correctly.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
4en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

'''<translate>
Type</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
In this section, set the values for neutral pulse and frequency according to your servo manufacturer specifications.
For analog servos the frequency is usually a maximum of 60Hz.</translate>

'''<translate>
Subtrim (tuning)</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
Ideally, without the rotor head installed, use a swash leveler to align the swash and servo horns so that the swashplate and servo horns are horizontal and perpendicular to the main shaft.
This is done by ticking the item Subtrim (tuning). This will put the Spirit FBL unit into a special mode where the collective position will be neutral with the servos centered. In addition, stabilization will be disabled.
Servos can easily be adjusted at this time. When completed, the swashplate should be exactly perpendicular to the main shaft and in addition collective pitch should be at 0° (it is possible to measure the pitch angle using a pitch gauge with rotor head and blades attached).


In most cases, it is also necessary for servo horns to be perpendicular to the main shaft.
All servos, i.e., CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4, are set separately on individual sliders. CH1 and CH3 are the aileron servos. CH2 controls the elevator and CH4 controls the rudder.


It is also necessary to set the subtrim and mechanics of the rudder so that the servo horn is perpendicular to its case and rudder pitch is at 0°.
This setting will affect rudder stop performance.


Once set up, un-tick the ''Subtrim (tuning)'' check box to turn off this special mode.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
After exiting the special mode, stabilization and rudder will work again. Be sure your collective pitch channel is configured correctly in the transmitter. That means you should see -100% to 100% in the diagnostic tab. Double check that 0% in diagnostic tab corresponds with middle position of your collective/throttle stick (with linear -100% - 100% collective pitch curve).</translate>
}}
<p></p>
{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
'''Micro helicopters and µSpirit:''' When Tail rotor is driven by a dedicated motor, the Rudder ESC performance can be noticeably improved by configuring ''Low RPM'' value to achieve the lowest spinning RPM for the Tail rotor. This can be configured by ''Subtrim (CH4) - Low RPM'' - the value has impact on lift off and symmetrical turning performace.</translate> }}

'''<translate>
Servo reverse</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This allows you to choose which servos should have their direction of motion reversed. While changing the collective pitch all servos should move in same direction. After this settings the model should react correctly to the sticks movement.
'''This parameter is the most important!'''</translate>

'''<translate>
Servo travel correction</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Here, you are able to modify and correct travel for each servo individually. Some servos are not very accurate in regards to travel at their limits and this inaccuracy may have a negative impact on flight characteristics. Once in this section of the software, the unit switches to a mode for doing these corrections.


It is expected that in the previous step, ''Subtrim (tuning)'', the swashplate was set at zero collective (0° rotor blades pitch).
The procedure is such that you should use a swash leveler to determine whether there is any deviation on any of the servos in the lowest and highest points of collective throw. For both positive and negative positions, it is necessary to set the values separately – this is the reason for 6 sliders. If the travel is less than required, increase the value. If too much, decrease. To activate sliders in the secondary part move your collective to opposite direction.


This correction is also useful if there is asymmetric geometry on the helicopter causing issues such as the inability to achieve equal positive and negative pitch values. In this case, it is necessary to modify the positive or negative sliders for all three servos.
If you are unsure about your settings, it is better to leave the sliders in the Middle. (position 0)</translate>

This tab affects limits and servo travel ranges.</translate>

[[File:<translate>

'''<translate>
Cyclic Ring (tuning)</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This parameter sets the electronic cyclic ring, which allows the model to achieve the largest cyclic ranges without mechanical binding (binding of servo horns, pushrods and linkages).</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
The settings here should be done very carefully to avoid damage to the model or it's associated electronics. Never exceed recommended angles by manufacturer of the model, otherwise a boomstrike can occur.</translate>
}}

<translate>
First, set your desired ''Collective range'', for example, +/-12°. We recommend
using a -100% to 100% linear collective pitch curve in the transmitter.
Now it is time to set the ''Aileron/Elevator'' maximum cyclic pitch range.<br />
Try to set the largest possible deflection. Generally the Cyclic pitch angles (range) should be equal or lower than Collective pitch.
This parameter does not directly affect the speed of rotation, but if it is too low, the model may not have consistent pitch and roll rates.
The setting should be done with 0° collective pitch. Then carefully move with sticks in all directions to ensure that mechanical binding
does not occur. This should also be done for the maximum and minimum Collective pitch.


If you increase the collective pitch range, this parameter must then be
checked and in some cases adjusted to ensure no binding occurs at your new
maximum and minimum pitch ranges.
If the selected cyclic ring range is insufficient, it is possible that pitch-up can happen during fast forward flight (even if the pitch-up compensation is at its maximum value). This is because the model will not be able to add sufficient corrections with the configured range.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder end-points (tuning)</translate>'''<br />
'''<translate>
Left / Right limit</translate>''' - <translate>
Sets the minimum and maximum deflection of rudder rotor blades.</translate>
<translate>
We recommend setting these values for both directions to the maximum
allowed range by the manufacturer of the helicopter. Otherwise, the rudder
may not be able to keep the yaw direction during demanding maneuvers and
tail blow outs may occur.
Do not exceed allowed limit for your model.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
'''Micro helicopters and µSpirit:''' When Tail rotor is driven by a dedicated motor, the Rudder ESC must be connected at the CH4 port. Rudder end-points are then used to set available Throttle range for the Rudder ESC from 0% (Stop) to 100% (Full). We recommend to set Stop limit to 126 and Full limit to 150 for the beginning.</translate> }}

'''<translate>
Sensitivity</translate>'''<br /><translate>
The rotary dial adjusts the gyro sensitivity for aileron, elevator and rudder axes.</translate>

<translate>
'''Cyclic gain''' – The higher the value is, the higher the accuracy within the control loop. The default value is preconfigured to 55% gain, for most models an optimal value of around 60% is suggested.</translate>

<translate>
'''Rudder Common Gain''' – 1.00x means no multiplication. This is the recommended value for 550-class helicopters and smaller. For bigger helicopters it is often higher. 1.3x could be fine. Gyro Gain in your transmitter should be configured to approximately 50% for the first flight.</translate>

<translate>
'''Rudder Gain''' – This parameter is enabled only in case of unassigned Gyro Gain channel. It replaces function of Gyro Gain from the transmitter, so you can directly set the value in the software.</translate>

<translate>
Rudder Gain in the software or in your transmitter can be programmed in this way:</translate>

*<translate>
Head-Lock mode: 1% to 100%</translate>
*<translate>
Normal (Rate) or a special function: -100% to 0%</translate>

<translate>
Negative gyro gain can be used to activate the rescue or the stabilisation modes – check the Stabi tab.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
Some transmitters have a gyro range of 0 to 100% where 50% is the middle - zero gain (e.g. Spektrum DX6i). Others use a range of -100% and 100%, where 0% is the middle.</translate>}}

'''<translate>
Rotation speed</translate>'''<br /><translate>
The default value is 8 and will favor beginners more, the higher the value, the faster the rate of rotation. This factor also depends on the mechanical linkage ratio or D/R (Dual Rate) in the transmitter and also on the Aileron/Elevator limit.
Make sure the value is not too high else it can cause unwanted and inprecise movements.</translate>

''<translate>
default value - 8</translate>''

<translate>
We recommend to set the Cyclic rotation rate within a range of 8 - 11. Remember that DFC rotor heads tend to rotate faster so it's better to initially start with a lower value for them.</translate>

<translate>
For the Rudder rotation rate pilots are preferring a range of 9 – 11.</translate>

STABI TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
The Spirit unit offers you the options of model stabilization and rescue mode.The stabilization function, once activated, will recover the model to a horizontal position without any other input from the pilot, this can be used as a “bail-out” feature when trying new maneuvers and can help with the learning process.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
7en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

<translate>
Rescue mode complements the normal operation of the Spirit unit. If activated, the model will recover to a horizontal position and add collective pitch as per the settings. This function can be used any time when the pilot loses orientation or control of the model.</translate>

<translate>
As soon as pilot will disengage the rescue mode full control is regained immediately.</translate>

<translate>
Stabilisation mode will maintain horizontal position of the model once sticks are released. Making flying very easy. Different behavior is available within our stabilisation modes. Collective pitch steering is unaffected with stabilisation.</translate>

<translate>
How to setup the Rescue or Stabilisation is described in the [[Stabi mode|Stabi mode]] page.
There is also Setup Wizard for the Rescue available directly in the Spirit Settings. See Stabi tab when Function is set to Disabled.


You can activate selected ''Function'' by two different methods:


* '''Negative Gyro Gain'''
* '''Dedicated Channel'''


Negative Gyro Gain method is suitable for radios with low channel count (6 - 7).
When you have available unused channel, method with a Dedicated channel is better and easier.


