    Directly power 3dr Solo

    As usual, it seems I answered my own question after posting it and after I've done some searching on the web beforehand. I eventually settled on these products which will not only help with doing some bench work with the Solo, it will help with the smaller drones I assemble/repair. That helps...

    Directly power 3dr Solo

    I was reading the 3dr solo development guide and came across a reference indicating you can "...directly power Solo instead of using batteries". Rules and Advice | 3DR Solo Development Guide How do I directly power a solo instead of using a battery?

    Solex servos and available PWM

    Yeah. I have a different breakout board for the accessory bay but I get the the gist of that hack. I could do the soldering if I really wanted to (I build my own 5" freestyle drones) but, after further reading and investigation, I'm going to pursue the Arduino hack described in Solo Servo Sweep...

    I'm also trying to control a servo. In this case for a winch. I'm new to Solo accessory bay development and interested in how this was was wired up and controlled.

    Solex servos and available PWM

    I would like add a servo in Solex to control a servo I plan to attach to the accessory bay. I realize I may have to wire PWM's 6, 7 and 8 from the main board to the extension board but it raised a more fundamental question of PWM's on a 3DR solo. I have a stock PixHawk and running OpenSolo 4...

That was before reading your posts here. I also have the same question as @blahdc. Is it still possible to get the boards? If not...

    @XevetS Good to know. Thanks! Now I know UDP == WiFi in this case.

    Solex Update 1.6.4

    FWIW, I updated to v1.6.7 and noticed the connect button with the options UDP and USB. I was connected to the solo wifi and wanted to connect via wifi (not UDP or USB). I hit the connect button once with no effect and when I hit it again, the voice feedback asked me to hit the button again to...
