Hey Solex users,

Another update is on its way, 1.1.2. A few fixes for bugs I (and others) found, plus a few additions:

* Full-screen mode

On smaller screens, it's handy at times to move all the menus and stuff out of the way. So there's a button for that. Of course this means you can't see any of the telemetry from your Solo, so...

* Basic on-screen HUD

That's what's in the picture.

* Tlog save and share

Solo app does it, Tower does it, now Solex does it. You can share tlogs from Solex though, so that's cool.

* Spot Mode for GPS overlay

Someone suggested the idea of being to point at an object and know its location, rather than flying directly to it. So there's a button on the Controls palette for Spot mode. When this is turned on, there's a little target on the screen. Point it at something (using the pitch paddle, yaw, etc) and the location you see is the location of whatever's in the target.

* Fix crash in app settings

Found a crash, fixed it.

* Fix error with Solo app trying to load Solex library

This one was weird. Last update, I fixed Solex so that it would never try to load the DroneKit library used by Solo or Tower (which, surprisingly, is actually possible on Android). Having done that, one user reported that Solo would crash on startup whenever Solex is installed. I saw a crash log from that, and it was because the Solo app was trying to load Solex's library. But since I had marked it as "not for use by others", Solo was crashing. So after another change, there's no chance that Solo will stumble across Solex's version of the library.

So, there you are. Have fun!

Not an issue Dash. Logs do not identify apps, if any at all, were/are being used. They simply report flight parameters and the flight mode Solo was in during each phase of flight.
 
I just download. Connected to Solo WiFi. Go to Vehicle Settings page, and at the bottom of the screen, is a small window displaying "Loaded xxxxxx parameters". The x's are numerals, that after about 5 minutes of churning away now shows >70,000 parameters loaded. Is this normal? I am hoping that it only does this the first time it is use, but currently, I am beginning to think it is stuck and may not stop loading parameters.

The next time I started the app, it said the parameters were loaded. It did not remember the RTL altitude, Altitude limit, or the Distance Limit parameters, however

I also discovered that once the lights are changed to one of the new colors, they stay there even if the Solo app is run instead of the Solex app. Once the Solo is power cycled, the normal colors will return.

I hope to try this out in the field once the rain stops.
