GPS and WIFI upgrade

mlody · Mar 8, 2020

Hi All,

I have a 3DR Solo for a few years now, and after it sitting in the closet for a while (I did check the batteries from time to time, to make sure they don’t completely discharge while sitting unused). I decided to get it up and running.

Now, everything is stock, nothing has been changed/upgraded.

Where should I start first to get everything up and running with no major issues? I wanted to upgrade the GPS + WIFI (antennas on the controller and WIFI board in the drone), to increase the range. Any recommendations on those upgrades?

All help is appreciated,

Thanks a lot
