"I watched the video and read DJI's product description on their web page, and I'm not thinking this is game-changing at all. It seems DJI has added some nice features to its Ground Station iPad app, but it only forms part of the end-to-end mapping…"
"MAVProxy is a great way to simulate GCS missions, including Tower. I wrote a how-to article here."
"We've come to similar conclusions after a series of field trials in Australia. Taking into account all the input costs, including the farmer's time, the business case for drones in agriculture only starts to get strong if unsupervised BVLOS flight…"
"Thanks for sharing this great tip."
"This issue explains why I can't insert the data in the EXIF on the GoPro, which removes (i) and (ii) as options.

(iv) looks too fiddly for multi-band imagery, so (iii) seems the way to go. I…"

"Thanks Chris. For agriculture applications, I've been using Pix4D or DroneDeploy's MapEngine for my post-processing. To use Solo in this toolchain, I would need (i) Solo to inject the geocode, (ii) have access to set it myself through DKPY, (iii)…"
"Hi Peter. Are you still stuck on this?"
"Hi Katie. Which CLI command are you trying to run? Are you able to connect to the controller from the app?
Daryl."
Daryl."
How are folks geocoding their photos taken from Solo w/ gimbal? I was hoping the lat/long would get injected into the EXIF header in real time through the gimbal's connection, but alas no.Daryl.
"The explanatory text includes "Autonomous flight is prohibited under the amendments until such time as suitable regulations can be developed by CASA", but goes on to define autonomous flight as "an operation during which an unmanned aircraft…"
"Thanks for confirming - I'll give it a try."
Hi,On previous Pixhawk-based copters I've used the excellent RFD900 radio modem for telemetry and control. Now I'm flying a Solo so I'm wondering whether anyone has hooked an RFD900 up to a Solo-and-Tower combination. Or to Solo and another…
"Just ordered a new battery for my Solo - thanks!"
"Thanks John for the user guide. The PTP preview command doesn't seem to be implemented, so no live video from the RGB camera."
"Thanks for the post John. I'm interested in attaching one to my Solo. Has Parrot given any hints about the API? I'm keen to know whether I can get a video stream from the RGB camera through Sequoia's USB, and also whether the Sequoia can be…"
"Thanks Michael. I tried to do that, but in Windows 8.1, the .NET framework is part of the operating system and I can't see how to reinstall it. I tried using the .NET framework repair tool, and turning off/on the .NET components in Add/Remove…"
