Ok, I went through the process without a new charger/discharger. I just used the props on high to drain it and the stock 3dr charger. Drained to 13.95V or so. The battery now reads ~3800mah. I may break down and buy a charger. Someone recommended this on Amazon.com Or I may just try again...

Level and Compass Calibration The firmware update instructions point to Post Install Instructions I went through the Level Calibration first and that worked fine. There was a message on the controller about needing compass calibration which I ignored as I was going to do that next. After...

Firmware update Following Install via Solex App I have Solex v2.2.7 Had an issue where the Firmware Updates menu option was not showing up. Stopping the app and restarting seemed to fix that. The next issue was not seeing the download options: The fix is setting the default vehicle type to...

Thanks, I emailed Kelly about Solex and he pointed me to JB's 3DR Solo Owners Group | Facebook which seems to have a lot of great guides including this one. It seems like the guide expect that you have installed Open Solo before doing the battery calibration, so I may try that first.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I have a new battery Amazon.com I don't have a hobby charger. I guess I could get one. How often will I want to be draining the battery? Maybe worth it so I can charge at a slower rate as well? It seems like others say you should discharge down to 12V but 14V is...

Is the purpose of the battery calibration just to get the percentage reading to be accurate or are there other reasons? My Solo seems to start beeping when the gets down to ~30% charge but the voltage is still quite high. It sounds like this is the way to fix that? I am trying to drain the...

I see the Firmware Updates option in Solex. I saw a video where someone was having issues and their solution seemed to be restarting the drone or disconnecting and reconnecting and waiting a bit.

I see contact info [email protected] under "App support" on Solex - Apps on Google Play

I am also getting my old Solo up and running and it is hard to figure out the best approach for everything. It looks like Solex had a "Terms of use" update on Aug 23, 2023. Also I see contact info [email protected] under "App support" on Solex - Apps on Google Play As far as I know my...

I also considered BMSOne V2 Plug and Play but it was out of stock at the time and I decided to go with the cheaper option. I figure I can always switch to that in the future.

I am going to try and record everything I am doing as I try to get my old Solo flying again. This is meant to just be a place to record and share my experience. I will try to find answers in this forum or ask questions in Solo Help I may also try to put together a guide to help others. 1...
