Full Reload of Solo Files - HERE GPS Yellow lights (RESOLVED)

[tjones]

So thanks to jonbrotherton for posting all the files and instructions to get my Solo back online.

I'm running the following and controller and Solo are talking just fine.
Controller: 4.0.0
Controller f/w: OpenSolo-4.0.0
Solo: 4.0.0
Autopilot: 4.6.0
Gimble: 1.3.6
RUNNING THE GREEN CUBE NOT STOCK CUBE

I have the first Generation HERE GPS as found and bought years ago on Jon's site: Here GPS PnP for Solo

The issue seems to be the HERE GPS LEDs just blink yellow, they never go green. The controller does show GPS sats but never gets to the point of being able to hit the FLY button.

I did the HERE Compass Parameter script install using both Solex and Sidepilot and doesn't seem to work. Some of the values listed in the script don't even seem to be valid when I look for them (i.e. MAG_ENABLE or COMPASS_TYPEMASK). I know the HERE GPS works as it worked several years ago when I bricked the entire unit and just got around to bringing it back to life.

Could it be an issue with the newer Autopilot: 4.6.0 code with that antique HERE GPS unit not being fully supported or deprecated?

Ideas?

RESOLVED

So upon further review and noticing I was not getting a battery percentage or voltage appearing in both Solex and Sidepilot, I took the bird apart and made sure all connections were fully seated under the battery tray. Appears the small BMS cable may not have been fully plugged into the main board.

Once completed the battery showed but correctly in both apps and after calibration it fully locked onto GPS and Fly button worked. HERE GPS lock was quick and accurate.

Did not need to install the HERE GPS modification script - seemed to be just fine with the updated code in Autopilot.
