    Non- 3DR drone software?

    Hi all- I think I have my Solo's worked out and updated but have a question about another drone. I have a cheap Chinese GPS camera drone (folding). The name on it is "Patrol". The manual calls for downloading an app called LP Max, which I can't seem to find anywhere. Is there a generic Android...

    Is it the same process for Solex as it was in the original Solo program?

    I started out pointing North and turned it about a thousand times and the progress bar barely moved. I started wondering if I was supposed to turn it at some certain speed or what.

    Update: So, I flashed the SD cards in both drones, and flashed both cubes with little trouble. I just took them both out to a place with some open sky, and my main drone eventually connected. I couldn't get the second one to connect, but will try again later. I wasn't successful at compass...

    I think I have everything loaded. Before I put it back together, I see there was blue thread locker on the motor mounting screws. Should I be using LocTite when reinstalling?

    Ok, it flashed successfully. I'm still a bit confused about flashing the cube. Do I have to do that or is it a precaution? I see the USB port, and you mentioned just using mission planner to load it, but doo I have to have a cable connection between my tablet and the cube? Sorry to be so much...

    Complication. I have the SD card out and when I mount it to my computer it shows as four different drives. Two of which I can't access (says it needs to be formatted), the other two drives are named "Golden" and "Latest". They both contain the same four files. I assume this all means that I'm...

    Question(s) Is the file: OpenSolo4_Solo_and_reset.img the only thing I put on the Solo SD card? Also, do I need to format the card before flashing it?

    Thank you so much! One question. What should the file extension be? I got the .APJ file, but the other two don't have an extension.

    Well, I can't say this is a progress report... I tried pairing the new Solo to the updated controller (multiple times) with no luck. Controller is searching, but not finding. Can someone point me to the exact files I would need to put on the Solo SD card to make it compatible with the...

    I'll do that. If worse came to worse, can I load the firmware directly on the SD card in the Solo?
