Yup

Geotagging is built into the new MapIR cameras which I will be transitioning to. While a pain, I geotag during post-processing with present Survey2 cameras. Fly with 2 cameras that are synced/fired from PWM signal. Fixed wing are great for fields, but have issues when down in the canopy...

You are correct, uses its closed-source board with PX4 which is open-source. It can be changed to Ardupilot: Intel Aero RTF — Copter documentation

Got two Solo, but after two weeks of trouble-shooting an ailing drone thinking of replacing them. My use case is forest survey. Looking at Intel Aero development drone: RealSense - Intel® Aero Platform for UAVs | Intel® Software After tearing down Solo a number of times, want a drone that is...

Solution to this week long exercise: References: FB Solo Hackers (no idea why translating to ??? language) -> Kinakailangan ang Pagtiyak sa Seguridad Can't factory reset solo? Steps to fix: (These are the total steps I did, may not have to replace sd images if can do factory reset and get...

Yup, use it to power it up for now as I sort my wonderful torn-down Solo that attempts to imitate a brick.

You could also use solo-cli or Mission Planner. I use both in Linux.

Anyone have the correct parameters to open a communications channel to Pixhawk2 on Solo via its usb port? Looking for CLI in Linux, not MP. MP is not connecting either. $ screen /dev/ttyAMC0 57600,cs8 gives a bunch of weird symbols which usually means I have the wrong speed or parity. Tried...

Only have attempted a factory reset using the button on the piggy-back board. What is the "SSWT" button for? Don't see any other buttons inside the drone

Flashed new 8Gb sd card with Solo image. Booted up, green led, then both green with slow flashing orange, no screaming warning as long as powered Pixhawk up first with usb. Otherwise led starts green, then orange slow flash starts after 30+ seconds, then starts warning scream GPS shows...

All check out, no broken pins. This started right after rebooting once put drone back on its legs after the crash. GPS is plugged in and flashes with a green light. No warning if just power up Pixhawk via USB

I did in MP, failed to link Is actually a link to /dev/ttyACM0, which also does not open a channel in console or MP Tested boot up with all motor pods removed, same screaming warning sound with flashing orange led

A flop on its side after Tower put one side into a full power. Had it happen before with Tower, why I usually always manually takeoff before activating auto mission to perform forest surveys. Seemed totally benign, but something got out of kilter. Flashing new image: because through process...

OK, what would my parameters be then? Don't see how it would access the USB on my laptop. When plug the cable in get two new choices: /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-3D_Robitics I actually prefer CLI for any other this kind of diagnostics or config

TCP? That's for when using wifi, though I usually use UCP. I only have access to the Pixhawk via a usb cable directly plugged into its port $ sudo dnf install mono-devel $ mono MissionPlanner.exe
