    RMRC Antenna Tracker used with 3DR Solo and Mission Planner

    I wanted to dust off the antenna tracker that I put together last year for my 3DR Pixhawk DIY multirotors. Initially, I tried to have a ground-based Pixhawk control the antenna servos, and was unsuccessful, and so it sat in the shop for a year. I've been using my Solo quite a bit the last few...

    Flying Drones in Dubai

    Anyone has experience in flying drones in Dubai? I plan a trip to Dubai and was thinking of taking my Solo with me. I read some of the local regulations in Dubai and was surprised that they require the pilot to be registered in CAA, otherwise there is a penalty (imprisonment one to three years...

    M8N GPS vs Pixhawk 2.0 Cube

    Set up a Cable Cam down the center of a descending road and my Solo promptly ran into a tree branch 5' from the set point. (Propeller guards were ineffective against the branches.) Are there ways to increase the accuracy? Would the mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N/ 3DR SOLO Upgrade (mRo GPS u-Blox...

    Solo Swarm - Anyone Have any Success (or even try)?

    So, I'm a long time Mission Planner user with DIY Pixhawk multirotors. Now that I have 5 Solos, I'd really love to figure out how to swarm them (control up to 5 from a central source). I had some limited success with my DIY birds, but with the level of effort and $ invested in the DIY aircraft...

    Modified Pano Smart Shot - Sphere

    I modified the python code (pano.py) which controls the Pano Smart Shot Sphere for creating 360x180 degree panoramas. In a nutshell, I added more angles and more shots. This code change was inspired by @NickHobgood and his fantastic 360x180 panoramas. I'm too lazy to take the shots manually so I...

    Slow Yaw Rate

    I'm new to the Solo, I just couldn't pass up the $299 BB deal since I like my Pixhawk ships so much. But I'm having trouble flying it in any "fun" mode. Acro is almost impossible because the yaw rate is so slow it's completely un-coordinated with the other much faster controls. I almost crashed...

    Solo in advertisement

    If you watch the new Microsoft cloud advertisement, the one showing them tracking mosquitoes, watch very carefully at the beginning for the quad-copters they are flying. Really caught me by surprise. Guess the commercial side of 3DR might be doing well.
