    Solex Missions Export from phone to tablet?

    I use Astro which gives you access much like folders in Windows. The copy and paste function works fine to put I it on an sd card to load on another device.

    I think those are too long.

    What is the max hours for solo brash motors before change out

    Iv never seen one that shows that info. When we first bought Solo's 3DR came to train the first group of pilots for us and that was a question we asked at the time. Iv had to change out 1 or 2 motors before that time came because bearings were starting to wobble. We go more on condition that...

    geotagging images - getting the proper time offset

    Ah. I have a couple things that might help you, I will send a PM. One thing for the greater group, it helps a lot to set the clock in your camera. We set them to local time just try to get within a second or so ish of the GPS time. Hours and minutes aren’t so important as seconds.

    geotagging images - getting the proper time offset

    Couple questions. You flew it with the gopro? Did you fly it in a survey flight or take pictures manually?

    Tower version

    Thats interesting. Will have to play with it a bit and see what I can find. I prefer to use Solex anymore but use Tower to truth the Terrain Following from Solex before flying the site.

    Tower version

    I just looked and it is Tower renamed. Everything else is the same in the app. I have well north of 500 flights using Tower and just at a glance I wonder if the OP put it in Stabilize using the drop down menu in the app. Totally easy to do and too easy to make a mistake there. We train our...

    Solex Missions, Tower, Mission Planner, or QGroundControl

    The mission is stored on the aircraft when you upload it. When tower crashes just close it, reopen, connect, and download the mission from the Solo. It will keep flying what it was last told to do unless you change that. I just leave it going and once reconnected Tower will pickup from there and...

    drotek 3DR SOLO RTK GPS (NEO-M8P)

    If you use the Survey-In it would take days to get to 2cm. That's why I use a Survey grade GPS to place the XXL base, which takes less than a half hour. Then in the settings for RTK in mission planner I can tell the base where it is with what I got from the big GPS. If you want to get things...

    3d mapping with solo

    When I built the Ricoh system the Gentles folks were helpful for the MP settings. They got me close enough that I could tune it from there. Might be worth dropping a note to James there.

    3d mapping with solo

    You are correct in your questions. A thought, have you gone into the Initial Setup tab and Gimbal Settings? The Mapir website has a page that will walk you thru that. The only issue is knowing what to set the options to, I have no I idea but others around here have mounted sony cameras and...

    3d mapping with solo

    I upgraded my personal Solo to Green Cube but the Solo's at work are stock out of the box. I built a harness that uses PIN 19 and the gimbal cable for 5v power.

    Solex Missions, Tower, Mission Planner, or QGroundControl

    I don't see why that wouldn't work really nicely.
