  Hey,attention SOLO pilots; I have a solo that went psyco on me on the 3rd flight. No worries though, it had the updated version [black board] gps,I got it in my other solo and, WOW what a difference! However, the rest of it is available for whomever needs parts. You can contact me at  coop737588@gmail.com, for any info you need. Hope this helps someone.

  Any word on 3DR's plan for solo? My Hero 4 died and just found out that their are none available and no plans to support hero 5. Also no new gimbal and camera systems available. Anyone else in this situation?

  Anyone hear anything on the GPS RevB.? Been having issues with rather long sat acquisition times, and am looking to resolve this issue. Perhaps someone can direct me where we can purchase the newer model of GPS? Or even maybe someone from 3DR who has knowledge on the matter, wether or not they themselves will be offering the newer rev. 

  Thanks.

  An article in this month's Lidar Magazine about using the Solo for surveying landfill sites in the US.

  Real interesting when they break down the cost savings compared to conventional techniques!

  @Philip, great news, so where can I go purchase this plug n play optical flow that the firmware will recognize? Is there a link, or possibly a photo of the module? 

  The optical flow was also flown in the 3dr booth at NAB last year, but alas we still can't purchase it or are we able to? 

  Thanks, I'll have a quick look at the mod page when I get a free moment with regards to the wifi card (I was referencing this post earlier http://www.3drpilots.com/threads/mikro-tik-wifi-cards-help.4804/)..

   I sold my X8,Y6b,Iris+ to avoid ever having to mod again (with the exception of plug and play, or in the case of a wifi card a few screws), I unfortunately no longer have extra time to tinker with such things, as it takes away from time in the air.

  Optical flow works NOW! I am at NAB, flying SOLO in the 3DR booth, with optical flow...

  Has anyone attempted to get a vision positioning system going on the solo yet? Perhaps an inspire 1 or phantom 3 module for now until a solo specific one is released? Dji has been running them for over a year now.

  The added safety benefits when gps fails would be a very nice addition. 

  Also has there been any movement on upgrading range, perhaps a simple wifi card swap? I believe I read over on 3drpilots that some have had success with mikro tik cards (9582), but can anyone confirm this?

  Thanks Philip

  For the benefit of others it does appear to be fixed using a manual update of a file and also appears that 3DR will be up fixing it in a future update too.

  Good work by others and 3DR.
