    Solex for Solo

    No posts questions or anything in almost a year? Really? Am I totally in the wrong place now thinking I'm going to ask a question?

    Any ACRO mode flyers out here want to share your experience?

    I think I need to mess with air mode. That would allow fast controlled fast descents.

    Nope I've not figured it out yet.

    I'll eventually find them and report back.

    Any ACRO mode flyers out here want to share your experience?

    I see that. :) I may consider turning on air mode for these types of high speed drops if it applies.

    Any ACRO mode flyers out here want to share your experience?

    Thanks for the reply. I experienced some of the stock system's limitations yesterday. Not even in Acro mode. Was doing a high speed decent in Stabilize mode (altitude hold off). It comes down very fast and can climb really fast in this mode (bit too much demand on stock battery) cell...

    Opensolo / Solex Failsafe settings location?

    I feel stupid for even asking and that I should already know or actually might and have forgotten. I'd like to quickly verify the failsafe settings/actions for both RC failsafe and Low battery actions. Quickly looking through the app I'm not sure where the RC failsafe settings can be viewed and...

    I'm also really enjoying the better flight times with the camera and Gimbal off :) Still on the old original 2015 batteries. Not a whole lot of flights on them.. Maybe only 15 or so each now. And I bring 'em in with more than 30% remaining usually.

    Any ACRO mode flyers out here want to share your experience?

    I've been flying ACRO MODE for a couple of weeks now. I have a stock cube solo and running Solex and latest OpenSolo on the bird. I have the camera and gimbal removed for these experimental flights. Compared to other multirotors that I fly including an old slow 450 size flamewheel clone frame...

    3.3V ESC PWM vs 5V PWM How much am I really missing out on?

    Yes I already painfully realize how bad the stock GPS is.. Blows my mind they used this one from the gitgo- I usually fly in big open areas and manually bring it back in and land it manually without GPS. Mostly just to make sure I'm comfortable and used to flying it without GPS and bringing it...

    Opensolo 4 Trying to modify hostapd.conf on controller only and it's not cooperating.

    All kinds of reasons if you want to tinker with the wireless settings and make it work differently than it does by default. Or have the drone and/or controller connect to an external wireless network for any reason.

    Opensolo startup blue LED "scanning" circular chase pattern.

    I've got good eyes and I can see that clearly even at high speed everytime I power it up. It sweeps the ground it a cool perfectly sequenced circular pattern.

    Opensolo startup blue LED "scanning" circular chase pattern.

    Oh, they are most definitely in sequence! And it looks totally badass when it boots up. I am unable to accomplish this yet with the command line utility. Here's a video link of it frame by frame in a frame editor:

    Longer range Wifi *without* modifying TX.

    Hehe.. I'll have to find that. Should already be paired and not need re-pairing aside from fat-fingering the WiFi settings to the point where connectivity is lost. Which is super easy to do and mess up.
