Thanks John, I am sure it will help a lot of people who get into trouble by being impatient, so showing the whole uncut procedure was a great idea. When the Pairing fails the first time on a 10 second push, I find a momentary push seems to work well to finish the pairing.

Great tip! Thank you. I'll try that next time.

Brilliant!!

Just a question: if some of us are not too bright to follow your simple instructions, could we just box it up and send it to you for a fee? Surely you must have a little free time to make a little change.

Hello! You should use Solex for Android or SidePilot for iOS.

Hey m8 , just subbed. One question When i open the firmware update page the first thing it shows is a disclaimer warning mssg while at yours it doesnt and shows the number of specific firmware packages to be able to choose from. Is that what i will see once i click on yes/ok/proceed on the disclaimer button only option it offers to click on aka choose to proceed inside that page its options or functions ? Thnx and btw, there shouldnt be a situation where doing this requires a cable connection from or to the controller or drone to a pc / mobile device(s) ? Love your helpfull long form content. Keep it up.

[@jbmodparts4562]

Not sure what disclaimer you're seeing. What version of the Solex app are you running?

[@AIroboticOverlord]

@@jbmodparts4562 Documentation(right lower corner of the Solex app main screen says V.2.3.0 but installed it on this device roughly bout a week ago. Doesnt it install by default the most recent version.

@@jbmodparts4562 the disclaimer that asks if u really want to proceed as the thing ur heading or clicked on has risks i need to be aware of before im able to proceed i first need to press yes or ok or something of that order.

@@jbmodparts4562 new update, my solex doesnt show any packages or any option to choose in the firmwre update section. It also says in the bottom middle No Internet while i have wifi connected and control over the telemetry of solo aswell as calibrating abilitys etc . Strangest thing i notist is in led setups from top the functions only all work selecting downwards until i go below yellow rears . Purple orange Murica! And one or 2 other all dont respond and it stays at the last chosen option that did worked good. Oh only one that does work is the very last one on bottom list "reset". But the ones not working stay unchanged doing nothing...
