Hi,
I took a Solo battery apart (a long time ago). The goal was to mod the Solo so it can take a "regular" LiPo battery. One that does not cost $150 bucks.
I got a 4s 8000 mAh battery from hobby king, put my connectors on, and thought that the only thing left to do, is to change the LiPo capacity in Mission Planner. Well, I was wrong. Or maybe I am right, but it didn't work, ha ha. I am able to change the capacity, but not the "measured voltage"? Also, when I change the capacity and a stock Solo battery is connected to the Solo, everything seems fine. However, when I connect the 8000 mAh battery to the Solo, I get this beeping, like something is not right?! Not sure what it means though.
That said, I flew the Solo before using a 4s 5000 mAh battery with no changes to MP, and it worked totally fine.
I attached a few pictures.
1. I get this Error message when I connect the Solo to Mission Planner.
2. The default setting shows nothing under "Monitor"??? am I supposed to leave it like that or change it to 3 or 4?
3. The default setting under "Sensor" is "Other". Am I supposed to leave it like that or change it to any of the other 7 options listed???
4. The default setting under "APM Ver" is PIXHAWK. Do I leave it at that or do I need to change it to something else???
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks.
