Will do.You most likely have the barometer port blocked up.. It is fairly easy to have that happen the port is barely larger than the head of a stick pin. Check your pixhawk for dust or other debris buildup.
when you take off and try to land it gives a very hard landing.So, what does it do when you arm and take off? The baro reading sitting on the ground before you take off is irrelevant. When you arm, it resets to zero and measures from there.
I had not flown it since it started. i factory reset it and it still showed the 3 feet. so i didnt push it. I tried it this morning and after taking off, now it seems to be ok. it takes off and lands just fine. it read as low as 2 feet when flying. it was windy so i didnt push it with much lower. my next question is batteries. should I order them from amazon or just order batts from hobbyking and rebuild the packs?I mean what does the altitude reading do. You have only stated what the altitude reads while one the ground.
Order batteries from B&H. Best price and no questions asked if they send you a brick and they throw in a couple of free legs that you can play pick up sticks with.I had not flown it since it started. i factory reset it and it still showed the 3 feet. so i didnt push it.

Both Philip Rowse and Paul Dinardi have on several occasions over the Summer promised fresh packs at prices north of $150 which will be offered for sale "after the current supply of the existing packs have been depleated" From all indication they will equal (not surpass) the original packs. Paul has indicated that 400,000 packs were originally manufactured. The last run was 11/15.I have heard different views on the 'fresh packs'.
Could you explain where you're getting your info on them from pls?
It would be good news indeed, but I haven't seen anything other than your post I'm afraid - any more info you have would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Just so this isn't off topic, new batteries would help us exceed 3ft agl

I understand that's about what batteries originally sold for when new but I am going to have a really hard time paying that after recently purchasing them from B&H for $19.99, not to mention the fact that you can damn near buy the Solo for that these days. So why wouldn't I just buy the Solo off ebay for similar money, fly it til the battery craps out then throw it away and buy another? I think all things considered they are going to have a tough time selling batteries at that price point.