Currently selected mode is displayed in the Diagnostic tab.</translate>

'''<translate>
Function</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Here is where you select which mode should be activated at negative gyro gains.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Normal Mode</translate>|<translate>
Disabled</translate>]] - <translate>
Normal (Rate) gyro mode.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Rescue (Normal)</translate>|<translate>
Rescue (Normal)</translate>]] - <translate>
Recovers the model to an upright horizontal position – skids always to the ground. This recovery mode is great for beginners.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Rescue (Acro)</translate>|<translate>
Rescue (Acro)</translate>]] - <translate>
Recovers the model to a horizontal position, inverted or upright, whichever is closer at the time of activation. For intermediatte and advanced pilots that are flying acrobatic maneuvers.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Stabilization (Normal)</translate>|<translate>
Stabilization (Normal)</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - skids always to the ground. This mode is good for learning the basics such as hovering and slow transitions. Model is always pushed to the horizontal position.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Stabilization (Acro)</translate>|<translate>
Stabilization (Acro)</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - inverted or upright, whichever is closer at the time of activation. This mode is used for learning the basics of acrobatic maneuvers. If the sticks are in the center, the model has tendency for returning to the horizontal position.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Stabilization (Scale)</translate>|<translate>
Stabilization (Scale)</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - skids always to the ground. This mode is used for a scale flying. Gyro mode is Normal (Rate).</translate>

*[[<translate>
Coaxial</translate>|<translate>
Coaxial</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - inverted or upright, whichever is closer at the time of activation. The steering behavior is very similar to a coaxial helicopters. Great for learning a hovering practices.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Rescue (Automatic)</translate>|<translate>
Rescue (Automatic)</translate>]] - <translate>
Recovers the model to an upright horizontal position – skids always to the ground – whenever is model under defined Hard Deck altitude. Rescue must be activated when flying but upon reaching low altitude it will take control of the model automatically. During lift off and landing it must be turned off. This recovery mode is great for beginners.</translate>

{{Quote|<translate>
Rescue, stabilisation and GeoLink features can be affected by condition of the model. Before testing it in flight please see [[Imprecise_Rescue|this page]].</translate>
}}
<p></p>
{{Quote|'''<translate>
The rescue mode is very demanding for the BEC. Be sure your BEC can handle such peak loads. In case it is is not sufficient your model could crash! Never exceed angles recommended by manufacturer of the model, else the mechanics can be damaged during the flight!</translate>'''}}

'''<translate>
Rescue collective pitch</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This determines how fast the model will ascend during the rescue mode.
100% means the maximum deflection of the blades, which was configured in the Servos tab.
It is very important to check whether the rescue mode works correctly before the first flight (on the bench without the motor/rotors running).
Collective pitch should be always positive with the rescue engaged - while helicopter is on the ground</translate>

'''<translate>
Sticks priority</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Specifies the amount of control while configured mode is activated.
The higher the value, the more the model will react to stick movements.</translate>

'''<translate>
Direction control rate</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This specifies the rate of controlling direction for the stabilization mode.
Low values are well suited for beginners to get coaxial like behavior. Higher values are more appropriate for scale flying.</translate>

'''<translate>
Acro Delay</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Specifies a time period for the Rescue (Normal), when the model is recovered from the inverted flight. Until the period is reached, the rescue has the same behavior as the Rescue (Acro). In this way, faster ascending to a safe level can be achieved.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rescue Duration</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Once specified duration period will pass the Rescue mode will end and model will start to hover. For this purpose Hovering Collective Pitch value is used. The period is counted from time the Rescue mode was engaged. The parameter is available for both Rescue (Normal) and Rescue (Acro). Transition from Rescue to Hovering is smooth and will happen only if Rescue mode is still engaged. Collective Pitch control is returned to the pilot as soon as a pitch stick movement is recognized.</translate>

'''<translate>
Hovering Collective Pitch</translate>'''<br /><translate>
If Rescue Duration parameter is enabled and it will pass once Rescue mode was engaged the model will start to hover. To make the model hover it is necessary to set this parameter. If too low the model will be descending instead of hovering. If too high the model will be ascending instead of hovering. Value around 40% is recommended for hovering.</translate>

=== <translate>
ADVANCED TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
This tab is for more advanced configuration of the Spirit FBL unit. It is recommended that you fully understand these parameters before adjusting them. However, <u>it is essential to set geometry</u>. Other parameters, however, depend on the preferences of the pilot.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
8en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

'''<translate>
Geometry 6° (tuning)</translate>'''<br /><translate>
For proper operation of the Spirit unit, it is necessary to set this parameter correctly. Here, the unit is switched to a special mode for settings 6° of cyclic pitch on the main blades. It is necessary to set the value so that the blades angle is at 6° in the aileron axis. You need to rotate your rotor head with blades to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the model. A higher value increases the angle; a lower one decreases the angle. Optimal head geometry should be in the range of about 90 – 160. If not in this range, it is recommended to adjust the distance of a ball link on the servo horns or perform other mechanical adjustments.</translate>

'''<translate>
Collective Direction</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Parameter to determine direction of the collective pitch.
In case of a Trailing Edge rotor head or if a mixing arms are present on the rotor head, tick the ''Reversed option''. In the most cases the parameter is unticked.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
Correct configuration is very important, else the collective pitch will be reversed.</translate>
}}

'''<translate>
Elevator filter</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This parameter compensates elevator bouncing during aggressive maneuvers. The larger the value, more compensation is involved.
If this value is too high it can lead to a soft feeling in the elevator. We recommend using the default value of 1 to begin with.</translate>

'''<translate>
Cyclic feed forward</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
This parameter is used to set amount of direct feel between your sticks and
your model helicopter. The higher the value, the more aggressive the model
will feel and the faster the model will react to stick movements.
If the value is very high, elevator bounce-back effect can occur.
During a tic-toc maneuver you can also observe higher motor load or aileron oscillations, because the model is unable to react fast enough.
Setting this value too high can result in elevator bounce.
If the model feels disconnected and there is a lag between stick inputs and
the model, try increasing this value.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder delay</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This is parameter to smooth out a rudder movements. It also helps to stabilize the rudder – it is a kind of electronic damping, similar to a derivative term of regulation. The faster the servo is, the lower the ''Rudder delay'' should be. For analog servos it is recommended to set this value to around 20 - 25. For slower digital servos it is mostly between 10 - 15. For fast servos (~0.04s/60°) the value is around 5. In case of a brushless servos it is recommended to set the value of 0 - 2.
If the value is too high, the rudder could start to oscillate, wag or it could cause too smooth rudder stopping.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder dynamic</translate>'''<br /><translate>
If the rudder does not stop correctly, for example it overshoots, this behavior can be changed with this parameter.</translate>

<translate>
6 – is the default value.


The larger the value, the more aggressive the behavior of the tail.
If the tail overshoots in stops, the value is too high.
This parameter also affects the response speed of the stick movement; a higher value means a faster response.
If you cannot reach a symmetric stop on both sides you will need to make sure that the tail is centered at 0°. Alternatively, you can lower the rudder limit for that side.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder – Revomix</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Revomix (tail pre-compensation) adds rudder in response to collective pitch changes, when the tail needs increased holding. Revomix is independent of the transmitter. By default it is turned off, the user must set the amount required of the pre-compensation.


Allowed values are 0 to 10 with 0 being disabled; in most cases it is not necessary to use this parameter, however, when using low headspeed or on helicopters with a poor performing tail, this setting can be used.</translate>

'''<translate>
Pirouette consistency</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This parameter determines the consistency of pirouettes and holding performance. If pirouettes are not consistent during certain maneuvers, increase the value of this parameter.
This value is individual for every model, it depends on many factors such as: your rudder mechanics, head speed, etc. Before setting this parameter, it is recommended to first set the gyro gains.
If the value is too high, the tail can oscillate or wag. It can also cause poor stop performance. This value should be between 150 and 180.
For brushless servos it is recommended to increase value by 10-15 points.</translate>

====<translate>
EXPERT SETTINGS</translate>====

<translate>
For fine tuning you can set the following parameters. Normally it is not needed to configure any of these parameters.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
Settings-expert.png</translate>|center|550px]]

'''<translate>
Rotor Head</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Select Rotor Head type of your helicopter. Available options are:
*''Flybarless'' - for flybarless helicopters.
*''Flybar (Stablizied)'' - for flybar helicopters with flight behavior closer to flybarless - more stable.
*''Flybar (Pure)'' - identical flight behavior as without Spirit unit.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rotor Rotation Direction</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Parameter to determine rotation direction of the main rotor. In the most cases it is in the clock wise direction - parameter is unticked.</translate>

'''<translate>
Cyclic phase</translate>'''<br /><translate>
The value indicates the angle by which the swashplate is virtually rotated.
For example a value of 90 will rotate the elevator to aileron. This feature is recommended for models with multi-blade rotor heads. For most other models, we recommend a zero value.</translate>

'''<translate>
Anti-Gravity</translate>'''<br /><translate>
You can equalize throw for a positive and negative pitch. So that pilot can feel it flys similarly fast up and down. With increased value pitch difference for positive and negative collective will enlarge. It also calculate such difference based on attitude of the model. When it is skids down Anti-Gravity apply in an inverted manner. In other words pilot will feel that the model is lighter in the air. Recommended rather for a smaller models.</translate>

'''<translate>
Pitchup Compensation</translate>'''<br /><translate>
For compensating unwanted helicopter tilting during a fast collective pitch change increase the value until behavior will disappear. This unwanted effect is mostly visible at the Elevator axis. With Pitchup Compensation you can eliminate this effect, however the value shouldn't be higher than really needed. Too high value will lead to overcompensating in the opposite direction. Value 1 will work well with the most models. Bigger models such as 700 - 800 class might require higher value. The most visible effect can be seen in a Fast Forward Flight while changing Collective Pitch quickly. Advanced pilots can see a benefit during pirouetting maneuvers.</translate>

'''<translate>
Pitch Pump Booster</translate>'''<br /><translate>
To achieve flybar-like collective pitch behavior, you can increase the value until desired feeling is achieved. Remember that higher values are too demanding for power supply and servos on the model.</translate>

