    Searching for GPS - Forever - and Controller Loss of Signal

    This is the best news I've heard all day. (Sadly I'm being honest) so thank you!

    Searching for GPS - Forever - and Controller Loss of Signal

    So I have a question, is it possible to start flying in manual mode, lock GPS in flight say 50-100' above your position and then proceed in smart "fly" mode? (I still want to use the return nome feature when I loose controller signal) I fly in the mountains all the time and constantly run into...

    Solo Crashed Itself

    I haven't flown it since be have I'm waiting for replacement rotors. However, everything powers up fine - the motors spool up fine as well. A few scratches on the battery case but all in all I was very fortunate after it fell 25' out of an apparently very soft tree. I'll put up a post if...

    Solo Crashed Itself

    Well looks like I got he code fixed. Whats strange is that my Solo only stays connected to APM Planner 2.0 for about 60 seconds while its automated voice keeps repeating errors messages. Quickly I navigate through the parameters list and switched the frame from (3) - H frame to (1) - X frame and...

    Can't Connect to Solo with Mission Planner

    I'm having the same problem as Larry. I'm on a mac using VMware to simulate Windows 7, and MP opens up like it should but it never actually connects. I've disabled the firewall and restarted MP after connecting to the wifi. Is there any other reason why it wouldn't connect?

    Solo Crashed Itself

    So I got a response from 3DR: "I was able to retrieve the parameters of your SOLO with the logs provided, there issue seems to be caused by the frame parameter which was changed to 3(H frame) from 1(X frame). First of all we would need to change the parameter back 1 please connect the vehicle...

    Solo Crashed Itself

    Yeah, I think that's a valid guess as to why it happened. I wish I could tell during the calibration that the values are way off stock value. I did submit a support ticket minutes after the crash and sent them video and pictures of the drone at the crash site so we'll see what 3DR says about...

    Solo Crashed Itself

    How could I tell if the calibration went off. I was reading another forum post on here about gimbal issues and they showed a message sent by a 3DR rep that sent over a PDF of how to recalibrate your controller and I followed the directions to the letter and it completely fixed my gimbal issues...

    Solo Crashed Itself

    I was afraid of that. How can I get access to the tlog? I have APM Planner 2.0 but cannot for the life of me figure out how to view any of my logs.

    Solo Crashed Itself

    Hey 3DR pilots, This is my first post and unfortunately its not a great one. I was having some trouble with my gimbal, it was not responding to the camera control angle well. Every time I tried to manually adjust the camera angle it got stuck facing 45 degrees downward. After lots of searching...

    Gimbal - "Manual Camera Controls Error"

    I can't thank you enough for the link! I spent weeks trying to figure this out. I took my gimbal out twice rerouting wires that were fine in the first place, submitted ticket after ticket to 3DR with no responses, but recalibrating the sticks fixed it! Brilliant!
