    Spanning Batteries In Mission Planner or Tower

    Hi Pedals2Paddles... Do you know if battery spanning was ever worked out in the latest Mission Planner? Finally fixed my 4k display with Mission Planner and am trying to get a multi-battery flight plan setup. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. -Mike

    Solo with Mission planner + many more questions

    Hi Tex... did you ever get to try out the mid mission planner battery swap (for lack of a better way to call it)? I'm looking to fly a long stretch of pavement and need to use multiple batteries and was trying to figure out how to do the battery swap. Thanks for any ideas you might have. -Mike

    Solo is in danger !

    Would be more helpful to make a ray gun to keep drunk drivers from getting in a car as they leave a bar. Oh... they did that... well sort of it's called Uber.

    a Solo apparently followed the fate of the Note7

    If there is a real issue here, it would be nice if the full details were posted (i.e. flight logs, field conditions during failure, etc.). I count on Solo to fly safely and reliably and if there is an issue I would like to know about it but a photo of a partially melted board really doesn't help...

    Solo is in danger !

    So does this mean the operator of the "Drone Defender" becomes pilot in command of the sUAS and assumes all liability for it's safe landing once they have jammed and taken over the flight controls? Sounds like a huge legal mess for the manufacturer of that Drone Defender. I cannot imagine any...

    Motor Pod Diagnostics in Mission Planner

    LOL... Agreed. 4K has turned into a real hassle as only some of the developers have fixed the issues and Windows 10 doesn't scale consistently.

    EKF Flyaway, not recoverable

    Playing back my t-logs from yesterday when Solo appeared to be experiencing a failing motor pod I see that I received a bad AHRS error. This is on a copter that has only been flown a couple dozen times. Most of the flights have been surveys produced in Mission Planner and executed in tower. Any...

    Solex for Solo

    Even if Solo were spinning (as shown in that video on Athletic Quadcopters) due to a failing motor pod, at least if you could perform a somewhat controlled descent to a safe crash/landing point that would be very beneficial. Obviously it's better to lose the copter/camera and hit a safe point on...

    Motor Pod Diagnostics in Mission Planner

    Ok, great. Thanks.... will adjust the throttle % before running the motors. One other issue I have is MP shows up super small due to the resolution of my laptop's 4K screen. I can scale it up in Windows but as soon as I connect the Solo via wifi the screen scaling changes back to the tiny 4K...

    Motor Pod Diagnostics in Mission Planner

    Today I was using one of my Solos to perform a survey mission setup in Mission Planner and noticed after it came home and landed that when I took off again I was getting some pretty obvious signs of a potential motor pod failure. Jerky flight while hovering (it does have the mRobotics gps...

    Solex for Solo

    First of all thanks for all the great upgrades to Solex... we have an amazing developer that has produced an excellent solution for the Solo community. I was using one of my Solos today to perform a survey mission setup in Mission Planner and noticed after it came home and landed that when I...

    How to tell if you're motor pod's are failing??

    Anybody had any success identifying a failing motor pod reading tlog files in Mission Planner? My new Solo was having difficulty today holding position and one corner was oscillating up and down as if the motor pod was losing power and the flight controller was trying to compensate. I can post...