'''<translate>Swashplate Integral</translate>'''<br /><translate>Integral Gain of the Regulation loop for adjusting precision and stability of the model during all maneuvers.This gain can change behavior of the model to a very big degree in terms of flight characteristics. Recommended to adjust only by very experienced pilots. For all other pilots we recommend to set value 9. Lower value will feel less precise and model will behave more natural - as a Flybar. High value can feel more robotic with extra locked in feeling. Difference can be visible mainly during strong wind. Too high value will lead to unwanted oscillations and Elevator bounce back during sharp Elevator inputs.</translate>

'''<translate>Swashplate Dampening</translate>'''<br /><translate>For reducing odd effects of too high Swashplate Integral, hard or slow mechanics pilot can increase the Dampening value. It is mainly helpful for sharp maneuvers for avoiding odd oscillations or a bounce back effects at the Swashplate. With this parameter you can achieve a crisper and precise Swashplate stopping. Recommended is to set the value only as high as really needed. Too high value will result in unstable behavior, because higher value is increasing decay rate of Integral. If no stopping issues are observed even with 0, it is recommended to leave at 0. Higher value will also reduce reaction time of stopping.</translate>

'''<translate>Swashplate - Stop Smoothing</translate>'''<br /><translate>After adjusting Advanced/Elevator Filter parameter to the highest value that works the best, you can improve Elevator Stopping performance even further with this Stop Smoothing. It will temporarily increase value for Elevator Filter but only during stopping maneuver..</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder - Control Type</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
With µSpirit units it is possible to enable support for the tail rotor driven by dedicated motor. In this case two ESCs are used, where Rudder ESC is connected at the CH4 port. Important thing is to set ''Limits/Rudder ESC - range'' appropriately since these are defining available Throttle range for the ESC from 0 to 100%.
Normally this parameter is available in the Setup Wizard.</translate>

'''<translate>Rudder - Stop Smoothing</translate>'''<br /><translate>For making Rudder Stopping smoother, while maintaining crisp beginning of yaw rotation. It is recommended to first reduce Rudder - Stop A/Stop B before increasing Stop Smoothing parameter. This parameter is perfect for Low RPM setups or heavy/Scale models. Increase the value until you will achieve smooth stopping as per your requirement.</translate>

'''<translate>Motion Sensor Filter</translate>'''<br/>
<translate>Algorithm for motion data filtering.
*''Standard'' option for the most helicopters - Recommended.
*''Low Latency'' option for improving Gyro response to a motion allowing higher precision and better flight characteristics - available for Spirit GT, GTR, W1 units.
*''Strong'' option is for operating at helicopters with extremely high Vibration Level with no way of reducing them. Recommended only for Gassers, Jets or Nitro motors.
</translate>

'''<translate>
Stick deadband</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Determines the area, around center stick, where the system does not recognize any stick movement. If channel readings are inprecise the value should be increased. This can be verified in the Diagnostics tab. This parameter does not replace the Exponential function. Recommended value is 6 - 10.</translate>

'''<translate>
Stabi/Rescue Algorithm</translate>'''<br/>
<translate>
Algorithm that can make Stabilisation, Rescue and GeoLink modes more precise.
*''Standard'' option for the most helicopters - Recommended.
*''High Precision'' for models with low vibrations - Electric models with smooth mechanics.
*''High Immunity'' for models with high vibrations - Combustion models.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rescue - Smoothing factor</translate>'''<br /><translate>
To reduce demand for model mechanics please increase the value. It will make a slower movements to reduce current spike and possible overload of the BEC/battery. This will increase safety of the Rescue maneuver, however too high value will result in a slower recovery.</translate>

'''<translate>
RPM Sensor Filter</translate>'''<br /><translate>
In case that your RPM sensor has noisy output then RPM readout can be very unstable. This can lead to various problems with Governor. There may be a problem with spool up, flight mode switching or head speed jittering. To make RPM readout very precise, you may need to increase the value.
On the other hand, too high value can lead to a delay, that is unwanted for optimal Governor performance. So the value should be as low as possible while RPM readout is still precise. Variation of 1-20 RPM against the Requested RPM is optimal.</translate>

'''<translate>
Autorotation Bailout rate</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
When performing autorotation the Bailout feature is available. The bailout is used to recover the headspeed faster than normally in order to achieve flying RPM. In this way pilot can regain full control of the model and continue in the flight. When using Spirit governor you can use this parameter to precisely set spoolup rate during the bailout. When Spirit governor is disabled, this settings has no affect.</translate>

'''<translate>3D Master mode</translate>'''<br /><translate>Special mode that will open hidden possibilities of the Spirit units and allow tweaking of each axis separately together with access to a PID regulation parameters. This is recommended only for very skilled pilots with aim for thorough fine-tuning. For anyone that like easier and faster tuning it is recommended to not use this mode. More about this mode can be found here at the [[3DMaster mode|3DMaster mode]] page.</translate>

====<translate>

In case that the Bank Switching is enabled, you can save the settings from single bank or even all banks. To see the differences between Banks you can use Bank Comparison feature.</translate>

=== <translate>
UPDATE TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
If you want to update the firmware, you can do so in this tab.</translate>

[[File:<translate>

'''<translate>
Firmware</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
First select Firmware from the '''Firmware List''' that you want to flash to the unit. Once the firmware is selected, press the ''Flash button''. The upgrade progress will be displayed here. After completion, a confirmation dialog box should indicate a successful update. Firmware will be started automatically after flashing.


You can restart the Spirit Settings software when unit will reinitialize and continue with setup.


Configuration of the unit is not changed, so you do not have to Save/Load it, yet it is recommended to do a Backup before updating.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
Firmware update can be made only with Internet Connection. It is downloaded automatically from Spirit Server.</translate>}}
<p></p>

== <translate>
BANK SWITCHING</translate> ==

<translate>
This functionality allows you to switch between saved settings during a flight. Switching is done through the transmitter, so that channel's value is changed.
This mean that a Bank can store one unique settings. The unit is able to store 3 different banks.


With a transmitter you are able to use a three position switch to switch freely between banks.


Bank switching is disabled by default, so you can decide whether it is useful in your application. You have to activate it by the assignment of ''Bank'' function in the ''General/Channels'' window. Generally, it is assigned to channel 7.</translate>

:''Bank 0'' – <translate>
active in range of lower third (impulse under 1400μs).</translate><br />
:''Bank 1'' – <translate>
active in range of mid third (impulse between 1400μs to 1640μs).</translate><br />
:''Bank 2'' – <translate>
active in range of upper third (impulse above 1640μs).</translate><br />

<translate>
Initial settings for ''Bank 1'' and ''Bank 2'' are equal to ''Bank 0''. ''Bank 0'' allow you to configure all parameters, while ''Bank 1, 2'' does not allow to set main parameters. For safety, ''Bank 1 and 2'' does not allow you to set any main parameters.


The Bank switching is great for switching between flight styles, sensor gains for low or high RPMs, for slow acro or 3D. Alternatively it can be used just for tuning your settings.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
If the software (or a transmitter integration) is connected with the unit then bank switching by assigned switch of the transmitter is temporarily disabled. Then, Bank switching is performed using the software in bottom part of the window.
When a bank is switched using the software it is necessary to save your settings
to the unit before you switch Banks, or your settings will be returned to the previous (unchanged) state.</translate>}}
<p></p>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
Always close the software or any connected app before flying. Otherwise it will be not possible to change Banks by assigned switch of your transmitter.</translate>}}
<p></p>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
To verify that the Bank switching is working properly, please start the software and look at the Diagnostic tab. There you can see Bank indicator with the channel bar. Try to change position of assigned switch. If everything is correct, you will see that the Bank number will change there.</translate>}}

== <translate>
GOVERNOR</translate> ==

<translate>
Governor is feature that helps to maintain constant RPM of the rotor head. You can use this feature instead of internal governor from your ESC or other governor. It is designed to work with electric, nitro and gasser helicopters. As result flight performance can be even better.


To achieve proper function it is very important to perform correct configuration. First from all make sure that internal governor is disabled in the ESC.


It is necessary to disassemble rotor blades from your model prior to the governor setup. Do not make any adjustments with motor turned on.


It is required to use Throttle output from the unit when using Spirit Governor.</translate>

<div id="up"></div><translate>
Configuration is the next and one of the most important steps for correct operation of the system.
Configuration is performed using the software, which combines efficiency and simplicity while offering adjustable parameters, including advanced parameters.


The software offers the Setup Wizard. It is highly recommended to use the
wizard as it will guide you through entire configuration from the beginning to
the first flight.</translate>

== <translate>
CONNECTION TO PC</translate> ==

<translate>
Before you begin the actual configuration it is necessary to connect the system
to a computer via a USB port. Depending on the operating system and
computer, a driver may need to be installed after connecting the cable to the
USB port.</translate>

<translate>
The Spirit Settings is available for the following operating systems:</translate><br />

<translate>
Once connected and the driver is installed successfully a new virtual COM port
should be visible in the software and device manager.</translate>

<translate>
Please install software and USB driver according guide.</translate>

=== WIFI-LINK ===

<translate>
The Spirit Settings software can be connected with Wifi module from now. It is called ''Spirit [[Wifi-Link]]''.
[[Wifi-Link]] can completely replace the USB interface. Thus user can perform all the settings wirelessly.
You can find description of the connection at the [[Wifi-Link]] instruction page.</translate>

== <translate>
CONNECTION WITH THE UNIT</translate> ==

<translate>
If you have already attached the USB interface to your computer, next
connect the interface cable to the '''SYS''' port of the Spirit FBL unit.
The Spirit FBL unit can not be powered from the USB cable/SYS port so it is
necessary to power it from either the receiver, a BEC or an external battery
pack.
The RUD and AUX ports are used to power the Spirit FBL unit and if using a BEC
or battery pack it is suggested to connect to these ports with a voltage
between 3V and 15V.
The middle wire must be the positive voltage connection.</translate>

'''<translate>
Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.</translate>'''

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
If the unit is not configured yet (e.g. a new unit) it is advised to not connect
any servos yet.</translate>

'''<translate>
Flight style</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
Sets how the model will behave in flight.
This parameter is used to control and adapt flight behavior according to the
requirements of the pilot. It has significant impact on a pirouetting maneuvers (cyclic steering), but not pirouettes (rudder) itself.
Parameter has no impact on a stability. Generally, for bigger models higher value is recommended.


