unix commands are case sensitive: use runStickCal.sh

The selection advantage line is commented out, so it has no effect I believe. I notice with the new file that channel 11 is selected quite often even when there are other access points near by using that channel. I did play with the channel list and by excluding channel 11 explicitly, Sololink...

Could be a few gimbals out there with issues hardware wise (most are not having a problem like this), or perhaps it could be WiFi signal issues. I just know that my flying area is congested with tons of WiFi traffic and the config file mod that Ian did a video for did help me for that problem...

I may have had a different problem than others here, although I did see the gimbal tilt/flop to one side several times per battery the last time I flew until today, when I re-applied the hostapd.conf file mod that is described in a pinned post in the Solo Discussion part of 3DR Pilots. I am...

I was one of the people who noted a drop in video quality with the 1.1.12 software with gimbal when I had the hostapd.conf mod applied. So I took it off and noticed better video. Today, after I had upgraded to 1.1.15 some time ago, I decided to re-apply the hostapd.conf mod. This time, the...

I did the Solo gimbal cable mod shown in the video I linked to. Seems to have greatly lessened gimbal noise and vibration on the bench. In the process, I stressed the HDMI cable too much and it unplugged from the socket beneath the main Solo circuit board. So I had to read up on how to get...

Posted this originally on Facebook -- might be useful to post here as well. I would suggest some caution with this mod for those folks flying with 3DR Solo gimbals. I have used this for weeks with no real issues. I installed my gimbal and in doing a bench test in my dining room, I noticed...

I just did the calibrations -- both level and compass -- and there is no change for me to the gimbal motor noise/vibration. If I pick up the Solo with the gimbal on, the vibration seems to lessen significantly. The gimbal control on the camera seems to work fine as does the record button. I...

I just heard from some folks on the Solo Owners Facebook page that performing calibrations might benefit me in my situation. Specifically a compass calibration, with the observation that a level calibration wouldn't hurt. This is with the gimbal and GoPro mounted to the Solo frame while doing...

Similar to my noise that I posted about earlier. Doesn't sound like a cable rubbing somewhere to me.

Don't know if mine is the same (or a related) problem as the OP reported but I installed the gimbal last night and was just bench testing before flying. The first thing I noticed is that the video feed in the app is constantly pixelated when the Solo and gimbal are on and just sitting there...

It's available now!! Just updated.

Francisco A from 3DR tech support is helping me debug some controller disconnect issues I have been having. He just wrote the following: "Also you may want to check the WiFi environment, if you are using Android (haven't found a good one on my iPad yet) there's this cool App called "WiFi...

I don't think tech support is trying random things here. I think they are trying to discern patterns and trends and trying to rule out hardware problems to avoid unnecessary product returns. Some of the remedial suggested actions do seem counter-intuitive but there is a lot going on under the...
