| 1 | +## Open Solo - Post Installation Instructions ## |
| 2 | +Regardless of installation method, this is what you will need to do next, leading up to flight. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +1. **Level Calibration:** Use the _IMU Calibration_ function in the Solex app, or the _level calibration_ function in the 3DR app, or the _3D Accel Calibration_ in Mission Planner, or the _Accellerometer Calibration_ in the Tower app to do the level calibration. They all do the same thing and just give it different names. Reboot when complete. |
| 5 | + - The level calibration must be done on a solid, stable, level surface like a table or hard floor. |
| 6 | + - For each axis you calibrate, wait about 5 seconds after putting it down before pressing the button. |
| 7 | + - Make sure the solo is perfectly still when you push the button each time. |
| 8 | + - The first step where it is right side up needs to be both perfectly still and as level as you can make it. The rest do not require perfect leveling. |
| 9 | + - Reboot when complete. The apps may not tell you to reboot. They may tell you to go fly. Trust me. Reboot. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +2. **Compass Calibration:** Use the _Compass Calibration_ function in The Solex app, or 3DR app. Or use the _Onboard Compass Calibration_ in Mission Planner. They all do the same thing and just give it different names. Reboot when complete. |
| 12 | + - Must be done outdoors |
| 13 | + - Must be done in an open area away from buildings, vehicles, reinforced concrete slabs, power lines, MRI machines, metal fencing, etc. |
| 14 | + - Remove any magnetic jewelry or steel accessories you may be wearing |
| 15 | + - Rotate the solo around each of its axes: Right side up, both sides, nose up, nose down, upside-down, etc. If you just spin it around level, it will fail. |
| 16 | + - Reboot when when complete. The apps may not tell you to reboot. They may tell you to go fly. Trust me. Reboot. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +3. **Settings and Options:** Go through the _Vehicle Settings_ menu in Solex or the Solo settings in the 3DR app to set and verify all your settings and options. You will need to set your RTH altitude, A & B buttons, geofence, max altitude, speed sliders, etc. You can also change the WiFi SSID and password. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +4. **FLY!** Find a safe open area to test fly the Solo. Ensure everything is operating as you expect and intend. Enjoy. |
