    Compasses inconsistent

    Yes that is from the first version BMSOne with its earliest firmware. I will fix that. The BMSOne has come a long way since then haha. Thank you for pointing that out. The BMSOne V2 is far simpler to program and flash firmware now. A new tutorial will be very short.

    Controller software gone

    Once you get to to where the Controller needs Preflight Update you will need to Pair the Solo to the Controller. Then to get past the Preflight Update you will need to install Open Solo 4. For that you can use either Solex on Android or SidePilot on iOS. Here are the instructions for Solex...

    Compasses inconsistent

    Open Solo is not required at all for using the BMSOne. The very first V1 version of the BMSOne firmware had a bug that made it not work with Stock Solo Firmware. But that was fixed 3 or 4 years ago.

    Possible Factory Reset - Need Guidance

    Are you using one of the supported cameras? If your gimbal was new and never installed on a Solo that has the original 3DR Firmware Update or Open Solo 3, it may not have gotten its initial firmware update.

    Strange Message

    I believe that message is because the way Solex controls the gimbal is using an older method that has been changed in the newer Ardupilot versions.
