My Solo is new so I have nothing to compare with. I did notice an unacceptable drift until I calibrated. Now it seems very stable.
Is there a video showing how to properly calibrate the compass? The diagrams in the app don't really makes sense to me and I am never sure if I am doing it right.
I could just never understand if you keep the nose always facing north or if you are instead supposed to change it to match the diagram and always keep the end over end rolling parallel to north or not. Wish the diagram had a little North indicator or something!Does it complete? If so I wouldn't worry.
I tried following it also and never felt like I was keeping up with the sequence either. It seems that as long as you rotate front to back and sideways (both directions) and then both 45 degree angels that it completes and all is fine.
Any updates from Solo on a fix for this !!!
Yes I am dealing with Diego and just finished a factory reset and a re calibration of compass and level and then flew a test and I still have a major drift problem when in fly mode. I also did a video of the test and I will be sending it our tonight. I just sent them the logs.
Thanks very much for the update!! I am just waiting before I doing anything or hear back from support my self.
What can be done to improve the hover stability? All of a sudden my solo does not come close to staying in place when it is suppose to. It drifts and when drifting pause does not work.
Any ideas what I can try.
Thanks in advance.

I too had the Drunken Sailor problem! Hovering all over the place, probably in 5-8 foot range. During a simple 2 point cable cam, it swayed about 4-6 feet back and forth over the 200 feet of the cable cam. It was a bit breezy but under 10mph. Not happy.@Wacky roger, I have the same problem after the 2.4 update.
Before, Solo was rock solid even in light wind. Now it flops around like a drunken sailor.
This is an amazing analysis of the situation! How do you do this, anyway?View attachment 3808 I am reading this thread with high interest.
I am experiencing an occasional drifting by ~6-9 ft under windy conditions during the first 10 minutes of flying.
It's getting better over time, and by the second battery Solo is finally becoming rock stable.
What I found so far are heavy vibrations along the z axis att the beginning of the first flight of the day, well over the maximum allowed threshold of 60m/sec2. Vibes decrease over time as Solo is getting stable (see picture). (and yes, props are well balanced and motors are ok)
I also noticed a huge compass offset on my Solo along the z axis of 310 (threshold +/-150) which indicates a compass interference.
I don't know if this correlates with the drifting, nor the root cause for the offset, but it would potentially explain why some are experiencing drifting while others are doing fine.
I f you could do me a favor, could you please post your compass offsets here and note if you are experiencing drifting or not.
Thanks!
