    Solex for Solo

    Well, FWIW I'll see it if you post a question.

    Solex app when prompted just keeps grog to wifi sittings and won't open. Anyone have ideas? Thanks!

    It's not complicated at all. You keep getting prompted for wifi settings because Solex hasn't connected to anything on that device yet. When you hit Connect, Solex takes you to the wifi page to select an AP to connect to. Once you've selected one and press Back, Solex looks at the wifi name...

    Using Solex with 3DR Solo to fly a path

    Ah, that's easy. :-) If you also bought the Missions plug-in for Solex, there's a "Missions" item on the main menu. Open that, pan to your property, create a mission, save it, then open the flight screen, open the "Layers" view, pick the mission you created, upload it to the vehicle, and that's...

    Solex for Solo - multi-battery survey missions

    Hi, Do do a multi-battery mission, the process is fairly simple. Start the mission and let it run until the vehicle either RTLs because of low battery, or you switch to some other mode than AUTO and fly the vehicle home. Land the vehicle, power it off, swap batteries, and turn it back on again...

    SOLEX App and 3DR Solo

    Hi, I can help. :) To upload the mission, you go into the flight screen and click the Map icon at the bottom right of the screen to get to the map. Then click "Layers" at the left, and pick "missions" from the list. Any missions you've saved will be listed there. Click on one and it will load...

    Antenna tracker in Solex ..

    Interesting idea. So you're thinking of a pointer on the screen to tell you which way the vehicle is from your location? That is, suppose you're facing north and you fly to the northeast. An arrow in a widget on the screen would point up and to the right the appropriate number of degrees, and...

    Adding new camera in Solexapp

    Just so I'm clear on what you mean: Are you looking for the ability to download the mission on the vehicle into Solex?

    Solex Missions, Tower, Mission Planner, or QGroundControl

    Hi, Surveys might actually be easier to do in Mission Planner than they are in Solex. The good news is, I can update Solex and add whatever features are missing. With that in mind, let's talk immediately-calculated parameters. What parameters are those? I'm sure I can make Solex do the same...

    No flight log for Solex mission

    Hi, I think I can help with this. If you're running an old version of the Solo firmware, you need to install the "Photo Events" package on your Solo so it will transmit camera events to Solex when pictures are taken. When you do that, you'll see a Flight Log (NOT Dataflash logs called...

    Solex for Solo

    Yes, it should fly to the edge of the circle and then point at the center of it as it flies around it.

    Solex for Solo

    Ah, so in Solex, I use ROIs a lot. The way they work is like this: Suppose you drop 5 waypoints on the map, then drop an ROI. The waypoints will represent the path that the vehicle flies, and the ROI won't be included in that. To actually use an ROI, click on the waypoint where you want it to...

    Help With Solex App

    That is correct. Newer Android versions require you to have the Location Permissions setting turned on before some WiFi functions will work properly, because it's possible to determine someone's general location based on the WiFi access points they're connected to. Without Location permissions...

    Worried

    Yeah, that sounds mostly like an ESC. If you spin the motor mechanically (with it turned off, install a prop and then smack it with your finger to spin it) you'll hear kind of a little "whirring" sound if the motor is new, and the same sound accompanied by a bit of a growl if it's older. Unless...
