    Ardupilot Fmw Install fail

    Have not been able to update the latest. I managed to download the update, reconnect to the bird but when I hit install and power cycle the bird, nothing happens, it does not go into bootloader mode and just reconnect s to the controller. Any ideas how to fix.

    Chibios 3.6

    I haven't had a chance to play with the solo all summer. Yesterday I picked it up and saw that the chibios version is up on solex. I already have the 3.6 rc6 Nuttx version installed.

    Bad AHRS

    Keep getting this error in Mission Planner. Copter is stationary, indoors, w/o GPS lock. Anybody know what this means? Will this be an issue when flying?

    Nags Head Drone Rules

    The legal analysis is off: states can make their own laws, what the federal govt can do is specifically enumerated in the Const. Without double checking, the ability to regulate airspace, to delegate to the FAA, etc, originates in the commerce clause. The fact that the feds regulate airspace...

    2D Goggles

    One thing I find a bit annoying is that it focuses your vision on the center of the screen, kinda makes battery info and altitude, anything in the periphery really, smudged up. May not play well with stronger prescriptions.

    Batteries

    Decided to take the solo out for a flight. Figured I would try a B&H battery I bought recently. I checked it in solotool, looked good, no decrease in capacity, good overall health, so I charged it and went to the park. I launch the solo, which went up about 5 feet, at which point it became...

    Mro GPS Settings

    I hear you, what I was saying is, all other factors being equal, I am now getting a lock in under a minute at home when I was at 0 satellites previously. That's after disabling Galileo.

    Mro GPS Settings

    So I disabled Galileo...huuge improvement in getting satellites indoor, like 10 in less than 30 sec, whereas I wasn't getting any indoors before with all 3 constellations enabled. Not sure if that will make much difference in the air though.
