I don't know if "root' is a pre-condition to install Google Play Services, but that is how I purchased Solex on my Kindle Fire 7". Except for changing the lights via Solex, I could not get Solex to work. I ended up purchasing a Nvida Shield K1 which runs Solex flawlessly.

Just in case a novice like me doesn't know how to "login as root" here are some instructions on how to do this to Solo's controller from a Mac: Turn on Solo's Controller Turn on Solo's Drone Go to System Preferences on your Mac. Click on Network Click on Wi-Fi in the box on the left. Click on...

Has anyone successfully run Solex on a Kindle Fire 7" (5th Generation)? At this point, I don't know whether it is a problem with the device or not. I have attempted to connect to two different Solos through their respective controllers. At one point I was able to change the lighting pattern on...

I just purchased Solex and am experiencing the same symptoms as in robhod's video with my Kindle Fire 7". It appears that the video is incompatible with the Kindle Fire's codec. Do I understand that your recommendation is to purchase a $239.99 Nvidia Shield K1? I wish that I had discovered this...

Thanks Jubair for the link to the thread with so many more data points than I could provide. Nonetheless, I've tested both of my Solos, both of them with the Solo Version 2 shield, at two different locations since installing the M8N board. At an industrial lot next to a large tree, the first...

The mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N/ 3DR SOLO Upgrade (mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N / 3DR SOLO Upgrade) is currently in stock. I recall checking several weeks ago and they were not in stock. I ordered one last night. At the moment there are 71 left in stock. Thank you mrreddog for the reference to the drotek...

Thanks, RickP. So for the Drotek Real Time Kinematics system, the Solo would need their $306 M8P GPS board, 3DR SOLO RTK GPS (NEO-M8P), and a base station in proximity such as the $371 tiny RTK with an antenna, Tiny RTK GPS based on u-blox NEO-M8P ? I realize that there is also a need for a...

By spline, do you mean the yellow colored path in the image below that deviates from the red colored vectors between each set point? In the case of the purple vectors between set points 4, 5, and 1 (purple arrows) the actual path (yellow path) could be quite precise, but between points 1, 2, 3...

I hadn't thought of how much the prop guards could act as a sail. Makes sense. Just ordered the mRo GPS board. I'll see how it works. Thanks again.

Thank you Pedals2Paddles for the thoughtful reply. I should not have expected my success in using set points at the beach would translate to the forest. I'll start with changing to the mRo GPS and finding a location where I can set a 10' bubble around the set points. Why is there so much...

Set up a Cable Cam down the center of a descending road and my Solo promptly ran into a tree branch 5' from the set point. (Propeller guards were ineffective against the branches.) Are there ways to increase the accuracy? Would the mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N/ 3DR SOLO Upgrade (mRo GPS u-Blox...