''Lower values'' mean that the model will behave in a more consistent,
controlled manner and will feel more linear and robotic. It could introduce a delay to the steering. Angular momentum will be held more constantly.


''Higher values'' mean a more natural behavior. The response to stick movements will be more flybar-like where fast movement will introduce agressive response. But a small movements near the center will be more precise. It can help to make tic-tocs faster. End of each cyclic input will become faster.


Recommended value for the most pilots: 4.</translate>

'''<translate>
Channels</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
After clicking the button, the window with channel assignment is displayed.
You can assign any channel to any function here. The number of available
channels is dependent on the receiver type. Remember to only assign one
channel to each function.</translate>

<translate>
When a channel for ''Throttle'' function is assigned, throttle output from the unit
can be obtained from the AUX position.
When a channel for Bank function is assigned, then Bank switching is activated
''(See chapter 5.6)''.</translate><br />
<translate>
When a channel for ''Gyro Gain'' function is unassigned, it is possible to configure
gyro gain directly through this software in Sensor tab. The unassigned channel
could be used in another way, e.g. for Bank switching.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
2_1en.png</translate>|center|500px]]

'''<translate>
Failsafe</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
For a PPM, Futaba S-BUS, Spektrum DSM2/X, Jeti EX Bus, SRXL/SUMD receiver types you
can set the Failsafe directly in the unit. Channel values are stored
immediately after clicking the Set failsafe button. In case that the signal is
lost for more than 1 second it will set the values automatically in the flight.


With other receiver types the Failsafe is programmed in the transmitter or receiver.</translate>

'''<translate>
Realtime tuning</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
By assignment of a parameter ''(P)'' it is possible to change the settings directly from your transmitter.
You can comfortable set selected parameter by changing channel value (for example by a potentiometer).
Thus you do not need a configuration software at all. Usual transmitter is enough.
A change in corresponding channel will immediately change value of the parameter. Maximal deflection will set the highest value of the parameter, while the minimal deflection will set the lowest value.
Realtime parameter tuning has the highest priority. So when enabled, saved value from the profile or a Bank will be ignored.


This functionality is enabled only when the configuration software is not connected. This will prevent from a possible collisions.
As soon as the software is disconnected, selected parameter is configured by the channel value.
In case that the software is started again, it will keep value from realtime tuning in it's memory.
However, with opened software policy described above will be applied again (Realtime tuning is inactive and value will be intact even if channel is changed).


You can configure 3 different parameters and functions simultaneously with this feature.


If function ''(F)'' is assigned, it is engaged when it's value is equal to 1.
Vibration analysis function allows you to measure vibrations during the flight. It is described later in the Diagnostic tab section.


When parameter tuning is complete, it is recommended to open the software and save the settings to the unit. Then unassign the parameter so the value can't be changed anymore.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
It is recommended to always carry extreme caution to not loose control of the model!</translate>
}}

=== <translate>
DIAGNOSTIC TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
Once the settings in the previous tab have been completed, it is now
recommended to make any adjustments and changes required in the
transmitter so that the transmitter controls match the displayed system's
outputs.
Generally, each transmitter is different and the center of the channel is never
exactly the same.
Wear and environmental influences can also have an effect causing the
center of the channels to fluctuate.
Another consideration is the maximum and minimum value of each channel.
Here, you adjust your throws using your transmitter's servo endpoint
adjustments.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
3en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
For a proper operation of the unit, it is necessary that movement of each
channel correspond with the bars. Direction of the movement must match with the sticks as well.</translate>
}}

<translate>
Secondly, it is necessary to check the values of aileron, elevator, pitch and
rudder channels. These channels must be centered at approximately 0%.
The unit automatically detects the neutral position during each initialization.</translate>
<translate>
<u>Do not use subtrim or trim functions on your transmitter for these channels,</u> as the Spirit FBL unit will consider these as an input command.</translate>

<translate>
Ensure all subtrims and trims are zeroed.


It is also recommended to set the maximum and minimum values. Test the minimum and maximum throws for all channels, if these values are not equal to -100% and 100% in the diagnostic tab it is necessary to adjust your
transmitter endpoints to correct this.


After these adjustments, everything should be configured with regards to the transmitter.
If some channels oscillate around the center, it may mean wear of the transmitter potentiometers. This can be compensated for by increasing stick deadband in the ''Advanced tab.'' (Covered later)


If the values in the aileron, elevator, or rudder channels are shown in bold, the system is recognizing a command to move/rotate the axes.</translate>

<translate>
To determine Gyro Gain and Mode of the rudder gyro you can check Gyro bar.</translate>

==== <translate>
SPECTRUM ANALYSER</translate> ====

<translate>
The Spectrum analyser is a tool for measuring the amount of vibrations on your model. It is a diagnostic tool designed to determine which rotating part is causing a
problem. With this information you can easily identify and fix any problems with your model.


To check condition of the model you can see "Vibrations" bar. This indicate general vibration amplitude in selected axis.</translate>

<translate>
It is possible to measure vibrations in three separate axes:</translate><br />
*''X - <translate>
elevator axis</translate>''
*''Y - <translate>
aileron axis</translate>''
*''Z - <translate>
rudder axis</translate>''
*''In-Flight - <translate>
flight vibration player</translate>''
<translate>
The live graph shows frequencies for the currently selected axis. This enables you to see both the frequency and magnitude of the vibration on the selected axis.


Vibrations are transmitted to each axes dependent on several, various factors. Frequencies and magnitude are dependent on the model construction. Generally, the vibrations are the highest on Y axis (aileron) but we recommend you check all axes each time you are doing measurement.
However vibrations should not exceed 50% for all axes at any time.
In the case vibrations are at 90% or more, the model has an issue that needs to be rectified.
Should the magnitude exceed 90% on any of the given axes, it is
recommended to fix whatever issue is causing these extreme vibrations before flying the model. Even though Spirit FBL unit is highly resistant to vibrations, these could cause unwanted interactions with the Spirit FBL unit and could also cause mechanical failure of the model. Such high vibrations can cause Loctite to fail and other mechanical parts to break.


Vibration levels:</translate><br />
*<translate>
Vibrations up to 50% - vibrations at a normal and acceptable level</translate>
*<translate>
Vibrations between 50% and 90% - raised vibration levels</translate>
*<translate>
Vibrations exceeding 90% - extreme vibration levels</translate>

<translate>
As well as overall vibration levels not exceeding 50%, any specific frequency (peak) should not exceed 50%. Anything above this level should be cause for concern and requires further investigation.


For comparing the graphs, you can use the ''Freeze'' button. The current live graph is displayed and the graph captured using the ''Freeze'' button is saved and will be displayed as subgraph. This graph can be deleted with the ''Clear'' button.


It is possible to save the Spectrum analyser graphs. Using the ''To image'' button, the current graph will be saved as an image.


The Spectrum analyser is able to detect the vibration frequencies up to 500Hz (rotating parts at speeds up to 30,000 RPM).</translate>

[[File:<translate>
3_1fen.png</translate>|center|500px]]

'''<translate>
Measurement procedure</translate>'''
<translate>

#Remove main and tail blades from the model. Measuring with Tail Blades can help to distinguish important problem of the mechanics but is safety concern. So it is recommended only for very skilled person at area where no damage can happen.
#Place the model at a suitable, soft surface (e.g. carpet, grass).
#Set blade pitch to approximately 0° for both main and tail blade holders.
#Run the Spectrum analyser (this will freeze all servos).
#Spin up the motor to the usual flight RPM.
#Switch between the X, Y and Z axes, saving an image of each.
#Check vibrations in all axes. Vibration Level should never exceed 100%. 50% And lower is considered good.
#Stop the motor.
</translate>

'''<translate>
Recognizing vibrations</translate>'''

<translate>
To recognize which component or part is causing abnormal vibrations it is necessary to determine the speed of the highest peaks. The main rotor will have the lowest speed and the tail rotor speed will be approximately 4.5x higher. Generally, the smaller the size of the model, the higher the headspeed will be.


In order to find out which part of the model is causing the unwanted vibrations, move cursor to the peak and check the head speed (RPM). The speed of the main rotor is usually in the range of 1500 to 3500 RPM. Therefore, if the speed is within this range, it is likely that there is a problem with the main gear, main shaft, main shaft bearings or rotor head itself.


Most excessive vibrations are usually, although not always, tail related. To check if there are vibrations coming from the tail you should find the frequency peak that is approximately 4.5x higher than the frequency of the main rotor.


Once you identify which part of the helicopter is causing the unwanted vibrations, you can gradually remove components of the suspect assembly, repeating the measurement process until the vibration disappears.
Once the vibration levels have dropped to an acceptable level, you have found the suspect component and can replace it.


