Tower closes after connecting to Solo?

Markusauv · Jun 29, 2016

Hi,

My issue is that once I want to connect Tower to Solo to conduct pre planned missions the application connects, shows the "arm" and "dronie" icons on left down corner and informs that flight mode is loiter, but shuts down immediately soon after.

Taken from Solo app -> Settings -> System Info
App 2.3.0
Solo 2.4.0
Autopilot 2.0.20
Controller 2.4.0
Controller Firmware 1.2.11

Taken from Tower app -> Settings
Version Tower-v3.2.1
Firmware Version -
Vehicle Type Unknown

3DR services is v1.5.3

Hardware
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T715) 8.0
Android 5.0.2

Regards Markus

Hi Mark, have you tried shutting off your Tab and back on?
How 'bout deleting and reinstalling Tower?

Yes I have tried to reinstall Tower and restarting the tablet

Here are the three examples,

@Markusauv have you seen this thread? Just came to mind.
Solo Wifi Problem

If 3DR Solo App is running in background. Close 3DR Solo App and try again.
Tower 4.0 does not enjoy the company of 3DR Solo App.

Markus,

Something happened in the newer versions of the apps or the firmware. I haven't been flying my Solo as much for a while. About two weeks ago I got it out, updated everything and went out to do a few Tower runs. I could not get it to connect to both apps at all. I finally gave up. It used to work flawlessly and I always flew with both apps running, flipping between them frequently as indicated in this year old video. I'm guessing it's not going to get fixed.

You are both replying to a 4-month old post where the OP was using the old versions of virtually everything. One big difference in Solo app 2.4.0 and Tower 4 is that they are no longer dependent on 3DR Services.

JR said his problem occurred 2 weeks ago. Isn't Solo app up to 2.4.2 now?

I'm using Solo 2.4.0 with Tower 3.2.0. Do I need to upgrade Tower to 4? If I do, will it still work with Solo 2.4.0?

If I understand this, currently, Solo 2.4.2 won't work with Tower 4.
How 'bout Solex with Tower 4?

To answer half those questions... current Solo app is 2.4.0 which must be used with Solo FW 2.4.1 and above. However, current Solo FW is 2.4.2.

Don't know if those current users still have 3DR Services installed, but removing or being certain that isn't running may help - but I can't say that with certainty. Posts relating to the original problems were made when using SW/FW that still required Services.

My bad- l was confusing FW with SW. I am on FW 2.4.1-6, GoPro works great for me there.
