APM Planner and SOLO
Hello.
Has anyone started using APM Planner with their SOLO for mission planning?
If you have, would you please share with me how I can make the connection. Do I have to dismantle my SOLO to get to the Autopilot or can it be done via the SOLO's wir
Ground station tablet requirements?
I got a Solo last week and took it out for its maiden flight on Friday. To my chagrin, the tablet mount doesn't fit a full size iPad. But I flew it anyway. Love it. Big fun.
Now, I had a Galaxy Tab 3 sitting on the shelf gathering dust so I decide

So here's a question: I've seen the mod for installing a uBlox M8N into the Solo with the goal being so you can see the GLONASS satellites as well as US GPS. But, according to uBlox's website specs, all the 7 series modules support GLONASS. So why

Waiting on my solo to arrive. But I wasn't able to find the answers elsewhere. Is the GPS coordinates from the solo GPS able to be easily written to the exif data on the images in the gopro?
Read more…charging batteries
I do not have a Solo... still enjoying my Iris+ a lot... but I see that Solo batteries seem to have a proprietary interface so that you can't use other chargers. Is this right? If so, what a PITA. With my Iris+ I am used to charging my 2 batteries

Does anybody know what is the best way to connect a FLIR infrared camera such as the FLIR VUE on the solo? I would like to attach it on the gopro h4b so when one moves the gimbal it moves the gopro and the FLIR together. I also want the FLIR to displ

3DR SOLO 1 from T Harper on Vimeo.
As some of you may have seen I did a recent blog on how I attached this gimbal to SOLO along with being able to control the tilt via SOLO's paddle.

Clearing Up Confusion on Logs
Since my bird is grounded this weekend I figured I'd play with the logs a bit.
However I've gotten a bit confused. Can you clear this up?
The controller is at 10.1.1.1.
The Solo is at 10.1.1.10.
The tlogs on the controller are more detailed then the Sol

Hi guys,
I've just got my hands on one of the new Bubl cameras (www.bublcam.com) so of course the first thing to do was mount it on my Solo.
Unfortunately as soon as I turn the Bubl on it kills the Solo's GPS reception - not only reducing the overall n

I hold the on button down on the fully charged battery in the solo. The leds on the battery come on from the center towards the outers, then turn off then come back on from left to right (showing charge level I think).
I then notice that propeller 4

Solo was showing 6 and 7 and even once 10 satellites but was still saying waiting or GPS.
Finally after several minutes it allows me to fly.
What is the cause of that?

I have searched YouTube and Google, but have not found a good detailed comparison of the Solo vs Inspire 1. We know they both fly, they both take pictures. What I want to know is the software side, more important the features.I know the Solo has Orbi

I left a couple smart batteries fully charged for a couple weeks. Got them out today to discharge down to 50% - just like I do with Iris batteries to keep them healthy.Turns out all the batteries were at 40 or 50%. Does this mean that Solo's smart ba

Hi Solo users,
I'm a developer looking to purchase my 1st drone and I'm not sure if the solo is the best option for me. It definitely looks like the best hardware + mounts the pixhawk2 which can't be purchased separately, but I'm concern that I might

For those wanting an interim solution to the gimbal issue, I've come up with a bracket to mount a Tarot 2D gimbal to the SOLO. I've made 2 configurations. The first has it's own battery tray and will not affect the warranty. The second does not as I

It's time to start using the Solo for why we bought it...detailed aerial mapping with a real camera.
So, we bought a GoPro-to-tripod mount and hung a Sony a5100 (with time-lapse app) off the bottom of the Solo:
Was a little nervous about the security o
