Which Tower software version are you using? I have 3.2 loaded on my Nexus 7 but it does not appear to have the scribe pen nor some of the other icons on the top of the screen. Very helpful video. Thank you.

Steve, Would you please construct a Solo GPS cable for me like the stock cable(Molex Clik-mate plugs on both ends + ferrite core) but longer so that I can mount the stock GPS module/antenna on a 4 in mast above the Solo. James Hubbard 1530 Spring Drive Wichita, KS 67208 Let me know cost/postage...

Thanks.

Would like to learn about your external GPS: which unit did you use and how does it perform? Thanks

Girlfriends? Might be a 4th amendment violation. Ha. Sounds like the ham radio hunts I did many years ago. Loop and tune for null.

Does anyone have the release notes for firmware1.1.12? It raises some interesting questions: Has the solo/controller transmit power been increased? The new iOS app has a selection for EU transmit power compliance which implies that we might have more power here in the USA. Maybe closer to the...

Ian Thanks for the good info.

Ian Thanks for the prompt reply. Have you tried also connecting and using the mag compass in the external Neo 7N? Would like to get the mag compass out of the leg where it does not like rebar in concrete. Which Neo 7N are you using? There seem to be many available. Do you think the Neo M8N...

Ian Any more tests with the external Neo 7N? Thanks.

Thanks for the good info. Just looking for a quad to fly for fun and some video and stills. Waypoint flying and good wind tolerance are also on my desired list. My Solo went back to Best Buy last month. Have been flying the 350QX both v1 and v3 for about 2 years and want to step up in features...

I am seriously considering the purchase of a X8+. Any recommendations please. Also, which ground station is the most stable? I am looking at Mission Planner and APM Planner. I prefer the Apple OS but can run Windows 7 using Bootcamp. Thanks.

mmccabe, Please check my math. If the Solo/controller have a transmit power of 10 mW or 10 dBm( as I have heard) and the rubber duck antenna has a gain of 2 dBi we get an EIRP of 12 dBm. I think the U.S. 2.4 gHz ISM EIRP limit is 36 dBm, EU limit of 20 dBm. That gives an actual to limit...

rrmccabe,

Lonewulph I believe the real issue in both GPS and controller/Solo com link problems is received signal strength. The GPS signal is very weak because it is being sent by satellites that are 12000 ( MEO constellation)and 24000 (WAAS)miles above the earth. Therefore any type of EMI can...
