This morning I packed my Solo and went for a real estate photography job. Being in a hurry, instead of taking my first 2 best batteries, I picked the 1st best one and the 3rd best one – which never gave me any trouble if used above 45%. Story cut short, I was flying at 40-50m high, 300m...

Thanks, P2P & user096, we may have a winner… Installed the new ArduCopter 4.0.2 Green Cube without any issues, apart from showing as ArduCopter V4.0.1(61f191de) – please see below: Performed both, IMU & Compass calibrations, and tested 10 times start-up with 4-5 min waiting, without any prearm...

If the ArduCopter firmware notified by MP is for Solo, it could be our solution, if not, we’ll have to wait a bit more. As I mentioned above, I flew my Solo several times successfully, without any prearm or any other issues, with Open Solo 4 and the old firmware for Green Cube, ArduCopter 3.5.4

Thanks for letting us know your Green Cube Solo problems. It appears we have similar issues which, brings me back, to square one. I was almost sure, my Green Cube has one or more hardware problems, which generate the prearm messages on the first boot. Maybe we should wait to hear from other...

UPDATE: I have been testing & flying a lot this week and I reached a few conclusions about my Green Cube Solo prearm problems: Most probably my Green Cube has a consistent start-up hardware issue which generates all those prearm error messages if running latest firmware, but not if using the...

I’ve noticed a 30%-40% increase in the number of parameters for the new firmware, which is significant. In the last few weeks, I have been calibrating, more than flying. Yes, after each (IMU & Compass) calibration the first 2-3 flights are Ok and then, the prearm problems start to show. It...

You are right, it didn’t fix my problem, but I’ve learned something new – how to calibrate my sticks… Temperature causing gyro drift is logical and could explain my problem, but, there are still a few questions I cannot answer: When the flow of prearm errors starts, I get not only gyro...

Thanks, I found the thread and did the remote controller calibration. Unfortunately, the problem was still there ☹ It appears the issue is probably more with the software (firmware) rather than hardware. I went back and re-installed Open Solo 3.0.0 (Controller & Copter) and all my prearm issues...

Which controller?

It could be, but I’m not convinced… Are you flying a Green Cube Solo with ArduCopter 4.0 & Open Solo 4.0? I would like to hear from people flying the same configuration Solo (hardware & software) as I do. Thanks.

I have been flying my 2 Solo birds successfully for more than a year. Both my Solos have mRo GPS modules, with one Solo (OS-A) with Pixhawk 2.1 (Green Cube) & WiFi mod and the other one (OS-B) with Pixhawk 2.0 and standard configuration. Recently, I decided to update both to ArduCopter 4.0 &...

Good on you Kelly? Your App is one of the best, therefore we should try to keep it that way… It appears that from Android 6.0 and newer, WiFi needs Location turned ON – please see attached, notification from my WIFI Analyzer App, when Location Services are Off. Since I’ve got your attention for...

Thanks, you saved my day ? Yes, it relates to SoloState post. To be honest, I didn’t understand the <unknown ssid>" issue explained by Kelly Schrock and which, affected me as well. The only thing that worked in my case (thanks to blakers81) was to Turn On my Android device’s Location and Solex...

After using successfully Solex for more than 1 year, this morning I had a surprise. My Solex v1.9.2 is not able to recognise anymore my 2 Solos, Solo-A with Green Cube and Solo-B with the standard Pixhawk 2.0: “connected to Vehicle”, “Vehicle type is Copter”. Yesterday, “Vehicle type was Solo”...

Excellent video, especially the first half – shot in low light conditions. From my own research & discussions with a few lens manufacturers, for a GP4 - for both Video & Photo, the best solution is still the 3.37mm Lens. I have just finished replacing my stock GP Lens with a cheaper Chinese...
