I am...

    GPS chip change (solder change)

    I wanted to use the stock pcb and had a bunch of m8n units so I desoldered the m7 and put an m8 on. Initial tests were really good. Going to fly it this week. Have some m9 units as well I might try after this. Has anyone done this? Stock pcb with an M8?

    Use Solo's GPS as Mock Location

    Hey been looking all over the internet for an answer.... I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to collect Points Lines or Polygons using the solo's gps location. So I can fly a road, being able to start and stop a line to be used in a GIS later. Or fly over a fence corner/some object and...

I have a custom quad that would benefit...

    My findings on GPS SHTUFF....

    OK, so I've been limited in my flight time here in the PNW, but I did manage to get a few test flights in with several different GPS modules. Clear sky, sunny day, 12 midday flights. Please note that the drones were turned on for about 10 minutes, left sitting at the launch area, turned off...

    Random thoughts and questions!

    So what is the resale market like for Pixhawks? I mean with everyone going to green cubes (ok, maybe there's still at least 2 people out there who haven't converted yet) there's got to be a surplus of stock cubes for the solo. So is anyone buying? I have some spares which I have no use for, 2...

    Experiences with low cost M8N GPS modules?

    About a week ago I installed a BN-800 GPS in my backup Solo. I thought that for under $18 it was worth experimenting with. I had hoped to get one of the V2 GPS shields from the 3DR store, but it seems they aren't available now. I ended up reusing the original one. I also created a design for a...

    GPS Upgrade, Newbie point of view

    As the newbie to the drone world and new owner of a 3DR solo in Portland OR (see, did the newbie introduction at the same time, that's multi-tasking that is!) and I thought I’d give my feedback on upgrading the GPS (just in case it helps with anyone’s decisions). Got my solo from B&H and was...

This morning I tried to fly it in the back yard. I brought it up maybe 10 feet had it loiter, and moved it around...
