7 Alerts
The following alerts will appear on the controller in the event of a preflight or in flight error. Always monitor the
controller for alerts and perform the recommended actions.
7.1 Preflight Errors
Before starting the motors, Solo runs a series of automatic checks to ensure that the system is ready for flight. If
Solo encounters an error during these preflight checks, the controller will display the encountered error along with
instructions for the corresponding calibration to perform.
7.1.1
Calibration
The following errors indicate that a preflight check is in progress: altitude calibrating, calibrating solo, and calibrating
compass. Please wait for the error to clear before continuing.
Figure 7.1.1.1: Controller - Calibration in Progress Alerts
If Solo is not placed on a level surface, you will receive the following alert to move Solo to a level surface for takeoff.
Figure 7.1.1.2: Controller - Uneven Surface Alert
If Solo requires manual calibration, the following alert messages show the displays for compass and level
calibrations. Refer to Section 10.2 for compass- and level-calibration instructions.

PREARM SENSOR ERRORS
Altitude calibration
System self-calibrates altitude after altitude disparity
Alert persists until:
System self-calibrates (sys then continues sensor check)
Timeout: after 1 minute (?) (results in “sensor error” screen)

Compass error
User asked to use Solo app to calibrate.
Alert persists until:
User completes calibration using the app (sys then continues sensor check)
Powers off controller, or Solo
Controller auto-shutdown
Note: Artoo will not assume the same error is present on
restart, and will run a fresh check when connected to Solo.
Compass

Please calibrate compass using
the 3DR Solo app
Level error
User is asked to use Solo app to calibrate
Alert persists until:
User complete calibration using the app (sys then continues sensor check)

Note: Artoo will not assume the same error is present on
restart, and will run a fresh check when connected to Solo.
