Well my screen looks like this. When I hit connect, it does shows on the UI that it has connected but then, i do not see anything changing on the left bottom side info window. Also when I hit center on UAV nothing happens. Note that current home is some default value.
When hit on initial setup screen, it shows option to install firmware where i try to click ArduCopter vX.XX, but nothing happens on the UI front.
just to add, when i connect my computer to sololink, wifi between my iphone n remote control, my computer seem to recognize location of my UAV and i see some data on the right hand side. However, map does not update because at this point my computer have no internet. Also, I expect data to change if i move drone around/tilt but nothing happened.
Note: I have not done any cable connection between drone n computer and not sure if thats a compulsory step from 3DR Solo
You just need to connect your computer WiFi to the SoloLink Network. APM Planner 2.0 will then start receiving packets. You don't need to connect using the button.
However i am witnessing frequent link lost warning, and i have to manually disconnect and connect APM2. Also although my drone is at ground level and stationary it shows these param, does it need some calibration?

Is this what you're looking for?

Well i tried this, but i have two problems:
1- When computer is connected to SoloLink, computer is not connected to internet and hence map inside APM does not load properly.
2- When I flew copter in this state using remote , i expect flight data in APM to change but nothing happened.
2)AP2 should update data, seems odd.
(BTW: APM refers to ArdupilotMega autopilot, use AP2 to mean APM Planner 2.0)
I just verified on my machine and it seems to be working.
It has started working for some reason, yay!

I take a look at the audio announcements saying link dropped. I think that is in error. It's connected just fine.
The solo does send text messages for 3D fix when the GPS is not locked way too frequently, I think that causes the issue with the audio logic.
