    WOW!

    I wasn't going to post but I cant help myself. I troll more often than I post and I am also new to this forum, but forums have been around for a long time and general edicat is to search before asking. I see it like this. The search function on this forum as well as the internet are very useful...

    Gimbal presets not working issue fixed

    Is it possible that the presets haven't been set to any specific area? Maybe try storing new setpoints and see if that does anything.

    What CC/CV charger/balancers are you using?

    The CC/CV regulators get pretty hot when at full charge. I can tell you that this design with two cooling fans is overkill but I didnt want any over heating. As Jubalr said, the plugs can only be put in one direction giving you the polarity protection needed. The Plug I made for the Car...

    Best Tablet under $175 for 3DR Solo?

    Just bought the Asus Zenpad 8 and its awesome. Runs very smooth and hasn't had any issues with Solex https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FGCXUDU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    No livefeed

    This will sound stupid but did you make sure the GoPro is on? I ask because the newer firmware on the GoPro wont let Solo turn it on, you have to manually power on GoPro with firmware V4 or V5. This is a Hero 4 silver right?

    SJCAM Original SJ4000 WiFi Action Camera with SOLO 3DR

    I use the Hero 4 Silver and it works great. I also downgraded the firmware to Version 3 but thats not required, still operated fine with firmware version 5 but had to manually turn the GoPro on.

    What CC/CV charger/balancers are you using?

    Thanks Steve, I did use a static load to set the current. I ended up moving the current setting to 5.5A to insure the 12VDC 30A charger doesn't overload. I really liked your graphs and see you also used 5.5A as the max current setting. Nice work by the way!

    What CC/CV charger/balancers are you using?

    Yes it charges 5 battery's at 5 - 5.5A each. Two things I have found. 1. 30A power supply, if you put each at 6A you max the supply out. Power supply can handle it but will get hot and not the best idea to max a supply out. Note 2 explains why I didnt go with a much larger power supply. 2. What...

    What CC/CV charger/balancers are you using?

    After figuring out what parts cost, its rather high. For it to be worth my wild I would have to sell it at $350. If anyone is interested please message me.

    Solex for Solo

    Does Solex allow you to see the compass variation? If not it would be great to have this information available, heck even if it allowed the variation alarm to show so you would know to move from the current location or land to recalibrate. As important as this is I am hoping it already has...

    using Mission Planner

    You would be correct, you can take a bin file and extract it to google earth file and see the 3D path, but with the bin file you cant see the compass feedback. On the other hand you can see the compass feedback if you play the tlog and you can see the exact location in the map, thats how I...

    using Mission Planner

    The remote only stores 10 tlog files and the memory overwrites them. It starts a new tlog every-time you land and disarm the solo. I wanted to pull old log files that the remote has already overwritten to see if I could find the exact locations it originates from. Since I couldn't get the tlogs...
