"Oh, I definitely don't think it's that. They're already literally plugged in to the GoPro. It would be a waste of batteries and adding another unneeded point of failure to have it communicate via WiFi when they already have physical access."
"No, the GoPro's internal wifi range is not nearly long enough for that. The Solo is connecting to the GoPro locally on the craft, and the Solo's computer handles talking to the GoPro and providing that interface to the ground controller"
I finally added a GoPro to my first fixed-wing drone this past weekend. I was excited to see how it would look like from the air when under autopilot control.I also took this opportunity to figure out how to use some of the autopilot-specific…

"I am having the exact same issue, but I found something even more strange: If I plug directly in to my Pixhawk via USB, Mission Planner STILL shows link quality at or below 20% (although it's much snappier so I am dubious).
Have you tried plugging…"

I am having a hell of a time getting even initial setup complete with my brand new Pixhawk.I have noticed that the connection via my 3DR radios was being reported as 20% "Quality" (80% packet loss). I plugged in directly to the Pixhawk via USB to…
