having performed such an action with the board, connecting this method to a 5 volt jumper, how the usual 2.0 cube will work, in case of a reset or complete reset, whether it will work with this Pixhawk 2.0 jumper ???If you look at the pads before you do anything to the PH2.1, you will see a trace between the middle one and the one to the outside of the PH2.1. This is the trace that must be cut and the new solder bridge needs to be applied between the middle and the inner pad.
The middle pad is the VCCB of the level shifter and the outer pad is the default setting (3.3V) for the PH2.1. Cut that trace and bridge to the other pad which is 5.0V.
Your goal is to switch the VCCB of the level shifter from the default of 3.3V to the alternate of 5.0V.
proficnc or jesters should have this procedure for you to follow, but if you need any other assistance ---->> just ask.
Sorry guys!having performed such an action with the board, connecting this method to a 5 volt jumper, how the usual 2.0 cube will work, in case of a reset or complete reset, whether it will work with this Pixhawk 2.0 jumper ???
To switch a PH2.1 to PH2.1 Green you need to be comfortable soldering and working in very close quarters.
Procedure:
1. obtain PH2.1
2. open bottom where main connector is, this may require some skill with an X-acto knife.
3. locate jumper pads, that is what the pictogram above is for.
4. cut the small trace.
5. make a solder blob between the centre and the other pad.
6. check for shorts.
7. clean up flux residue.
8. put cube back together.
9. enjoy the "Green" goodness
10. don't fall out of the sky.
I don't have a PH2.1 so I can't take any detailed pix of the effected area, but I have modified 3 PH2.0 cubes as detailed elsewhere. I use a stereo zoom microscope, it helps a lot.
At this point, the mod is no longer needed. ArduCopter master now supports the slew rate limiter and all other solo compatibility matters. Open Solo 4 will get you that.
Operating with 5 volt signalling (green cube or modified black cube) allowed you to turn off the slew rate limiting. Technically it can blast off faster if you mash the sticks with the sliders at full rabbit. But honestly, the PID tuning we redid for use with the new slew rate code in master makes it perform really really nicely still. Unless you're racing this thing, I see no performance enhancement that would actually matter.
Hello! Recently received a Mini Carrier Board for the cube. I intend to connect the Solo cube .. Do I need to do the mod, which is a 3.3 / 5v switching discussion here? Is it enough for the Mini Carrier Board to have a jumper that has 5 volts on by default?

and another question ..)
i have two solo cube, one is great! and the other is the problem.
How do I get into this Solo cube to write the usual Arducopter firmware.? The Mission planner doesn't want to update this Solo Cube. (
i connected cube to usb. Сonnection and loading of parameters is good. But when I want to update the firmware the mission planner says that the unidentified board..
I would appreciate any thoughts or links where this can be read.
