How to Install in 3 Easy Steps

01

Power On Your Solo

Turn on your 3DR Solo Copter and Solo Controller. Wait ~60 seconds for the SoloLink WiFi network to broadcast.

02

Connect to Solo WiFi

On your Windows PC or Android phone, connect your WiFi to SoloLink_XXXXXX (Password: sololink).

03

Launch Solo Suite

On Windows, extract the ZIP and double-click SoloSuite.exe. On Android, open the Solo Suite app. Follow the guided on-screen wizard.

â„šī¸

Why is a local updater required?

Because your 3DR Solo copter and controller communicate over a dedicated local network (10.1.1.10 & 10.1.1.1), Solo Suite runs locally on your PC or mobile device to perform direct SSH/SCP firmware uploads and real-time hardware diagnostics safely.
