3DR Solo CLI - Command line

Posted by Peter Hu on February 3, 2016 at 7:26pm

I wonder if someone can help me with this.  Recently, i purchased a 3DR Solo and decide to create some programming projects with its SDK.  Just starting off, i ran into issues already.  I have been trying to install the 3DR Solo CLI - command line, it seems the installation was fine. But i am having problem of when i type "solo info" or "solo wifi" to connect to the Solo, it just stuck at connecting.

C:\Windows\system32>solo
Usage:
solo info
solo wifi --name=<n> [--password=<p>]
solo flash (drone|controller|both) (latest|current|factory|<version>) [--clean]
solo flash --list
solo flash pixhawk <filename>
solo provision
solo resize
solo logs (download)
solo install-pip
solo install-smart
solo install-runit
solo video (acquire|restore)
solo script [<arg>...]

C:\Windows\system32>solo info
connecting to Solo and the Controller... <-------- this the part it stuck at for very long time!!!!!!

does it have something to do with line 621 and 359 of threading.py?

      Solo install-runit is very buggy.  If solo install-runit does not work for the first time, reboot and try again.  If it still doesnt work, do solo install-smart once more, then solo install-runit.  Like i said, its buggy so you'll just have to play around with it.

      hello Peter,

      After rearrange the company wifi, finally go the password changed to simple text and get solo connected to internet.

      solo install-smart was completed without issue

      however solo install-runit ran into 

      busybox-1.21.1-r1@cortexa9hf_vfp_neon is not available for down loading

      How do I resolve the issue.

      Thanks.

    I'm having a very similar issue! Did you ever resolve this problem?

    • Peter Hu > Aaron Havens June 27, 2016 at 2:33pm

      i delete the old Solo CLI that didnt work, install the new updated version and also install the virtualenv and it worked!!!!

      p.s. I also had to SSH into Solo for the CLI to work.  If you dont, it will not work.

    • Yun Tak(YT) lee > Peter Hu June 27, 2016 at 4:03pm

      can you give us a walk thru for ssh

      I did

      ssh-keygen

      then

      ssh-copy-id doesn't work on my window PC. 

    • Yun Tak(YT) lee > Yun Tak(YT) lee June 27, 2016 at 4:35pm

      here is what I did with ssh. I got ssh-copy-id command not found error. I'm using Git version 1.9.5

    Hi Peter. Are you still stuck on this?

  • DS March 12, 2016 at 1:17pm

    Robert Hermans is right, If you use a ssh key, everything works.

    Into a GIT console:
    ----> ssh-keygen


    Then copy the key to the drone (connect to the solo wifi network):
    ----> ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub root@10.1.1.10       
    Enter password:  TjSDBkAu  
    To verify the connection without password: 
    ----> ssh root@10.1.1.10


    I can use solo info after without blocking at "connecting..."

    Hope it helps.
    Dan.

      I followed this procedure, and believe that the keys are in the appropriate place on the solo ^^^

      I'm still stuck on the "connecting to the controller" command. Is there any additional troubleshooting that needs to be done?

    • Daryl Wilding-McBride > Katie Gilbert March 30, 2016 at 11:16pm

      Hi Katie. Which CLI command are you trying to run? Are you able to connect to the controller from the app?

      Daryl.
