That's the m8n I have

ok I was just curious. I imagine the ceramic antenna must be under it and I just didn't see it. I ordered my new main board this morning. Pretty soon I'll have enough spare parts for a build. I think all I'm missing is getting the new pixhawk 2.1 so I can use the old one on the build. I need a...

I am hoping that the piece there that I don't recognize is possibly a magnetometer? And I could possibly negate my broken compass by adding this?

Another thing I should have mentioned way before now is that I don't have the standard gps installed in my solo. Really I'm just noticing this myself and giving it thought. I hadn't payed it much mind because I could see the small piece of cardboard (a mod I'm not thrilled with as I live in high...

So far I am enjoying the new open solo update. Even with the minor problems I encountered (broke a connector) pulling the sd cards to manually install it (so be very careful if that's the Install method . I noticed considerably difference in performance as far as stability and especially in...

This is going to leave me with some extra parts laying around the controller from my first solo, the broken motherboard, and a few spare racestar 2312s. I'd like to use these parts on a build. Something small and lighter. Maybe like a vendetta style frame.

I guess I'll be able to check out the motor pods then by swapping them.

I think I've decided to replace the main board I see one on currentuas for 60$ you know better safe than sorry I would hate for my solo to fly away or worse someone get hurt.

Also. If I'm not mistaken there are two sd cards onboard the solo. One in the WiFi card and another on the pixhawk itself(I've not removed the pixhawk so I don't know this for sure) it seems somewhere in a picture I seen that it does have the second card... now as I said I did not pull this one...

I also noticed something really weird with my leds front starboard side stays white as it's suppose too, front port side stays green when armed now...? Both back leds stay red as they always were. It started this after I disconnected the leg compass and ran calibration. Any idea what this is...

Let him rip away. I'm just here learning and I pick up a lot of useful info from you guys here. I'm the first to admit when I need a stern ripping lol

Lol I'm not trying to step on p2ps toes I just want my solo to fly right again. I do notice that even with my broken compass and drifting issues now that the landing is in fact much smoother it's off 5-6 feet (not unusual) but I guess that has more to do with my compass than the software

Yeah that's what I thought you were going to say. Dammit. I'm not sure there is any fixing that at this point. Like I said I cleaned up my mess before I put it back together but it's not gonna be an easy fix for anyone. I took the wires out of the connections for one. (Which the new compass...

Ok here's my latest update. Try as hard as I could but could not reattach the compass leg connector and I tried for hours before I gave up and decided that maybe connecting the individual wires to the corresponding pads on the imx6. Also a no go! Damn things are just too close together, by the...

Once again I use pretty gentle hands when taking apart ant of my electronics I don't usually break things I take apart including wiring harness/ connections. They made it really simple to change between the two mounts also. I really still think that I somehow got some condensation in it...
