    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    Thank you, I thought I had to somehow calibrate the arduino or something. So I can just shove the stuff back there, and do the calibration once everything is hidden. That is even better :)

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    This is exactly what I am doing now. Not with BMSOne, but this one here. I bought two 6750 tattu batteries, and I am trying to hide everything in the front there. I still have to do the calibration, and then hide the stuff. I will have a connector sticking out a bit more tho, but I plan to 3d...

    OpenSolo and python and such

    I believe it's prety much the same as using python on a regular ArduPilot... Read this: Welcome to DroneKit-Python’s documentation! https://www.ddmckinnon.com/2015/12/30/idiots-guide-to-dronekit-python-a-journey-to-whoz-chillin/ https://3drobotics.github.io/solodevguide/concept-dronekit.html...

    NEW to Drones - own a Solo and parts to upgrade - BUT dont have a clue how.

    no, not really. just follow the instructions. if you mess up, I think you can un-mess, if you havent upgraded the partition. (If you don't know, you probably haven't).

    Yeah, he made me promise to not bitch about the shipping time (his exact words haha). I honestly didnt care, I was on holiday. I t9ld him that, and he sent me one

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    oh btw, I was looking into BQ76942 Texas Instruments...and since there is a certain lockdown in the near future... I just might try to make something that resembles a BMS. I can do voltage without a divider, balancing, temperature sensing. If we can do charging also... :)

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    HI Could not make it work, so I got another gimbal, used. Slapped it on... Bam... I have gopro controlls in Solex. To be fair, I also replaced the MOBO in the gopro. And got another gopro lol. Got two working now. I guess I have to inspect the lower PCB of the gimbal, the one that connects to...

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    I dont know if this was meant for me... but here... I dont really want to sell something that is not really mine to sell :) Plus, selling from Slovenia would make an amazingly high shipping. "Luxury" of a small country with only one real post, I guess. but yeah, properly long wires and a case...

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    Thanks :) I wanted it to be smaller at first, but it does not need to be really. My plan was to make a PCB, like you did, but you did it already :D FOr the voltage divider, I was aiming at around 3.3v, it's a personal preference hehe. I actually got that plug from a guy from Canada, it was...

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    Sure I went with super glue approach :) I had an original 3dr APM power module also, so I used that, and an Arduino Micro. It was supposed to be just to test stuff, but it's just tooooo good heh. I might put some seethrough shrink tube over it, and use it as is. The only things I changed were...

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    Thank you I just finished soldering the module with NeoPixels. I just tested it by plugging into Solo. It works :) Thanks!

    Generic Battery + Arduino = Happy Solo

    HI guys Is there any difference between disconnecting the battery and turning it off with a button, like the original has? Does the button just inform the contoller or does the controller do something with that info? Thanks for your contributions, all of you!

    My first flight with Solo

    Had a picnic the other day, took Solo with me. Tried RibCaged gopro with original lens (waiting for others). here are some stills from 1080 clips. Focus is a bit off, I'm still waiting for that deep socket mount for M12 lens, so I hot glued it a bit. It's ok for a proof of concept :D

    My first flight with Solo

    thanks :) oh, this was actually my first SOLO flight, I've been flying ardu{copter,plane} since forever :) I have had my share of problems with gopro too... first thing, do a camera reset, and update it.
