    Adding a multi spectral camera

    Hello, sorry for the time it took me to come back here. I use Tower to plan the missions, but mission planner works as well. Recently the app Pix4D capture has compatibility with Solo, so it also works to plan missions. For triggering I set micasense to take a picture depending on the overlap...

    Adding a multi spectral camera

    Actually the flight time is now at 13-15 minutes. I didn't use it fully the last time. But I only fly with micasense and a small power bank. If you are planning on using the gopro on as well, the flight time will certainly decrease. But I'm happy with the results, Solo is a very good drone and...

    Adding a multi spectral camera

    From what I've read, you can indeed trigger cameras with the 5V output, but micasense doesn't have a battery, and it need 2A for that. Since VCC Battery pins is limited to 1.1A, you still have to power the camera with an external power source, like a power bank. I've tested micasense on board...

    Adding a multi spectral camera

    Hello! I used to use Mission Planner, but since I bougth Solo I'm using Tower to plan the missions. I'm planning on testing Micasense on Solo this week (if the weather helps) with the 3D printed mount. I'm printed a mount that is attached to the camera and has Vibration Damping Balls. I agree...

    Adding a multi spectral camera

    Hello, Actually I'm in the same position. I have a Micasense and a 3DR solo. I designed 3D parts and printed to apply to solo and fly with the camera pointed down. Although I think it is possible to combine the micasense and use it with pixhawk, I don't think I will be doing that for now. Have...

    Solo with Droidplanner 2

    Thank you very much for your reply! I bought the Asus Zenpad s 8.0 Z580CA because on the 3DR online chat I was informed that it would work. I've tried the beta version as well, but it also doesn't work. I'm going to return the asus, and buy the Nexus 7 2013. This way I can work with both the...

    Solo with Droidplanner 2

    Has anyone ever used the 3DR Solo with the Droidplanner 2? I know Tower is better, and it should work with Solo, but on my Asus Zenpad s 8.0 Z580CA Tower crashes. Also, while on "auto" mode, the Solo controller loses control (but still has connection). What should i do to abort the mission and...
