Hi Ironsky! There are no issues with either S7 just the BB2! I have another bb2 that connects to both phones without issues! I have "reset" the BB2 several times without any change! It doesn't always display it's Wifi name so I suspect there is a problem there but don't know how to resolve it
Hi Ironsky1! Received today a GPS board from the US of A! Done nothing with it yet because I have a Galaxy Note 2 without sim card which I propose attempting to connect to the Bebop2! Which board would you suggest puts out the network ID? I do appreciate hearing from you cos boy do I need help?Time to start swapping parts. AT least you can get them for BB2 . I would start with the board that the antennae are terminated to. Ant are in the legs on BB2 pretty easy to take apart (not like the anafi). The module on top of camera is GPS.
Main board has ant connections

Hi Ironsky1! I haven't tried the controller yet! It was supplied used with an SC1 but I have also an SC2! Just tried connecting to the Galaxy Note 2 and looks more promising! I have broadband in the house and the note connects to it & then swaps to the drone but no video shown? Should I be trying to connect these outdoors or indoors please? It connects but no video then it disconnects & reconnects to my broadband! It looks like it's the main board I does not connect to wifi! The other BB2 connects with video! I'll try the new board but it looks like I have lots of spares!
Ironsky1! That is exactly what happens with the BB2 that connects with all three phones! I'm aware that the internet is not needed! But should I be trying this outside rather than in the house! My broadband is part of a network? I have contacted the guy I bought it from & I suspect he was aware of what has happened!
Hi! Ironsky1! Now that I can relate to! That appears to be what the "red" BB2 is doing! I have an app on the "note 2" called "smart switching" which seems to assist the "red BB2" in going back to the gateway! To which "settings" do you refer please? I purchased both BB2's from Ebay in the UK! One is a red BB"" with 52 hours flying logged using. I'm told, an Ipad on a SC1 controller whilst the other was almost new with only 0.25 hours flying logged on test using an SC2! It came with a prop missing, presumed destroyed! and slight damage to the nose which I replaced! When challenged the seller owned up to the damage saying he need to check that it did fly? It is a white FPV version & although I have never tried it I presume it will fly! It connects to the S7 and the app immediately and shows video! The "red" BB2 doesn't although it did when I first received it! The signal it puts out seems to weaken everytime it is connected, when asked the seller doesn't even reply? I await a wifi board costing £11 GBP, due tomorrow! and I will be replacing the nose on that which shows signs of wear near the Parrot logo & a crack in the EPP! Your comments are welcomed & very much appreciated! Thank you! I once visited a town called Bowling Green in Ohio USA!
Hi Ironsky1 I will try these later it's 2:35 am here in the UK! I live in a village called Maltby in South Yorkshire just off the M18/M1! Letchworth is about 140 miles south towards the M11! I do really appreciate your help! I hold an H rating with the BMFA and am more used to fuel or electric helicopters than drones like the BB2! I have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus which I bought many years ago & never flew! I has been surpassed now by the Phantom 3 & 4! I bought the two BB2's on a whim! The DJI has it's own controller and I use 2x J R McGregor 9X computer radios for my fuel helis along wth a JR X384! one of the 9X's is on a 2.4Mhz module & the other 9X and X384 are on 35 Mhz channel 57! I'm 75! And recently recovered from cancer although I now have AF having suffered a heart attack in 2015 when I was working! I'm a retired Mechanical Engineer with a history in Mechanical Handling & Cryogenics! I tell you these things not to bore you but to give you some idea as to why the interest in Bebop 2's! Kind of fills out the story! When I was 35 or so I was offered a job with Bethlehem Steel but declined! Since then I have been to Manhatten, Miami, Los Vegas, Boulder (Space Pens) Denver in Colorado & Ohio where my Brit mate, Dave Slater lives (BP limey)with his American wife! I love America & the American people moreso when they are in America than when they are anywhere else! Are you familiar with Mildenhall in the UK (near Lutterworth)? Big USAF base from where they used to fly the Lockheed SR71 & U2? Right alongside the M11 going down to the Thames Tunnel on the M25! I have a friend called Mike Malone who is a Riverboat Captain in the Gulf Area! I email him occsionally & he sends me photos from his travels! I have two Samsung Tab 2's so I will try to bind the white BB2 to that! I think I need either a miracle or some serious part swapping on the red BB2! i think the camera has stopped working on that one hence no video and the split in the EPP nose cone! The seller has been "economical" with the truth!
Hi Ironsky 1! Didn't fly the white BB2 because I had issues with a muppet on Ebay! Wanted me to drive 490 mile round trip to collect the main board when we had agree £1.77 postage? I have another arriving next Wednesday 21st hopefully! I need to better understand the flight planner map installer in FFP!
Try a different android phone or tablet note the version of android os if it works reset the problem phone to fresh install of OS with just FFP installed. There are a lot of variables from device to device some can be problematic. I USE note 5 with no sim card just wifi i also use samsung tab 2 and tab 3 tablets.
Ironsky! Sir? I'm stuck? Please help? FP? How do I put a map of my local are on FP? Please?
