    Solo GPS mRo m8n Reception Poor

    Thanks. I have at least done 8 starts - actually more. The best I could get was while hovering about 200 feet above ground, and all I could get was 10-13 sats with a HDOP of 0.9 to 1.2

    Solo GPS mRo m8n Reception Poor

    Thanks. I took out the m8n and put my old Rev-B back in to see if that made a difference. I am seeing the same behavior. I also see my controller occasionally display "Calibrating Sensors." I was seeing this with the m8n, too. I am wondering now if it is not the GPS, but something else going...

    Solo GPS mRo m8n Reception Poor

    Hi, I have a mRo m8n GPS that I bought a couple of years ago installed into my Solo. I used to get lock on to several satellites within a minute (10 to 15), but recently it has been struggling to get 7 (several minutes before it gets here), and the most I have seen is 9. I have been plugging...

    Arducopter version for Green Cube?

    @ IrishmanPDX, the step 7 you mentioned is for the OpenSolo 3.0 install. I already have that installed. The instructions I am mentioning are for the new GC which is after the OpenSolo installation. As mentioned in my previous response, I followed the exact steps listed for the GC install...

    Arducopter version for Green Cube?

    Thanks. I read that, too. But, that really does not answer my question. I currently have 3.5.4 installed onto the GC. BTW...this is a new GC install - just recently updated from a stock cube and followed the instructions found on github. I did the proper steps by installing OpenSolo 3 onto the...

    Arducopter version for Green Cube?

    What version of Arducopter should be installed on the Green Cube? The instructions on github say to download, "ArduCopter_x_Firmware. " I did not see that exact name, but saw the "X" area show a couple of versions, 3.5.4 and 3.6.3. I downloaded the 3.5.4 because the github instructions for...

    Here GNSS Compass Calibration Fails on Solo

    Well, that did not work. :( Tried rotating this thing every way I can. I also tried while I was rotating in place. I even tried doing the Live Cal on MP, and that failed too (pic attached). Got to the point where my arms are tired from rotating it so much. Dang! Fortunately, I can still fly...

    @IrishmanPDX @XevetS Running Mission Planner version 1.3.62 Solex version 1.8.3 Solex -> Firmware Updates ->Reset Params get a "you are sure?" warning with Yes and No. Selected Yes. No further indicator or message from Solex - the warning just goes away. Refesh of Full Parameter List on...

    Here GNSS Compass Calibration Fails on Solo

    Planner layout was enabled for Advanced. Connected Solo again to planner and tried to change that variable. Still getting that it is read-only and nothing new will be written to it. But, if all this does is reset the parameters, then I have been able to do that through Solex. So, if I put the...

    Here GNSS Compass Calibration Fails on Solo

    Just for grins, I did try setting the orientation to 26, as mentioned earlier. No bueno, there too. Good thing still is that I am able to fly the Solo with the leg compass and using the Here GPS, after reconnecting the leg compass and doing param reset and cal - leg compass calibrates, no...

    Here GNSS Compass Calibration Fails on Solo

    @XevetS I could not set SYSID_SW_MREV to 0. It is a read-only value, according to Mission Planner. However, I did the reset through Solex when I could not change this value, and rebooted Solo. I then downloaded the Here compass parameters from Solex and rebooted. I connected to Mission...

    Here GNSS Compass Calibration Fails on Solo

    The Here I have does not have the "+" or "2" next to the name. Cables for the Here are fine. The LEDs work when the compass cable is plug into the board, and I do get GPS lock. I still get GPS lock from the Here when I have the leg compass plugged in and calibrated. Its that I can't calibrate...

    Here GNSS Compass Calibration Fails on Solo

    I have the stock cube with 1.5.4 If I change the compass params to the below, will that make my Here work? Or am I stuck with having to update to the Green cube? How would I know if I have a newer version of Here (I do not have the Here 2)? Compass_Orient value from 0 to 26 or...