Measuring with tail blades installed carries some safety concerns and will also show increased levels of vibration.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
Gasser motors shouldn't be operated without load! Vibration measurement can't be performed without blades.</translate>
}}

'''<translate>
In-Flight - vibration analysis from flight</translate>'''

<translate>
This feature allows you to record vibration spectrum from any moment of the flight. By selected channel you can tell the unit when the spectrum should be taken. The spectrum can be later viewer in the Spirit Settings software with the ''In-Flight'' option in the Diagnostic/Spectrum analyzer. Saved vibration spectrum will be stored until unit will lost the power. Saved record is rewritten on repeated activation.


For vibration measurement in the flight set the Special function in the General/Channels.
Assign function ''F: Vibration analysis'' with axis you want to measure. Then select a channel which will be used for activation of the function.


As soon as the value is equal to 1 the vibration spectrum is saved. The record is saved exactly at the moment when function will change it's state from 0 to 1.


During flight it is enough to change state of selected switch of your transmitter (for example 2-state switch). After landing you can connect unit with the software and open the Vibration analyzer (select ''In-Flight'' axis to display the spectrum).</translate>

==== <translate>
BEC TESTER</translate> ====

<translate>
The tester is used for determining whether your power supply for the unit, receiver and servos is sufficient.
The purpose is to achieve the biggest current spike and verify that your supply voltage will not drop under the safe level.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
Becen.png</translate>|center|400px]]

<translate>
Click the ''Start'' button to start the test. After 20 seconds it should be finished.
If you will observe any issue, then your power supply is insufficient and should not be used. In this case power supply with higher current rating should used.</translate>

==== <translate>
LOG VIEWER</translate> ====

<translate>
The log is used to record events during flight. If a problem occurs and the reason isn't immediately known or evident, checking the log can help in identifying the issue.


It works in such a way that it records various events from the time the unit is powered on. If an event occurred you can see this in the log, reporting to the log is done every 10sec. When you click the ''Open log'' button you can see the current flight log which contains all the events from the last flight. When the power is disconnected, the log is cleared.


In the case of a major problem occurring during the flight [[File:Tr.png|20px]], the log is then saved permanently to the unit's memory and remains there until such time as the log is opened.
If there is a saved log in memory, the user is advised with the message “Log from previous flight is available!” and the log from the flight when the problem occurred is opened. For example, when a signal is lost or the power supply failed you can find this in the log. The log from the first flight where the major problem occurred is always saved. If this is not opened, then it will not be overwritten with a newer one. In this state, the user is also notified by different cyclic pitch pump during the initialization process - elevator servo will change it's movement direction.


The log can contain the following events:</translate>

[[File:Fa.png|20px]] <translate>
Good Health Message:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
The model is in good condition. The unit did not recognize any problems.</translate></div>

[[File:I.png|20px]] <translate>
Calibration Finished:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Sensor calibration was successful.</translate></div>

[[File:I.png|20px]] <translate>
Governor was Engaged:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Governor achieved requested RPM and is active from this moment.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
Cyclic Ring Activated:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Cyclic achieved its maximum tilt angle. This indicates the model was unable to do the desired correction as necessary. In most cases it is not relevant. But it is possible that the value of the Cyclic Ring parameter is too low and the model can't rotate as fast as intended in the aileron/elevator axes. Alternatively, a too high value for rotational speed could be configured. It is also possible that in fast forward flight the model can pitch-up rapidly. We recommend to set this parameter as high as mechanically possible.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
Rudder Limit Reached:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
The rudder servo reached its configured limit. When this event occurs before or after a flight it is not a problem. If you see this during flight it indicates that the rudder did not operate correctly. In most cases it is visible during flight as poor rudder response or “blow out”. If the model is set up correctly then it could be due to low rudder efficiency such as the tail blades being too short or headspeed too low. There is also the possibility of a mechanical issue or with the rudder limits being inadequate.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
RPM Sensor data are too noisy:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
RPM readout is very unstable and are oscilating more than +/- 100 RPM. Data from the sensor are unusable for the Governor. Use additional shielding and mount a ferite rings. Increase value of the RPM Sensor filter parameter in the Expert settings.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
Received Frame was Corrupted:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Received frame is unusable and will be ignored. In the most cases it does not present any problem. If the event is occuring often, then connection between receiver can be wrong or there is excess noise. Verify quality of the link and check the cable between unit and receiver.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
GeoLink function is imprecise:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
GeoLink feature is not functioning properly. GeoLink Compass might require new calibration. Make sure there are no nearby motors, servos or magnets near the module.</translate></div>

[[File:Zv.png|20px]] <translate>
GeoLink Data were Corrupted:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
GeoLink communication quality is imperfect. Verify cable between GeoLink and Spirit unit. Make sure there are no static discharges coming from a belt. Use the shortest possible cable.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
RPM Sensor data are lost:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Sensor data reading failed - RPM sensor malfunction probably occured. Sensor is not sending data for 2 seconds or longer. Make sure, that the sensor wiring is correct and that the motor is spinning when Hold is disarmed.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Receiver Signal Lost:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Signal lost suddenly. This problem should not occur at any time and must be resolved before the next flight. There could be a problem with the receiver and/or transmitter antennas. It could be a faulty receiver cable or the connection between the unit and receiver. In some cases signal loss can happen because of electrostatic discharge caused by static build up, this usually occurs in belt driven helicopters.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Main Loop Hang Occurred:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
The main loop was delayed. This can happen when wiring is incorrect or there is abnormal electrical noise interference with the unit, for example, from a BEC. If using the configuration software it could mean the link to the Spirit FBL unit is slower than it should be.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Power Voltage is low:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Power supply voltage is lower than 2.9V. This mean you have to use a BEC that is capable of handling higher loads. In rare cases it could be faulty connections in cables.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
Vibration Level is very high:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
Vibration level achieved the level that is not normal and can affect integrity of the helicopter. During hard 3D maneuvers the event can occur more frequently.</translate></div>

[[File:Tr.png|20px]] <translate>
GeoLink connection is broken:</translate>
:: <div style="font-size:small"><translate>
GeoLink module communication stopped unexpectedly. All GeoLink features will be unaccessible. Please verify cable between GeoLink and Spirit unit. Make sure that GeoLink LED light is not flashing after landing.</translate></div>

=== <translate>
SERVOS TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
This tab is used for servo configuration, care should be taken to ensure correct frequencies are used and that the directions are set correctly.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
4en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

'''<translate>
Type</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
In this section, set the values for neutral pulse and frequency according to your servo manufacturer specifications.
For analog servos the frequency is usually a maximum of 60Hz.</translate>

'''<translate>
Subtrim (tuning)</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
Ideally, without the rotor head installed, use a swash leveler to align the swash and servo horns so that the swashplate and servo horns are horizontal and perpendicular to the main shaft.
This is done by ticking the item Subtrim (tuning). This will put the Spirit FBL unit into a special mode where the collective position will be neutral with the servos centered. In addition, stabilization will be disabled.
Servos can easily be adjusted at this time. When completed, the swashplate should be exactly perpendicular to the main shaft and in addition collective pitch should be at 0° (it is possible to measure the pitch angle using a pitch gauge with rotor head and blades attached).


In most cases, it is also necessary for servo horns to be perpendicular to the main shaft.
All servos, i.e., CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4, are set separately on individual sliders. CH1 and CH3 are the aileron servos. CH2 controls the elevator and CH4 controls the rudder.


It is also necessary to set the subtrim and mechanics of the rudder so that the servo horn is perpendicular to its case and rudder pitch is at 0°.
This setting will affect rudder stop performance.


Once set up, un-tick the ''Subtrim (tuning)'' check box to turn off this special mode.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
After exiting the special mode, stabilization and rudder will work again. Be sure your collective pitch channel is configured correctly in the transmitter. That means you should see -100% to 100% in the diagnostic tab. Double check that 0% in diagnostic tab corresponds with middle position of your collective/throttle stick (with linear -100% - 100% collective pitch curve).</translate>
}}
<p></p>
{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
'''Micro helicopters and µSpirit:''' When Tail rotor is driven by a dedicated motor, the Rudder ESC performance can be noticeably improved by configuring ''Low RPM'' value to achieve the lowest spinning RPM for the Tail rotor. This can be configured by ''Subtrim (CH4) - Low RPM'' - the value has impact on lift off and symmetrical turning performace.</translate> }}

'''<translate>
Servo reverse</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This allows you to choose which servos should have their direction of motion reversed. While changing the collective pitch all servos should move in same direction. After this settings the model should react correctly to the sticks movement.
'''This parameter is the most important!'''</translate>

'''<translate>
Servo travel correction</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Here, you are able to modify and correct travel for each servo individually. Some servos are not very accurate in regards to travel at their limits and this inaccuracy may have a negative impact on flight characteristics. Once in this section of the software, the unit switches to a mode for doing these corrections.


It is expected that in the previous step, ''Subtrim (tuning)'', the swashplate was set at zero collective (0° rotor blades pitch).
The procedure is such that you should use a swash leveler to determine whether there is any deviation on any of the servos in the lowest and highest points of collective throw. For both positive and negative positions, it is necessary to set the values separately – this is the reason for 6 sliders. If the travel is less than required, increase the value. If too much, decrease. To activate sliders in the secondary part move your collective to opposite direction.


