I have been using the stock Quik app (android, lenovo smart tab m8 gen3) to control hero4-black settings. I find that I have a few different camera setups that I return to semi-frequently. The quik app allows me to change anything and thats great, but I see no way in that app to store a set of...

Thats great to hear (Solo will be able to comply). Looks like the rule takes effect in september? I didn't think I could renew my faa registration because it specifically asked for the ID, but found I can leave it blank and just say "doesn't support it" and change it later. Think it will need...

So I haven't been flying any drones for a while, but bro-in-law got a solo so I'm looking to get active again. I got a registration renewal a couple months ago from the FAA, saying that my drone must support Remote ID. I went and read all the info on the FAA site and my (newbie/uninformed)...

Understood completely. Have you looked at the altrium designer source files I linked from the 3dr github? Are those for some completely different project despite being labled 3dr solo?

Solo Hardware Development I had posted a separate thread on this, but not sure if I accidentally deleted it - it's not there. Long story short, if anyone has interest in the 3dr altium designer files but couldn't open them without altium - and altium is very expensive... be aware that kicad...

I had posted in another thread that I couldn't find the 'opensourced hardware' (ie. schematics with gerber files, etc.) for solo, and that I thought I had found them at 3drobotics/Pixhawk_OS_Hardware I think that URL 'name' may be a misnomer, cause it doesn't appear to be hardware for the...

PDF's of schematics are close to useless.... no one distributes them that way. Normally when I see a company release "schematics" they are full schematic cad sources (which are most definitely not in the opensolo/opensolo link), along with gerber files, along with etch artwork for each layer of...

No. That is for the software. I'm looking for the opensourced hardware, which I think I found at the link I posted above but I am not yet positive that the schematics there are for the boards as they were used in solo... but I think they might be. Will advise what I find.

Have any of the replacement battery projects used the newer graphene-doped lithium batteries? Amazon.com: HRB Graphene Battery 4S 6000mAh 100C 14.8V Lipo Batteries Pack with Traxxas Plug for RC Helicopter Airplane Car Truck Boat Remote Control Traxxas Xmaxx: Toys & Games (amazon link) The...

I'm not up on the solo architecture yet like you folks are, so I'm not sure what I'm looking at but.... More googling finds the link below which seems to show actual schematics, gerber files, and pick & place files for the FMU, IMU, PWR, etc: https://github.com/3drobotics/Pixhawk_OS_Hardware I...

ah ok, my mistake. Years ago when I read chris andersons "we're opensourcing solo" announcement, I thought he had said they were releasing not just software but hardware as well. I didn't realize that only the software was released, bummer! That does kinda give an EOL date to it then, once the...

Well, I did look in the opensolo github and wiki. I did not see gerber, dxf, or even cad files which were my primary target mentioned above. I'll keep looking.....

So when 3dr open-sourced the solo, didn't they not only release the code but also drawings for parts, board layouts, schematics, etc.? I'd like to take a peek at board layouts and schematics, where did they wind up? I don't see them so my googlefu must be weak :\ J

This has been a super-interesting thread. Great work profpip! I have been thinking about a project that involves building opensolo outside of vagrant as well, and your work may have spurred me on. Thanks!

On the OpenSolo wiki under the "SUPPORT, SOCIAL MEDIA, & LINKS" section, the current link for solex is going to a malware site. It appears that the link should be www.solex-app.com Can someone with edit authority change that?
