This section provides a technical description for the 3DR Solo system, including components, communication, control, telemetry, and operator interaction. 1.1 System Overview The 3DR Solo system includes the Solo quadcopter, Solo controller, “3DR Solo” app, and the human operator. The operator interacts with the controller and app on the ground, and the controller communicates with the Solo quadcopter during flight. The 3DR Solo system includes the Solo quadcopter, controller, “3DR Solo” app, and the human operator. The operator interacts with the controller and app on the ground, and the controller communicates with the Solo quadcopter during flight. Solo Quadcopter Solo is a small unmanned aerial vehicle powered by four brushless motors and four propellers. Solo’s onboard computers control navigation, attitude, and communications in flight while sending real-time telemetry and video output and receiving control inputs over the 3DR Link secure WiFi network. Solo is optimized for aerial imagery using a GoPro® HERO camera. Controller The controller provides joystick, button, and dial controls and displays in-flight data on a full-color screen. Using twin long-range dipole antennae, the controller acts as the central hub for all communication on the 3DR Link network, receiving all communications from Solo and the app, forwarding telemetry outputs to the app, and controlling the transmission of all control inputs to Solo. App The “3DR Solo” app outputs a live video stream from Solo’s onboard camera to an Android or iOS device. The operator can use the app to view the live video with overlaid telemetry and access a simplified graphic interface for controlling Solo’s advanced functions. The app connects to the 3DR Link network to receive video and telemetry outputs and send control inputs.
