    Don’t buy from Pro-Tec Solutions

    Nothing is a scam until it is. I ordered from them and got what I ordered once. And then I ordered again and didn’t. They didn’t respond they didn’t refund my money, etc etc etc so sure. All WAS fine but no longer is. Had to get my credit card company involved, so you tell me. Why risk it if...

    Don’t buy from Pro-Tec Solutions

    You’re better off asking for a refund so you can tell PayPal/your credit card company you’ve already asked. Protec won’t respond. Then just get your money back. If they had replacement cubes for $10, they would just ship them.. otherwise just seems like a scam... I got my money back from my...

    Don’t buy from Pro-Tec Solutions

    I ordered a new cube, carrier board and other stuff on July 3rd. They generated a tracking number about a week after that. It still doesn’t track and I’ve emailed them several times. I guess it’s a scam. I ordered a different time and received the item but no communication and keeping the money...

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    this actually gave me a lot of trouble so I’m with you on the difficulties. I just have red lashes everything 20 times. I initially went back to some of the earlier firmwares but my gimbal didn’t actually update until I flashed 2.4.2 and went through preflight. If you go into the firmware info...

    Weird Sidepilot issues

    I have the same sidepilot issues. I can’t save the button assignments correctly. Some work but 90% do not.

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    But definitely had a struggle with getting the gimbal firmware update. Process was: flash back to 2.4.2 on controller and solo. go through the preflight update and then update back to opensolo 4 once the gimbal firmware was confirmed updated. I had to manually update everything from ssh/sftp...

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    Strange. Rebooted several times and let it sit. Now works fine. No errors.

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    Solex can control the gimbal but not the controller now. Side pilot can’t (since I don’t think the functionality is in the app)

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    Interesting. I put 2.4.2 back on everything and let it update so the gimbal then got fw 1.3.6 on it and then when I went back up to opensolo 4 I have no gimbal control and it says contact 3DR support.

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    Good to know. Thanks. Do you lose any functionality with it not recognized? I can’t get it to recognize at all.

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    The gimbal was never opened and just stayed in the box since ~2016 until a few days ago so is there a way or need to update the gimbal firmware directly? Since I’m on opensolo 4 I was contemplating taking everything back to stock to let it try and do the preflight update but maybe there is a...

    Optical Flow sensor

    Anyone have any guidance on which is the most accurate and/or longest range flow sensor? I’ll be putting a 100m lidar paired with it so no need to rely on any built in lidar (unless there is something I haven’t seen thst is great and all in one). Thanks!

    Gimbal not found (but works with gimbal buttons)

    Running opensolo 4 and the gimbal says not found on the controller and in the firmware update but the gimbal works when trying to control it from the gimbal buttons. Any thoughts? I already checked the cable. Thanks

    GPS chip change (solder change)

    I wanted to use the stock pcb and had a bunch of m8n units so I desoldered the m7 and put an m8 on. Initial tests were really good. Going to fly it this week. Have some m9 units as well I might try after this. Has anyone done this? Stock pcb with an M8?
