I have a problem with the compatibility of the controller and Solo.. I want to overwrite the memory card of Solo. I downloaded these disk images. But Windows does not recognize the image file type. What is the extension of these images? Which utility is better to write these images to the memory card.?

It depends what software you are using to flash the images. Change the file extension to whatever the software is looking for, or change the File Type it is looking for to *.*

That sounds like the correct lights for Open Solo 4. You need to flash both SD cards AND flash the Cube with the .apj file. The Cube has to be flashed using Mission Planner and the SD card images can be flashed with an image flashing software like this one balenaEtcher - Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives

I recommend using new 16GB SD cards and they don't have to be fast ones.

Hello everyone Please tell me, all the lights on my drone are green and there are no sounds beeps, nothing.

Hello everyone Please tell me, all the lights on my drone are green and there are no sounds beeps, nothing.

That is due to a firmware error or mismatch. You'll need to flash the Cube with the correct file, depending on what firmware is on the SD cards. This Facebook post should help with how to flash everything.

Do the IMU calibration first, then reboot, then do compass calibration. Go outside and wait for a good GPS lock before you start the compass calibration.

Ah ok thank you, anyway today i was wondering as i noticed after the drone connets to Solex the app still displays the home footage videos with the only option to connect or disconnect the drone, should i do something else to have the screen with the camera stream and the drone options? Or that screen will only appear when the drone is connected to satellites?

Once your android device is connected to the Sololink Wifi you can tap Connect in the Solex app. After it connects tap the airplane icon at the bottom left. That takes you to the Flight Screen where you should see the video feed with info overlay.

Hello i finally did the imu and the compass calibrations yesterday one thing i noticed after i tapped on the plane icon is that Solex says "video not supported", i tried shuting off and power back on the camera but nothing it is always on "video not supported" do i need to set the camera to some specific settings? Anyway the imu and compass calibration worked fine, the only strange thing is that after i did the imu calibration the copter has not rebooted automatically needed to do it manually same after the compass calibration, ah and a question about compass calibration, do i need to do specific moves, or its ok to rotate the copter in casual directions?

It doesn't reboot on its own. That's normal. If the compass calibrated then you covered all the directions it needs. Usually I rotate it 360 deg in each axis, then randomly until it finishes.

Turn on android location services and you should get video feed.

Hello now everything seems to work well, now the only thing is that the controller always stays on "Searching for GPS" and on the solex there is an intermittent red line saying "prearm: waiting for 3d fix" , but i suppose both those things will go away when i go outside, right?