This correction is also useful if there is asymmetric geometry on the helicopter causing issues such as the inability to achieve equal positive and negative pitch values. In this case, it is necessary to modify the positive or negative sliders for all three servos.
If you are unsure about your settings, it is better to leave the sliders in the Middle. (position 0)</translate>

'''<translate>
Cyclic Ring (tuning)</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This parameter sets the electronic cyclic ring, which allows the model to achieve the largest cyclic ranges without mechanical binding (binding of servo horns, pushrods and linkages).</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
The settings here should be done very carefully to avoid damage to the model or it's associated electronics. Never exceed recommended angles by manufacturer of the model, otherwise a boomstrike can occur.</translate>

<translate>
First, set your desired ''Collective range'', for example, +/-12°. We recommend
using a -100% to 100% linear collective pitch curve in the transmitter.
Now it is time to set the ''Aileron/Elevator'' maximum cyclic pitch range.<br />
Try to set the largest possible deflection. Generally the Cyclic pitch angles (range) should be equal or lower than Collective pitch.
This parameter does not directly affect the speed of rotation, but if it is too low, the model may not have consistent pitch and roll rates.
The setting should be done with 0° collective pitch. Then carefully move with sticks in all directions to ensure that mechanical binding
does not occur. This should also be done for the maximum and minimum Collective pitch.


If you increase the collective pitch range, this parameter must then be
checked and in some cases adjusted to ensure no binding occurs at your new
maximum and minimum pitch ranges.
If the selected cyclic ring range is insufficient, it is possible that pitch-up can happen during fast forward flight (even if the pitch-up compensation is at its maximum value). This is because the model will not be able to add sufficient corrections with the configured range.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder end-points (tuning)</translate>'''<br />
'''<translate>
Left / Right limit</translate>''' - <translate>
Sets the minimum and maximum deflection of rudder rotor blades.</translate>
<translate>
We recommend setting these values for both directions to the maximum
allowed range by the manufacturer of the helicopter. Otherwise, the rudder
may not be able to keep the yaw direction during demanding maneuvers and
tail blow outs may occur.
Do not exceed allowed limit for your model.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
'''Micro helicopters and µSpirit:''' When Tail rotor is driven by a dedicated motor, the Rudder ESC must be connected at the CH4 port. Rudder end-points are then used to set available Throttle range for the Rudder ESC from 0% (Stop) to 100% (Full). We recommend to set Stop limit to 126 and Full limit to 150 for the beginning.</translate> }}

=== <translate>
SENSOR TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
This tab is the last important part of the settings which must be configured.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
6en.png</translate>|center|500px]]

'''<translate>
Sensitivity</translate>'''<br /><translate>
The rotary dial adjusts the gyro sensitivity for aileron, elevator and rudder axes.</translate>

<translate>
'''Cyclic gain''' – The higher the value is, the higher the accuracy within the control loop. The default value is preconfigured to 55% gain, for most models an optimal value of around 60% is suggested.</translate>

<translate>
'''Rudder Common Gain''' – 1.00x means no multiplication. This is the recommended value for 550-class helicopters and smaller. For bigger helicopters it is often higher. 1.3x could be fine. Gyro Gain in your transmitter should be configured to approximately 50% for the first flight.</translate>

<translate>
'''Rudder Gain''' – This parameter is enabled only in case of unassigned Gyro Gain channel. It replaces function of Gyro Gain from the transmitter, so you can directly set the value in the software.</translate>

<translate>
Rudder Gain in the software or in your transmitter can be programmed in this way:</translate>

*<translate>
Head-Lock mode: 1% to 100%</translate>
*<translate>
Normal (Rate) or a special function: -100% to 0%</translate>

<translate>
Negative gyro gain can be used to activate the rescue or the stabilisation modes – check the Stabi tab.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
Some transmitters have a gyro range of 0 to 100% where 50% is the middle - zero gain (e.g. Spektrum DX6i). Others use a range of -100% and 100%, where 0% is the middle.</translate>}}

'''<translate>
Rotation speed</translate>'''<br /><translate>
The default value is 8 and will favor beginners more, the higher the value, the faster the rate of rotation. This factor also depends on the mechanical linkage ratio or D/R (Dual Rate) in the transmitter and also on the Aileron/Elevator limit.
Make sure the value is not too high else it can cause unwanted and inprecise movements.</translate>

''<translate>
default value - 8</translate>''

<translate>
We recommend to set the Cyclic rotation rate within a range of 8 - 11. Remember that DFC rotor heads tend to rotate faster so it's better to initially start with a lower value for them.</translate>

<translate>
For the Rudder rotation rate pilots are preferring a range of 9 – 11.</translate>

=== <translate>
STABI TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
The Spirit unit offers you the options of model stabilization and rescue mode.The stabilization function, once activated, will recover the model to a horizontal position without any other input from the pilot, this can be used as a “bail-out” feature when trying new maneuvers and can help with the learning process.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
7en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

<translate>
Rescue mode complements the normal operation of the Spirit unit. If activated, the model will recover to a horizontal position and add collective pitch as per the settings. This function can be used any time when the pilot loses orientation or control of the model.</translate>

<translate>
As soon as pilot will disengage the rescue mode full control is regained immediately.</translate>

<translate>
Stabilisation mode will maintain horizontal position of the model once sticks are released. Making flying very easy. Different behavior is available within our stabilisation modes. Collective pitch steering is unaffected with stabilisation.</translate>

<translate>
How to setup the Rescue or Stabilisation is described in the [[Stabi mode|Stabi mode]] page.
There is also Setup Wizard for the Rescue available directly in the Spirit Settings. See Stabi tab when Function is set to Disabled.


You can activate selected ''Function'' by two different methods:


* '''Negative Gyro Gain'''
* '''Dedicated Channel'''


Negative Gyro Gain method is suitable for radios with low channel count (6 - 7).
When you have available unused channel, method with a Dedicated channel is better and easier.


Currently selected mode is displayed in the Diagnostic tab.</translate>

'''<translate>
Function</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Here is where you select which mode should be activated at negative gyro gains.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Normal Mode</translate>|<translate>
Disabled</translate>]] - <translate>
Normal (Rate) gyro mode.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Rescue (Normal)</translate>|<translate>
Rescue (Normal)</translate>]] - <translate>
Recovers the model to an upright horizontal position – skids always to the ground. This recovery mode is great for beginners.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Rescue (Acro)</translate>|<translate>
Rescue (Acro)</translate>]] - <translate>
Recovers the model to a horizontal position, inverted or upright, whichever is closer at the time of activation. For intermediatte and advanced pilots that are flying acrobatic maneuvers.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Stabilization (Normal)</translate>|<translate>
Stabilization (Normal)</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - skids always to the ground. This mode is good for learning the basics such as hovering and slow transitions. Model is always pushed to the horizontal position.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Stabilization (Acro)</translate>|<translate>
Stabilization (Acro)</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - inverted or upright, whichever is closer at the time of activation. This mode is used for learning the basics of acrobatic maneuvers. If the sticks are in the center, the model has tendency for returning to the horizontal position.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Stabilization (Scale)</translate>|<translate>
Stabilization (Scale)</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - skids always to the ground. This mode is used for a scale flying. Gyro mode is Normal (Rate).</translate>

*[[<translate>
Coaxial</translate>|<translate>
Coaxial</translate>]] - <translate>
stabilization mode - inverted or upright, whichever is closer at the time of activation. The steering behavior is very similar to a coaxial helicopters. Great for learning a hovering practices.</translate>

*[[<translate>
Rescue (Automatic)</translate>|<translate>
Rescue (Automatic)</translate>]] - <translate>
Recovers the model to an upright horizontal position – skids always to the ground – whenever is model under defined Hard Deck altitude. Rescue must be activated when flying but upon reaching low altitude it will take control of the model automatically. During lift off and landing it must be turned off. This recovery mode is great for beginners.</translate>

{{Quote|<translate>
Rescue, stabilisation and GeoLink features can be affected by condition of the model. Before testing it in flight please see [[Imprecise_Rescue|this page]].</translate>
}}
<p></p>
{{Quote|'''<translate>
The rescue mode is very demanding for the BEC. Be sure your BEC can handle such peak loads. In case it is is not sufficient your model could crash! Never exceed angles recommended by manufacturer of the model, else the mechanics can be damaged during the flight!</translate>'''}}

'''<translate>
Rescue collective pitch</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This determines how fast the model will ascend during the rescue mode.
100% means the maximum deflection of the blades, which was configured in the Servos tab.
It is very important to check whether the rescue mode works correctly before the first flight (on the bench without the motor/rotors running).
Collective pitch should be always positive with the rescue engaged - while helicopter is on the ground</translate>

'''<translate>
Sticks priority</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Specifies the amount of control while configured mode is activated.
The higher the value, the more the model will react to stick movements.</translate>

'''<translate>
Direction control rate</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This specifies the rate of controlling direction for the stabilization mode.
Low values are well suited for beginners to get coaxial like behavior. Higher values are more appropriate for scale flying.</translate>

'''<translate>
Acro Delay</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Specifies a time period for the Rescue (Normal), when the model is recovered from the inverted flight. Until the period is reached, the rescue has the same behavior as the Rescue (Acro). In this way, faster ascending to a safe level can be achieved.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rescue Duration</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Once specified duration period will pass the Rescue mode will end and model will start to hover. For this purpose Hovering Collective Pitch value is used. The period is counted from time the Rescue mode was engaged. The parameter is available for both Rescue (Normal) and Rescue (Acro). Transition from Rescue to Hovering is smooth and will happen only if Rescue mode is still engaged. Collective Pitch control is returned to the pilot as soon as a pitch stick movement is recognized.</translate>

