I'm well aware. I was and am hoping to encourage people to come bearing more information when requesting help. Flailing about in the dark is a waste of time on both ends, which is unfortunately where I see many, many 'help' threads progress. Just trying to help people get what they need in the least-frustrating [for all involved] fashion@just_bruce - Yeah, seems there are a lot of issues with people doing factory resets, unfortunately.
@D cover - You're going to need to either connect it to an older Android phone / tablet or any age chromebook, download the original 3DR Solo app and let it connect to 3DR's servers; or use an iOS device (iPhone, iPad) with the original Solo app to do the same; or use the Solex app you have and install Open Solo 4 on the controller and the drone both.
The demise of 3DR as a drone manufacturer has indeed meant that their firmware update servers have disappeared, and their app updates have stopped.Hello guys.....I have 2 Brand New Solos that have never been set up. I read that you can no longer update your Firmware on the Solo thanks to 3dr Robotics.The original solo app we'll install I was reading but it won't let you download the 2.4.2 firmware update anymore so basically if you have to factory reset your Solo or you've got a brand new one in a box like I do and it's never been set up before it's become a paperweight. Any of you guys heard about this????
Im very new to this, how do i start? like from the start, how do i get this program on my tablet? its not in the play store, so to start do i get it from the website?In case it helps anyone else, I just loaded OpenSolo 4 and all is resolved. It was very easy, just need to do a little bit of reading and understand the components.
I've now done a short test flight and connected using Solex on my phone, Tower on my tablet and MissionPlanner on my laptop - don't ask me why I used all three...
Follow the instructions on the Solex Github repo/Wiki and you'll be golden.
