Hi Jeff. I've had this issue with two gimbals that I purchased earlier this year that were "New Old Stock" Both Solo's I was using at the time were running Opensolo 4, and this is where the issue lies. When the Solo gimbal was originally released, six months after the actual release of the...

Thanks for the info, Bruce. I had found the loader script and the firmware file on the Solo itself but it wouldn’t install. It’s a moot point now unfortunately. The camera started to be recognised by Solex but the gimbal has decided it still wants to fluff with me. Now the gimbal motors no...

I use a Huawei P30Lite and a M5 Mediapad 8Lite with no issues running Solex. The 3DR APP is no longer supported and will not run on newer flavours of Android.

Unless your Attitude V3’s have a HDMI input then there’s next to no chance. The Solo transmits the video, along with all telemetry and control data, in on digital transmission on 2.4 GHz. Your goggles receive an analog signal on 5.8GHz. I use Flysight Goggles with HDMI input, the FS HDO’s and...

Thanks Rich. I don't have problems soldering but I do struggle with debugging code. I know exactly what you mean. After trawling through the forums and Facebook Groups I've seen plenty of "I know how to do it, but I'm not going to tell you as that's my superpower." replies to plaintive pleas...

On the suggestion of another member of the Solex Facebook group, whom also experienced this problem, I removed the data cable from the motherboard. Removed all the old solder. Re-soldered the cable to the motherboard. and... still no control of any of my Gopro4's, on any firmware version. I...

Well... I removed the data cable. Removed all the old solder. Re-soldered the cable to the motherboard. and... still no control of any of my Gopro4's, on any firmware version. I still think that because neither the Solo or gimbal had been used with any firmware other than OpenSolo4 that Solex...

Thank you for the suggestion but I’ve already tried a bunch of different firmwares on different GPH4B’s. I posed the same question in the Solex Facebook group and one suggestion was to check the soldering of the data cable to the main board of the Solo. The user whom suggested this had the same...

Once again, Rich, thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m also not a coder by nature but I have logged into the Solo and navigated to where the Gopro Python scripts are located. One thing I have found is a difference in the Gopromanager.py file and one I found online. The one installed on...

Thank you for the reply and the pointers, Rich. I have checked the electrical integrity of the data lead connections and they are sound. I wasn’t aware of some Solos leaving the factory with incorrectly wired data leads so I’ll check this out further. My Solo appears to be the A version as the...

I’ve used it to import analog video from an Android OTG analog 5.8GHz receiver using the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). This is enabled in the video options menu. I also have the long range (LoRa) Skydroid digital video system hooked up to one of my self built Pixhawk models. Skydroid...

New Solo owner but not new to the Arducopter environment. As the title states I am unable to control any of my GPH4B’s from within the Solex or Solo APPs. The Solo and the gimbal were acquired as new in the box with the manufacturers seals still unbroken. As 3DR’s servers are non-existent I...

Though not being specific to the Solo QGroundControl connects via the default UDP port and displays all the telemetry as well as performing the autonomous functions. There’s also the capability to display live video if configured correctly.

I'd like to add myself to the list of folk experiencing this issue. Background. I purchased a new and unused Solo (manufactures seals still intact) last week. I installed Solex and Opensolo4 and performed all calibrations. Installed a Gopro Hero4 Black into the fixed mount. Video via the HDMI...

Just signed up to this forum after picking up my first Solo last week. Surprisingly it was brand new, the manufacturers seals on the box were still intact and everything still had the electrostatic film on. I paid less than $100 including shipping. I have loaded OpenSolo V4 on it (only way to...