'''<translate>
Hovering Collective Pitch</translate>'''<br /><translate>
If Rescue Duration parameter is enabled and it will pass once Rescue mode was engaged the model will start to hover. To make the model hover it is necessary to set this parameter. If too low the model will be descending instead of hovering. If too high the model will be ascending instead of hovering. Value around 40% is recommended for hovering.</translate>

=== <translate>
ADVANCED TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
This tab is for more advanced configuration of the Spirit FBL unit. It is recommended that you fully understand these parameters before adjusting them. However, <u>it is essential to set geometry</u>. Other parameters, however, depend on the preferences of the pilot.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
8en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

'''<translate>
Geometry 6° (tuning)</translate>'''<br /><translate>
For proper operation of the Spirit unit, it is necessary to set this parameter correctly. Here, the unit is switched to a special mode for settings 6° of cyclic pitch on the main blades. It is necessary to set the value so that the blades angle is at 6° in the aileron axis. You need to rotate your rotor head with blades to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the model. A higher value increases the angle; a lower one decreases the angle. Optimal head geometry should be in the range of about 90 – 160. If not in this range, it is recommended to adjust the distance of a ball link on the servo horns or perform other mechanical adjustments.</translate>

'''<translate>
Collective Direction</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Parameter to determine direction of the collective pitch.
In case of a Trailing Edge rotor head or if a mixing arms are present on the rotor head, tick the ''Reversed option''. In the most cases the parameter is unticked.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>
Correct configuration is very important, else the collective pitch will be reversed.</translate>
}}

'''<translate>
Elevator filter</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This parameter compensates elevator bouncing during aggressive maneuvers. The larger the value, more compensation is involved.
If this value is too high it can lead to a soft feeling in the elevator. We recommend using the default value of 1 to begin with.</translate>

'''<translate>
Cyclic feed forward</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
This parameter is used to set amount of direct feel between your sticks and
your model helicopter. The higher the value, the more aggressive the model
will feel and the faster the model will react to stick movements.
If the value is very high, elevator bounce-back effect can occur.
During a tic-toc maneuver you can also observe higher motor load or aileron oscillations, because the model is unable to react fast enough.
Setting this value too high can result in elevator bounce.
If the model feels disconnected and there is a lag between stick inputs and
the model, try increasing this value.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder delay</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This is parameter to smooth out a rudder movements. It also helps to stabilize the rudder – it is a kind of electronic damping, similar to a derivative term of regulation. The faster the servo is, the lower the ''Rudder delay'' should be. For analog servos it is recommended to set this value to around 20 - 25. For slower digital servos it is mostly between 10 - 15. For fast servos (~0.04s/60°) the value is around 5. In case of a brushless servos it is recommended to set the value of 0 - 2.
If the value is too high, the rudder could start to oscillate, wag or it could cause too smooth rudder stopping.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder dynamic</translate>'''<br /><translate>
If the rudder does not stop correctly, for example it overshoots, this behavior can be changed with this parameter.</translate>

<translate>
6 – is the default value.


The larger the value, the more aggressive the behavior of the tail.
If the tail overshoots in stops, the value is too high.
This parameter also affects the response speed of the stick movement; a higher value means a faster response.
If you cannot reach a symmetric stop on both sides you will need to make sure that the tail is centered at 0°. Alternatively, you can lower the rudder limit for that side.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder – Revomix</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Revomix (tail pre-compensation) adds rudder in response to collective pitch changes, when the tail needs increased holding. Revomix is independent of the transmitter. By default it is turned off, the user must set the amount required of the pre-compensation.


Allowed values are 0 to 10 with 0 being disabled; in most cases it is not necessary to use this parameter, however, when using low headspeed or on helicopters with a poor performing tail, this setting can be used.</translate>

'''<translate>
Pirouette consistency</translate>'''<br /><translate>
This parameter determines the consistency of pirouettes and holding performance. If pirouettes are not consistent during certain maneuvers, increase the value of this parameter.
This value is individual for every model, it depends on many factors such as: your rudder mechanics, head speed, etc. Before setting this parameter, it is recommended to first set the gyro gains.
If the value is too high, the tail can oscillate or wag. It can also cause poor stop performance. This value should be between 150 and 180.
For brushless servos it is recommended to increase value by 10-15 points.</translate>

====<translate>
EXPERT SETTINGS</translate>====

<translate>
For fine tuning you can set the following parameters. Normally it is not needed to configure any of these parameters.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
Settings-expert.png</translate>|center|550px]]

'''<translate>
Rotor Head</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Select Rotor Head type of your helicopter. Available options are:
*''Flybarless'' - for flybarless helicopters.
*''Flybar (Stablizied)'' - for flybar helicopters with flight behavior closer to flybarless - more stable.
*''Flybar (Pure)'' - identical flight behavior as without Spirit unit.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rotor Rotation Direction</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Parameter to determine rotation direction of the main rotor. In the most cases it is in the clock wise direction - parameter is unticked.</translate>

'''<translate>
Cyclic phase</translate>'''<br /><translate>
The value indicates the angle by which the swashplate is virtually rotated.
For example a value of 90 will rotate the elevator to aileron. This feature is recommended for models with multi-blade rotor heads. For most other models, we recommend a zero value.</translate>

'''<translate>
Anti-Gravity</translate>'''<br /><translate>
You can equalize throw for a positive and negative pitch. So that pilot can feel it flys similarly fast up and down. With increased value pitch difference for positive and negative collective will enlarge. It also calculate such difference based on attitude of the model. When it is skids down Anti-Gravity apply in an inverted manner. In other words pilot will feel that the model is lighter in the air. Recommended rather for a smaller models.</translate>

'''<translate>
Pitchup Compensation</translate>'''<br /><translate>
For compensating unwanted helicopter tilting during a fast collective pitch change increase the value until behavior will disappear. This unwanted effect is mostly visible at the Elevator axis. With Pitchup Compensation you can eliminate this effect, however the value shouldn't be higher than really needed. Too high value will lead to overcompensating in the opposite direction. Value 1 will work well with the most models. Bigger models such as 700 - 800 class might require higher value. The most visible effect can be seen in a Fast Forward Flight while changing Collective Pitch quickly. Advanced pilots can see a benefit during pirouetting maneuvers.</translate>

'''<translate>
Pitch Pump Booster</translate>'''<br /><translate>
To achieve flybar-like collective pitch behavior, you can increase the value until desired feeling is achieved. Remember that higher values are too demanding for power supply and servos on the model.</translate>

'''<translate>Swashplate Integral</translate>'''<br /><translate>Integral Gain of the Regulation loop for adjusting precision and stability of the model during all maneuvers.This gain can change behavior of the model to a very big degree in terms of flight characteristics. Recommended to adjust only by very experienced pilots. For all other pilots we recommend to set value 9. Lower value will feel less precise and model will behave more natural - as a Flybar. High value can feel more robotic with extra locked in feeling. Difference can be visible mainly during strong wind. Too high value will lead to unwanted oscillations and Elevator bounce back during sharp Elevator inputs.</translate>

'''<translate>Swashplate Dampening</translate>'''<br /><translate>For reducing odd effects of too high Swashplate Integral, hard or slow mechanics pilot can increase the Dampening value. It is mainly helpful for sharp maneuvers for avoiding odd oscillations or a bounce back effects at the Swashplate. With this parameter you can achieve a crisper and precise Swashplate stopping. Recommended is to set the value only as high as really needed. Too high value will result in unstable behavior, because higher value is increasing decay rate of Integral. If no stopping issues are observed even with 0, it is recommended to leave at 0. Higher value will also reduce reaction time of stopping.</translate>

'''<translate>Swashplate - Stop Smoothing</translate>'''<br /><translate>After adjusting Advanced/Elevator Filter parameter to the highest value that works the best, you can improve Elevator Stopping performance even further with this Stop Smoothing. It will temporarily increase value for Elevator Filter but only during stopping maneuver..</translate>

'''<translate>
Rudder - Control Type</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
With µSpirit units it is possible to enable support for the tail rotor driven by dedicated motor. In this case two ESCs are used, where Rudder ESC is connected at the CH4 port. Important thing is to set ''Limits/Rudder ESC - range'' appropriately since these are defining available Throttle range for the ESC from 0 to 100%.
Normally this parameter is available in the Setup Wizard.</translate>

'''<translate>Rudder - Stop Smoothing</translate>'''<br /><translate>For making Rudder Stopping smoother, while maintaining crisp beginning of yaw rotation. It is recommended to first reduce Rudder - Stop A/Stop B before increasing Stop Smoothing parameter. This parameter is perfect for Low RPM setups or heavy/Scale models. Increase the value until you will achieve smooth stopping as per your requirement.</translate>

'''<translate>Motion Sensor Filter</translate>'''<br/>
<translate>Algorithm for motion data filtering.
*''Standard'' option for the most helicopters - Recommended.
*''Low Latency'' option for improving Gyro response to a motion allowing higher precision and better flight characteristics - available for Spirit GT, GTR, W1 units.
*''Strong'' option is for operating at helicopters with extremely high Vibration Level with no way of reducing them. Recommended only for Gassers, Jets or Nitro motors.
</translate>

'''<translate>
Stick deadband</translate>'''<br /><translate>
Determines the area, around center stick, where the system does not recognize any stick movement. If channel readings are inprecise the value should be increased. This can be verified in the Diagnostics tab. This parameter does not replace the Exponential function. Recommended value is 6 - 10.</translate>

