OPEN SOLO 2.5-RC3 BETA

This is the third release candidate for user beta testing of Open Solo. Since 3DR open sourced the Solo and controller, many new possibilities have opened up. Combined with the continued development of mobile apps like Solex and SidePilot, the solo is now growing up even more!

Changes from -RC2

  • Stock solo ArduCopter firmware is now Solo-v1.5.4, and produced out of Open Solo for the first time! It is no longer using the 3DR produced solo-v1.5.3. The only functional change is the correct parameter defaults baked in. This is what you used to have to change manually in Tower or what I had to hack to change automatically via the IMX. If you already have a stock solo on RC1 or RC2, there will be no functional difference, purely ceremonial.

  • Green Cube solo ArduCopter firmware is now ArduCopter 3.5.4. There are no solo specific changes from 3.5.3, And nothing anyone with a Solo would likely notice. Just keeping everything current.

  • Python scripts to control motor pod LEDs created by Hugh Eaves @hugheaves. If you have a green cube, this allows you to use a terminal app or solex commands functions to customize everything about each motor pod LED. ArduCopter 3.5 is required and as such, this feature is not currently available on the stock solos.

  • Controller text adjustments to fix cut off fonts. Found and fixed by @FLYBYME (aka Tim WD).

  • Servo and gripper controls! Added ArduPilot mavlink servo control and ArduPilot mavlink gripper control to extended function options for buttons. You can now assign servo outputs or gripper control to, for example, the long press of the A button. FYI the only servo outputs readily available on the Solo's accessory bay are 6, 7, & 8. This is available to both stock and green cube solos.

  • Misc small typo fixes in code
