Bebop 2 and controllers

jmagostinho · Dec 30, 2019

Hi guys,

I recently had a curiose episode wiht my bebop 2....so i toke off and connection gone ..... i had to grab one leg of the drone and pull it down till it crashed...... strange thing is that i was in an area with no interference what so ever and i was only a meter away from the drone..... This made me wonder if anyone had tryed to connect a different controller to the Bebop.... oh, by the way, i control my bebop with a Flypad and android smartphone (i know the flypad does nothing and the Skycontroller is the one to have.....) i also use a wifi repeater to prevent lost connections but it does seems to help lol .

I saw a DJI controller with 2 antenas and i was wondering if it would work with bebop....anyone?

Thanks

I suspect the WiFi repeater (or your setup) actually caused the lost connection.

Hmmmm.....so you suggest that i remove the repeater from the setup? Because the only "extra" really is the repeater....

That's an easy test, no?

Well, tryed and without the repeater i lose connection sooner, i could not replicate the immediate problem after takeoff.... i reconfigured everything from scratch and tested, noticed an improvement on the distance with the repeater on....and ordered a new and different repeater with 2 antennas....will report back after testing.

Thanks

(I've flown my BB2 with a PS3 controller and a Ipega 9023 controller but the skycontroller is the best.)
I've had the same experience where my BB2 didn't seem to react to my phone but I guess that my tablet which was in my backpack "hijacked" the wifi.

well none of those will help the increase of quality in the connection

For now the repeater and flypad will have to do the job eheheheh

Thanks guys
