Off the top of my head I'd say that the gimbal firmware hasn't been installed—this is done by the original Solo firmware and Open Solo won't do it— or the GoPro firmware is too new.

It's crickets here, eh?

Waiting for approval to join that FB group to get the original firmware installed. I have the "Solo gimbal not found" issue which prevents HDMI video feed to Sidepilot.

Am I editing the parameters in the table in Solex? I tried changing EKF from 3 to 2 and Solo complained there were "no cores for EKF 2" or something like that. how do I find the PID's and T-Cal? Tried to filter for these params but couldn't find them. Sorry I'm pretty green with the tuning...

This is good stuff. I'll give it a try this week. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. The Arducopter tuning instructions seem comprehensive but I'm not quite sure where to start in applying the procedure to Solo. Should I update my Arducopter to v 4.0.3 per the latest available in Sidepilot? What are some of the other updates in there like "HERE Compass...

I recently dug my Solo out, upgraded to OS 4, then transplanted the main board and motor pods into a new airframe. Got everything together and had a successful couple flights. But it's not the stable Solo I remember. I have the mRo GPS and it locks onto 12 or more satellites usually. Seems like...

Awesome! I'll PM you.

Did you do the reset of Solo through the pin hole on the belly? Then re-pair? I had this problem until I did that.

Edit: got one. I just resurrected my Solo after a debilitating crash a couple years ago. Broken airframe. A friend from this forum donated an airframe to me and I made the transplant finally today, after moving across the country. Upgraded to OpenSolo 4 and ready for a test flight. Anyway...

This is neat, and one of the best applications of ADS-B tech I can think of at present. Cool that it works on Solo. uAvionix has continued to produce some cool products over the last two years, a few for manned aircraft. However, remember that guys like me are flying our old airplanes at low...

I kinda skimmed through this thread but didn't see a clear answer... Are you guys getting the HDMI video broadcast back through the radio connection? It's just like flying a GoPro save for no configurability of the camera's exposure settings or shutter control? What's the landscape for camera...

UAS banner tow is about to see its time...

And to be perfectly honest, from the perspective of one who's spent years in FAA bondage, flying over people and berating them via loudspeaker sounds really fun.

Wow, cool. Forgot that was there since using Solex. There is this detail though: Goto post #2
