Hello...

I've had this Solo for 5 days and am very unfamiliar with it.

The "firmware 1.5.2 file"...
is this it ---> ArduCopter-v2.px4


When I unzipped the download there were about 200 files, most with an .h extension, a few with .pde , .c , .msg !

I'm a bit confused.


Can somone give me the name of the file or files I need to put in the /firmware "folder" of Solo?
Or should I not install v 1.5.2 ? and leave the current version 2.4.2 ?

A few of us have upgraded and tested the latest release of the Autopilot firmware. Follow these steps to manually upgrade your firmware on the Solo from a computer running Windows with WiFi:

1. Download the firmware, ArduCopter-v2.px4. Use firmware tagged 'Latest release'.
2. Download and install FileZilla or WinSCP.
3. Turn on Solo and Controller.
4. Connect to Solo's WiFi network from your computer (similar to how you would connect your phone to it via the app).
5. Launch FileZilla or WinSCP and connect to Solo using it's IP address '10.1.1.10' for the Host and 'root' for the Username and 'TjSDBkAu' for the Password. Use port 22.
6. Copy/transfer the firmware to /firmware on Solo.
7. Reboot Solo.
8. After reboot the LED's on Solo should change colors (party mode).
9. Accomplish a Level Calibration.

Enjoy!


Follow these exact instructions and you will be fine......

I was a newbie & I eventually figured it out with some coaching......
