thanks.They are cumulative. You only need to do the most recent "current release:"
when updating firmware ....I noticed there is a /firmware & /firmware/loaded folder in Solo
Right now, I have Arducopter-1.3.1.px4 sitting in the /firmware/loaded....Do I have to create a folder called /firmware/previous versions and move the 1.3.1 file into there before copying 1.5.2.px4 file into the /firmware/loaded folder ........
Or does WinSCP or Solo handle this process automatically for me.....
Thank you
No! A forum user tried that and it nearly bricked his copter. Both files remain in loaded for the time being. It works just fine that way.Carpy....Understood...thank you.....do I need to move 1.3.1 out of the loaded folder first....or does that get moved auto to a different folder

I am really over thinking this....how can you have 2 different versions in the loaded folder....the 1.3.1 must go somewhere.....either moved out automatically or manual.....say to a previous versions folder let's say

I'm a bit of a newbie and just got my solo.
Only 4 flights so far due to terrible weather.
I'm guessing I *should* do this firmware update and that it's a good thing.
I am VERY comfortable with how the wireless networking AP and clients work with Solo and very familiar with the operating system involved SSH SCP SFTP & all that.
Is updating the firmware on the Solo "supported" any warranty issues?
So it is all base on timestamps.....whatever is the last one loaded....which will have the most recent timestamp takes precedence over all others.....I could have 20 versions with different filenames in the loaded folder.....but last one loaded wins......got it and thanks for explanations .....much appreciated for us semi-geeks

I would hope not! It makes it fly better and safer.I spoke to 3DR Support a while back regarding the firmware upgrade. They said it does not void your warranty.
P2P - just a remark that 3DR did send me a new Pixhawk when I opened up a ticket with them concerning inaccurate height Solo App showed on landing. Bottomline 3DR have some spare Pixhawks at hand.The auto email rarely works right. Their system sucks. Use the chat function on their support website to get in touch with them directly. Tell them you submitted a ticket via the app and got no response. They'll look for it and get the ball rolling faster. I highly suggest you do not tell them about installing 1.5.2. I'm confident it had nothing to do with a hardware IMU failure, but don't give them any excuses. They may balk at the fact that you already replaced the pixhawk yourself though. I suspect they do not have spare pixhawks lying around to send you as a replacement. They might say "congrats, you fixed it yourself, bye"
I have my RTL speed parameter set rather high. I forget the value, but it amounts to about 28mph. The way I see it, if that failsafe has engaged, I want it home immeidately. There is no reason to dilly dally, and the amount of power required to go that fast is negligibly more. I also lowered the RTL hover time from 5 seconds to 1 second. And increased the climb/descent rates.
