Would help having more details about this issue. Is the wi-fi enabled on the device you installed Solex on? If the wi-fi is enabled on your phone/tablet and you can't find Solo's wi-fi in the list of wi-fi networks ( listed when clicking on the Solex WIFI button) then I'd suspect a problem with...

Kelly, I have auto-start recording enabled and it worked with non-mission type flights, but I believe I also had to start recording this time.....not 100% sure though :) Let me know if it will help to take a look at the logs... or anything that might help with testing/troubleshooting. BTW, I...

Just had a chance to test a Solex (installed on June 26, 2019 + missions add-on + geo-tagging add-on) Survey mission using an Open Solo drone ( standard hardware) . It looks like the Solex app got updated on July 29, 2019. I created 3 Way Points : 1= take-off, 2=Survey (altitude: 118.11ft...

Has anyone answered these questions? I've used Tower for imagery surveys about 2 years ago. Just got Solex and looking for the same answers. :) Thanks!

Doringtoon, Glad to hear this thread helped. I am still using stock equipment ( solo + gopro 4 black) . Ed's feedback helped fine tune Tower settings for a 40+acre job ( Thank you again!). Used DroneDeploy to process data and I was pleased with the results. I'd like to think I am ready for the...

Ed, From my experience, the range on the Solo is way under the 0.5mi spec. I am losing connection at about 900ft and 200ft altitude, even with the Alfa antennae ( no structures or trees to block signal). What's your range ? Any mods? Thanks!

Ed, I can confirm Tower Mission planning is available even without a connection to drone. Now I know why I thought it needs the drone...:) Last night , when I tried it without the drone, The Flight Altitude was RED mainly because previously altitude was set to 135ft ...I connected the drone and...

Ed, Thanks for taking the time to answer! I really appreciate it. Note: I noticed last night I was in a hurry to post the question and didn't' take an extra minute to verify my previous post with the settings I was "happy" with :) I typed 100ft @ 10MPH when in fact the settings I liked ( happy...

Ed, Have you had to survey a larger area? :) My initial tests were done with a small area ( 3 acre area) and the settings above work just great. I played more with Tower and it looks like I will have to increase the altitude for larger areas ... For instance, for surveying 20 acre I'll need...

I didn't experience the GoPro "freeze" issue with a H4Silver, even after upgrading to latest firmware (v5). I do however have this issue with v5 on a H4 Black. I'll try downgrading to v4 and report back.Tx! Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

Managed to test with Medium FOV settings. Best results so far... Especially the elevation map! Settings used: *****Tower settings****** elevation 135 ft speed 20MPH (8.94 m/s) camera trigger set by Tower = @ each 26ft overlap =80% side-lap= 80% Camera= Hero 3 Black (Medium) ****GoPro H4...

Ed, Thanks for correcting me on the Tower camera trigger ( how Tower controls camera trigger) . I've been using Mission Planner for geo-tagging the pics and seems to be working OK/seems simple enough. I'll check out Geosetter... After my yesterday's post I did another test : just increased...

I am trying to find the best settings for doing aerial mapping. I understood there are better cameras or even the option to replacel GoPro lens with 5.4mm Peau but I am trying to work with what I have...if possible. So far, I've been testing with DroneDeploy, even though they say seem to...
