solo extrange sound alert

brunoferreiro · Dec 12, 2015

Please help!!

I connect to the mission planner from the PC to test engines individually. After testing the engines, disconnect the drone pc. When turn on the drone again, it connects perfect to the control and tablet but this annoying sound begins. It connects to satellites, it gives me the option to turn on engines but want to do it, do not start.

You didn't by chance upgrade the firmware from within MP? Check your software revisions with the Solo app, for all components. Write or screen shot your results back here....

If the above, I'd assume a factory reset would not resolve, but would allow you to re-load current FW into the various components.

Could be a bad motor, ESC or connection to and from these components. Check your connectors; main board and motor pods.

Just throwing out suggestions, there is no reference to any beeping code I could find for Solo or ArduCopter.... other than a motor issue....APM 2 ESC beeping rapidly. I could not hear the beeping that was mentioned from the video.

Good luck!

Have a listen to thes pixhawk alarm sounds.
common-Sounds (Pixhawk/PX4) | Copter

Maybe this might help

The sound from Bruno's video sounds like the "low battery" alarm.

Please follow the next instructions in order to perform a full parameter reset to your Solo:

From Tower App
1.- Follow the steps shown.
2.- Open the menu and go to Parameters.
3.- Once you area at the parameters section search for the SYSID_SW_MREV parameter.
4.- When you find it please select the number written to the right of the parameter name, delete it and write a "0" (Without quotation marks).
5.- Once you have changed the parameter go to the upper-right part of the screen and select the three dot icon.
6.- On that drop down list please select Upload Parameters.
7.- Finally turn off your Solo and then turn it back on.
*Please make sure to do both level and compass calibrations after doing the reset.

I just had a bad battery, but had to perform this before 3DR would RMA me a new battery.

Just to be clear, writing a "0" to the SYSID_SW_MREV parameter will reset ALL Solo's parameters back to factory?

brunoferreiro · Dec 13, 2015

I think so, after restart solo, you need to do compas and level calibration again

I am the originator of this post, & it works for lots of problems with Solo.
