This is what I wound up doing but ultimately it wants to randomly disconnect with a "Data link lost - Check connection" message. Is there a way to talk directly to the solo's onboard computer from a wired connection (still trying to eliminate the controller). I know I can do it through the wifi...

If i understand it correctly I think that still connects through the controller and then to the drone. Sadly i'm looking for an onboard solution ... looks like a good app though.

Thanks Stephen. I missed your post by accident. I've read through that entire section which is why I'm mostly sure there is a way. There is a mavlink connection to the accessory port but it's "unsupported for developer use". Which makes me think that you can do it ... but 3DR won't support it...

Thanks again for the responses. The idea was to use the same software setup as we did on the iris+ (We still have a few of them so we're trying to have a common platform). If we have to start maintaining two separate pieces of software to do the same thing on two 3DR drones it'll start to become...

If by tethered flight you mean the controller is essentially attached to the drone then yes. The android device opens up options that are more accessible to us and is, as a result, a better flight computer for our purposes. Long story short using our own variant of the Tower Android app has...

Maybe I should be more specific. Previously we've been sending specific commands to an Iris+ drone via Mavlink over the usb port connection on the Iris+. I'm looking to do the same with a Solo drone. I know the Solo is a bit of different beast (Onboard computer + Pixhawk 2) but I'm trying to...

Sorry about that. The android device would remain attached to the solo during flight hence the wired connection instead of wifi. We've done this previously with the Iris+ by connecting to the USB port on the side (USB port on Iris+ > OTG cable > Android device) and it worked just fine. Such a...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping that I haven't missed this elsewhere in my searches but to be honest I'm not entirely sure what else to search for. We recently purchased a 3DR Solo to replace our 3DR Iris+. On the Iris+ we used an OTG cable (Micro USB to Micro USB) to connect directly to an android...
