    I totally don't understand this sd card...as I showed you in the photo I posted I get 8 disks images showing up...2 sets of four...the 'Golden' folder only shows 98mb of free space...There is one drive that has 7.1G but I get the same error no matter what drive I try and write the OpenSolo image...

    No...Im in a smaller town...Kelowna, BC. Ive been asking at the hobby shops and I just get vacant stares. So there is nothing I can run in Mission Planner to diagnose a wifi problem on the Solo?

    Ive also re-seated the sd card probably 10 times as well...it clicks and seems fine...that's all I can say about that.

    Whenever I plug a usb cable straight into the Pixhawk it goes green and orange then just green...then the annoying loud chime goes off and just keeps repeating...not sure what the point of that is but whatever. Yes, I tried to pair the two with no luck...Im not entirely sure if it's a timing...

    The Solo network from the controller shows up...I connect to it but all I ever see is 'the ssh manager could not connect to Solo'

    I haven't put it all back together yet but as it stands now when it starts up that Pixhawk chime doesn't shut off but nothing has changed...can't connect to the Solo on any level.
