I received my new Solo last week, very psyched. I believe I have successfully made the first preflight updates. Although during the update the process stalled after the controller restarted. At this point I had the "Controller Updated" with the green check display. The next step was to press the A button, so Solo can restart to complete the update. The display changed to "Waiting for Solo" per the manual, but LEDs never turned green and the controller display did not return to the takeoff screen. Eventually, the "waiting for Solo" display went black, almost like it timed out. An alert did flash across the screen that said something to the effect that Solo did not like being near metal objects. Don't know if it was due to the kitchen sink or my metal roof, but I went outside and restarted Solo. I finally got the white and red LEDs and the standard fly screen. Here are my update versions:
APP 1.3.1
Solo 1.3.0
Auto Pilot 1.2.19
Gimbal. I have not installed my gimbal yet.
Controller 1.3.0
Controller firmware 1.2.6
3DR Services 1.5.0
Does that look correct?
Also, I was asking Ludwing from 3DR why I could not select the solo menu under Setttings, turns out that Solo must be on too. Ludwing was kind enough to send me a note the next day wanting me to pair the controller to Solo. I have already spun the motors up with no props just to see if they would work. Other TX and RX that I have purchased come paired from the factory. I don't get why I have to pair them again, but I tried per his suggestion. It appears to me that I am unsuccessful trying to pair the two. I do not get the request to accept the pairing or the "Decected New Solo" display.
Any thoughts on why I need to pair?
Thanks so much for your thoughts.
