a. **Solex:**
* In the Solex menu all the way at the bottom, select `Firmware Updates`.
* While your device has an internet connection, hit the refresh button to pull down the latest from the server.
* While your device has an Internet connection, click the required packages to download them. `ArduCopter_x_Firmware.zip`, and `ArduCopter_x_parameters.zip`. The available status will change to downloaded for each one.
* While your device has an Internet connection, click the `ArduCopter_x_Firmware` package to download it. The available status will change to downloaded for each one. You should also download any applicable parameter packages for modifications you have on your Solo such as the HERE or retractable landing gear.
* If not already, reconnect to the Solo's WiFi and make sure Solex says it's connected to vehicle.
* **Install ArduCopter:** In the Solex firmware updates menu, tap the `ArduCopter 3.5.x Firmware` package. Read the notice and select `install`. All the files will be copied to the Solo in all the right places. When prompted, power cycle the Solo. It will reboot, then switch into bootloader mode. Normally you will see disco lights while it's doing this. But if the LED driver isn't enabled, you may not. Don't worry. It's working. Give it 3-5 minutes to process. You may hear some clicks as the Pixhawk reboots. After 3-5 minutes, you will hear some tones signalling completion. It will come back to life, reconnecting with the controller and Solex.

* **Load Parameters:** With the Solex app reconnected to the Solo, click the `ArduCopter 3.5.x Parameters` package. Read the notice and select `install`. If you have the HERE or landing gear, go ahead and load those parameter packages now too, prior to rebooting. One you've loaded the parameters pacakges, reboot the solo.
* **Load Parameters:** _If you have the HERE GPS/Compass or retractable landing gear, you will need to load those parameter packages now. If you do not have either of these modes, you should skip this step._ With the app reconnected to the Solo, click the package. Read the notice and select `install`. One you've loaded the parameters pacakges, reboot the solo.
* **Complete:** The solo will reboot and reconnect to the controller and apps. You will notice the LEDs now look like an aircraft rather than a car. Installation complete!