'''<translate>
Stabi/Rescue Algorithm</translate>'''<br/>
<translate>
Algorithm that can make Stabilisation, Rescue and GeoLink modes more precise.
*''Standard'' option for the most helicopters - Recommended.
*''High Precision'' for models with low vibrations - Electric models with smooth mechanics.
*''High Immunity'' for models with high vibrations - Combustion models.</translate>

'''<translate>
Rescue - Smoothing factor</translate>'''<br /><translate>
To reduce demand for model mechanics please increase the value. It will make a slower movements to reduce current spike and possible overload of the BEC/battery. This will increase safety of the Rescue maneuver, however too high value will result in a slower recovery.</translate>

'''<translate>
RPM Sensor Filter</translate>'''<br /><translate>
In case that your RPM sensor has noisy output then RPM readout can be very unstable. This can lead to various problems with Governor. There may be a problem with spool up, flight mode switching or head speed jittering. To make RPM readout very precise, you may need to increase the value.
On the other hand, too high value can lead to a delay, that is unwanted for optimal Governor performance. So the value should be as low as possible while RPM readout is still precise. Variation of 1-20 RPM against the Requested RPM is optimal.</translate>

'''<translate>
Autorotation Bailout rate</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
When performing autorotation the Bailout feature is available. The bailout is used to recover the headspeed faster than normally in order to achieve flying RPM. In this way pilot can regain full control of the model and continue in the flight. When using Spirit governor you can use this parameter to precisely set spoolup rate during the bailout. When Spirit governor is disabled, this settings has no affect.</translate>

'''<translate>3D Master mode</translate>'''<br /><translate>Special mode that will open hidden possibilities of the Spirit units and allow tweaking of each axis separately together with access to a PID regulation parameters. This is recommended only for very skilled pilots with aim for thorough fine-tuning. For anyone that like easier and faster tuning it is recommended to not use this mode. More about this mode can be found here at the [[3DMaster|3DMaster mode]] page.</translate>

====<translate>
TELEMETRY SETTINGS</translate>====

<translate>
ESC Telemetry is feature that enables transmission of the telemetry variables from the ESC to your radio. Covered in the [[ESC telemetry|ESC Telemetry page]].</translate>

=== <translate>
BACKUP TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
Here, you can save the settings to your Spirit unit before powering off, you can also save the settings to your computer here, Should you need to reload them at a later date.</translate>

Remember to save the settings each time you want to store the settings permanently. You must press the Save button. Otherwise, the changes will be lost after the Spirit FBL unit is turned off.</translate>
}}

'''<translate>
Bank Switching</translate>'''<br /><translate>
In case that the Bank Switching is enabled, you can save the settings from single bank or even all banks. To see the differences between Banks you can use Bank Comparison feature.</translate>

=== <translate>
UPDATE TAB</translate> ===

<translate>
If you want to update the firmware, you can do so in this tab.</translate>

[[File:<translate>
10en.png</translate>|center|600px]]

'''<translate>
Firmware</translate>'''<br />
<translate>
First select Firmware from the '''Firmware List''' that you want to flash to the unit. Once the firmware is selected, press the ''Flash button''. The upgrade progress will be displayed here. After completion, a confirmation dialog box should indicate a successful update. Firmware will be started automatically after flashing.


You can restart the Spirit Settings software when unit will reinitialize and continue with setup.


Configuration of the unit is not changed, so you do not have to Save/Load it, yet it is recommended to do a Backup before updating.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
Firmware update can be made only with Internet Connection. It is downloaded automatically from Spirit Server.</translate>}}
<p></p>

== <translate>
BANK SWITCHING</translate> ==

<translate>
This functionality allows you to switch between saved settings during a flight. Switching is done through the transmitter, so that channel's value is changed.
This mean that a Bank can store one unique settings. The unit is able to store 3 different banks.


With a transmitter you are able to use a three position switch to switch freely between banks.


Bank switching is disabled by default, so you can decide whether it is useful in your application. You have to activate it by the assignment of ''Bank'' function in the ''General/Channels'' window. Generally, it is assigned to channel 7.</translate>

:''Bank 0'' – <translate>
active in range of lower third (impulse under 1400μs).</translate><br />
:''Bank 1'' – <translate>
active in range of mid third (impulse between 1400μs to 1640μs).</translate><br />
:''Bank 2'' – <translate>
active in range of upper third (impulse above 1640μs).</translate><br />

<translate>
Initial settings for ''Bank 1'' and ''Bank 2'' are equal to ''Bank 0''. ''Bank 0'' allow you to configure all parameters, while ''Bank 1, 2'' does not allow to set main parameters. For safety, ''Bank 1 and 2'' does not allow you to set any main parameters.


The Bank switching is great for switching between flight styles, sensor gains for low or high RPMs, for slow acro or 3D. Alternatively it can be used just for tuning your settings.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
If the software (or a transmitter integration) is connected with the unit then bank switching by assigned switch of the transmitter is temporarily disabled. Then, Bank switching is performed using the software in bottom part of the window.
When a bank is switched using the software it is necessary to save your settings
to the unit before you switch Banks, or your settings will be returned to the previous (unchanged) state.</translate>}}
<p></p>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
Always close the software or any connected app before flying. Otherwise it will be not possible to change Banks by assigned switch of your transmitter.</translate>}}
<p></p>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png|18px|]] <translate>
To verify that the Bank switching is working properly, please start the software and look at the Diagnostic tab. There you can see Bank indicator with the channel bar. Try to change position of assigned switch. If everything is correct, you will see that the Bank number will change there.</translate>}}

== <translate>
GOVERNOR</translate> ==

<translate>
Governor is feature that helps to maintain constant RPM of the rotor head. You can use this feature instead of internal governor from your ESC or other governor. It is designed to work with electric, nitro and gasser helicopters. As result flight performance can be even better.


To achieve proper function it is very important to perform correct configuration. First from all make sure that internal governor is disabled in the ESC.


It is necessary to disassemble rotor blades from your model prior to the governor setup. Do not make any adjustments with motor turned on.


It is required to use Throttle output from the unit when using Spirit Governor.</translate>

Admin:

<translate>
CrossFire CRSF is bi-directional protocol designed by Team Blacksheep (TBS) which is supported by all Spirit units except Spirit 1 and micro Spirit. It is for sending all channel data and telemetry at the same time. This mean that you do not have to connect anything else except 4 wires.</translate>
<translate>
Based on original CRSF protocol new ELRS protocol was designed which is also fully supported by Spirit.</translate>

<translate>
There are multiple receivers and satellites with CRSF/ELRS support.</translate>

= <translate>Binding Procedure</translate> =

Binding is two side operation, in which Radio and Receiver is put into the Binding mode at the same time. Both will learn how to talk to each other and from this time they will transmit both channel data, telemetry and allow remote configuration. Bind Date are stored at both sides. Model that is created in your Radio is matched with one specific receiver.

== Spirit W1 ==
<translate>In order to Bind Spirit W1 with your Wave radio use supplied <b>Bind plug</b>.</translate>

{{Info|[[File:Info.png]] <translate>If Spirit W1 is new (no Bind Data available) a Bind Plug is not required and you can continue with the following section '''Binding with Wave'''.</translate>}}

[[File:spirit-air-logo.png|256px]]

Spirit Air is R/C Model Simulator developed in-house by Spirit System.
It features advanced physics simulating full flybarless unit in the real life environment.

Thanks to using the most advanced rendering Vulkan technology it can fluently work natively on the '''Spirit Wave''' radios.
You can train at any moment without a computer or internet access.

[[File:spirit-air-2.png|600px]]

== Installation ==

Spirit Air can be installed on any Wave radio system from the '''App Store'''. Please open '''Apps/App Store - Games - Spirit Air''' page. Then press Install.
After downloading and installing you will be able to find it directly at the '''Apps - 2nd page'''.

== Features ==

Presently Spirit Air has full support for 3D Helicopter acrobatics including Autorotation.

=== Model Steering ===

Model steering is done through radio gimbals and is mapped according your Stick Mode. This mean there is no need to do any calibration or adjustments.
Similarly Throttle can be turned Off with Throttle Hold switch that is configured as Default at the '''Spirit OS - Configuration - Controls''' page.

=== Screen Mirroring ===

Screen Mirroring is fully supported by Spirit Air. In order to get maximum performance out of Wireless connection it was necessary to use special Low Latency protocols.
Our first option that we are introducing is through UDP/MJPEG stream to reach sub 50ms latency.

Current method is suitable for more experienced users, while we are working on a simple One click solution.

==== VLC ====

Using VLC media player you can open Stream at any Device that is supported by VLC, including TVs, Tablets, Smartphones and Computers.

First from all it is needed to get IP address of your device, where do you wish to display Video stream.

With Windows 11 PC you can do so in this way:
#Open Settings (press Win + I).
#Go to Network & Internet.
#Select: - Wi-Fi, then click on the connected network OR Ethernet (if using a wired connection).
#Scroll down to Properties. Find IPv4 address — this is your local IP address.

Then you can finally launch the Spirit Air.
# Start Spirit Air and enable Screen Mirroring
# Enter IP address of your target device and port. For example: '''"192.168.0.10:1234"'''
# Press FLY!

You can open Video Stream in this way:
#Download this file for VLC [https://spirit-system.com/media/spirit-air.xspf Spirit Air - VLC]
#Open downloaded file '''spirit-air.xspf'''. Stream should start immediately.
