    Open Solo 4 SD Card Images

    I believe the files are already named with the correct extensions. Is that what you are asking?

    Convert Solo Link system to RubyFPV

    Sounds like the right track! The devs tell me drivers would be the main issue. It would be nice to have a new use for the Solo hardware.

    Convert Solo Link system to RubyFPV

    I'm in! I thought about this too but don't have enough time and expertise to dedicate to it. I'm using OpenIPC APFPV on several of my other vehicles now and I see the similarities. I don't believe the imx6 is going to be compatible but it still works well as is anyway, haha. Using a radxa seems...

    Solo spin out

    Ahh yes. You need to drain the battery through the main output connector on the BMS, slowly at about 1A, down to 13.5v. Then let the battery rest, turned off, for 45 minutes, at the end of 45 minutes charge the battery fully through the main output connector. After that check the parameter...

    Solo spin out

    You do need to calibrate with the new battery setup on it. If you have a BMSOne there's nothing else to do other than compass calibration. The BMSOne comes with a strap that holds the battery on sufficiently and in a position where the wires should not be an issue.

    Solo spin out

    5zI would highly suspect a brownout issue here. If you were using a stock battery you He were taking a chance. Flying aggressively you were taking a bigger chance. Replace the cells in your battery or get a BMSOne.

    All green lights!

    Not sure why it did that but to fix it you'll need to have these files and instructions. I would probably replace the SD card in the drone also. https://www.patreon.com/posts/open-solo-4-96976821

    Upgrading to Orange+ Cube and other debacles

    When you get back to it you should try removing Mission Planner and reinstall it. If the cable is working it is likely a driver issue. Also I have found that the Cube Orange Plus needs to be powered up externally to connect properly via usb on my windows pc.

    Been awhile so my 3DR isn't connecting anymore

    Turn the controller off, then hold the Fly and Power buttons for 15 seconds while it boots up. When it finishes, you may have to Pair the Solo to it. I believe Pairing is in the Owners Manual.

    Been awhile so my 3DR isn't connecting anymore

    See if the SoloLink WiFi shows up on any other devices like a tablet or computer. If not you should factory reset the controller.

    Upgrading to Orange+ Cube and other debacles

    Once it is back in flying condition, the best way to update in the future will be in Solex or SidePilot, without having to take anything apart. Instruction for that are here. Install Open Solo

    Try Pairing the drone to the Controller. With both powered up hold the Pair button on the bottom of the Solo for 5 seconds. If it won’t Pair you may need to flash the firmware manually. The current files and instructions for installing them manually are here...

    A couple parts missing from the Agriculture drone i'm paying to have put together for a friend.

    The link you provided doesn’t work. From what I can tell this is not a 3DR vehicle. You might try getting support from the manufacturer. Maybe here? EP Hexacopter Drone Frame of EFT Drone E610P e616p,e620p | EFT
