I figured I should post an update. I believe I found the ultimate issue with mine. When I was scraping the coating off the pcb, it looks like I was a little too rough and partially lifted the via to the antenna. When checking for continuity, I never thought to check the other side of the board...

I just tried the capacitor and the rssi of the drone went from -50 dbm to -15 dbm, so I think that was it. It hasn't blown up yet, but it's also almost 10:30 pm where I am and I don't feel like pissing off my neighbors with a loud drone at bedtime. I'll go for a test flight tomorrow and hope it...

Also, I actually purchased Auriga after reading your post yesterday but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

That's just what I was looking for, thank you! After comparing, my board is near identical to yours, except my board is a slightly lighter blue (probably just the color of the day at the pcb factory,) I'm missing a capacitor on the right side (in the orientation in the photo,) and the resistor...

Would anyone want to do me a favor and test the resistance of the inductor on their booster on the drone side? I think mine might be shorting internally as the drone now drops the connection at under 1km, and the inductor measures 0 ohms. Also, if someone's got a high res photo of the components...

Well, I said screw it and soldered the cable directly to the board, then made sure to shield it and it seems to work great. It used to be that it'd disconnect about 400 feet away. I went for a quick test flight and flew it about 1.5 miles before bringing it back in (I plead the fifth btw.) The...

I've been soldering and working with smd components since I was 8 years old and I STILL haven't learned the "take your time" bit. More u.fl connectors will be here Saturday... drone side went smoothly. SC2 side didn't... 3 out of 4 u.fl connectors went well. The fourth I melted and I somehow...

Wow, I'm an idiot sometimes... when I saw the url you sent, I realized the tutorial is right at the very top of the page... derp... Thanks!

I purchased my Bebop 2 used about a month ago. The previous owner had snapped the tips off three of the four little locking tabs on the bottom of the battery, so I wound up flipping all four around onto a single screw and sanding down the ends and it's a relatively snug fit, while still being...

That's definitely odd. I'll go see if I can find my old S8 and test it out on my own and see if I can reproduce the issue. I'm sure it's in some drawer or a box somewhere... Did you check the app permissions yet? The barometer relies on the gps/location services to function

I know that enabling airplane mode on an S8 will disable the GPS receiver unless you go and manually reenable it AFTER turning on airplane mode. The barometer might potentially be a permissions issue, but I'm not 100% sure, so check the app permissions to see if you've allowed location services.

I don't suppose anyone's got the manual to install the 2020 booster mod and would be willing to share, would they? My kit just arrived today, and I emailed Solaris earlier for the manual, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I'm an impatient bastard and am dying to start installing it, but I've got...
