Hello, I have been trying to get my stock 3DR Solo up and running after a few years. I started out with some ancient firmware and updated it to OpenSolo 3.0.0 over SSH before updating it to the latest version of OpenSolo. When I did that, it was able to connect but I was having some trouble with video feeds and the gimbal, as well as connection issues with SidePilot. As a result, I attempted to downgrade back to 3.0.0 to see if it would resolve itself, and from there, issues started popping up. I was unable to connect with the controller anymore, and it was unable to pair. After some various troubleshooting steps, I decided to factory flash the SD cards manually.
When I did the copter SD card, the Win32 imager application indicated there was not enough space on the disk for the image, but I pressed on regardless. After flashing both the controller and the copter, it now just sits there with the main lights all showing green, and after several seconds, the orange LED on the board starts flashing about once per second. I do not hear any beeps or any other form of feedback, the drone is now completely silent. Thinking the SD card might be corrupt, I tried again with a larger card I had lying around, and the same issue occurs. I have attempted to factory reset by holding the button for 10 seconds while powering on, re-pair by pressing for several seconds, checked every connection I could find, and nothing has made it make a noise or do anything but sit there with the green lights on.
Additionally, when I plugged the cube into my computer and connected to the COM port on 115200 baud, nothing appeared in the console. I have the settings as 8N1, but I'm not sure if that's the correct settings.
I'm at a loss for what's going wrong here, and I haven't been able to find any useful information about this. Does anyone have ideas for where to look?
