    Noob question: Suitable 5200mah 14.8v Battery Replacement?

    Hi all, One of my stock solo batteries gave up the ghost and I'm looking to rebuild it. I'm not sure I'm ready to go the extended 9000mah route yet like on the other thread so I'm looking to get as close to a stock battery as possible. If I crack open my stock battery frame will something...

    Jesters and Green Cube

    I don't think you can. I wrote them and at first they we're willing to sell me some....but when I mentioned I just wanted a couple they referred me to Jester's drones. When I emailed him he said to check back in April. I haven't because I pounced on one on eBay. I'm also going to likely have...

    How to video showing 3.3v to 5v 3dr Solo Pixhawk 2.0 Mod

    Thank you for reporting back, Andy. I'll wait for more interest to send my two 2.0's to Jason to mod until I see if there is any interest in a group mod thing. If not I'll just send mine in. He seems like a really cool guy and is one more cog in the efforts to keep the Solo alive. :)

    Great to hear. I've been chatting with him and I think after the experience he might charge a little more but even at $65-80 each it's a deal considering a new 2.1 is $168ish minimum.

    How to video showing 3.3v to 5v 3dr Solo Pixhawk 2.0 Mod

    I lucked out yesterday a snagged a NOS green cube so once I install that in one of my Solo's I'll likely send in my other two stockers to mod so I have backups...

    How to video showing 3.3v to 5v 3dr Solo Pixhawk 2.0 Mod

    I'm in communication with the guy that does this mod. Anyone insterested in a group mod buy for this if it's a 5-7 day turn around? Considering a green cube and standard 2.1 are both $168 this seems like a viable option.

    I make good money but still think like a broke college kid. Don't ever lose that!! You'll have more wealth in life if you think that way! Anyway, I have two Solo's that I'd consider sending the pixhawks from to him. Might reach out to him and see if he would continue to do them for us. I'll...

    I think I'd pay double that...round $80 as the green cube is about $160 right? That'd be half the price and would probably be a money maker for the guy if he takes 30ish mins plus postage.

    3DR Solo with LiIon 9000mAh battery | up to 30min flight time

    Actually...just reading through the docs on Solex and it looks like the battery mod might be able to be performed using the "remote commands" feature, no? Or is this interacting with the wrong computer? Sorry...I'm a total n00b to all of this (and Solo and Drones for that matter...)

    3DR Solo with LiIon 9000mAh battery | up to 30min flight time

    First off nice work!! The effort you have put into this is helping extend the life of the Solo platform quite a bit! Thank you for doing this! Really! I wonder if @Kelly could add these custom battery parameter's as a configurable in a future version of Solex?

    LineageOS 14.1 and Samsung Tab 8.4 Black screen in Solo and Solex App

    Thanks for the reply. It happens immediately. No resolution or combo of FPS settings makes any difference however if I launch Solex on my N5 it works fine. I think it's something with the unofficial lineage OS 14.1 and the Samsung Galaxy tab 8.4. I've tried disabling all of the display settings...
