Hello all!
I just got a parrot bebop 2 (FPV pack) that I really was looking forward to enjoying, but I can't get it connected. I'm hopeful that one of more of you gurus on here can help me out. I'm using my moto Z2 play (Android 8.0). ( note- requires usb-C connection , but I have a cable)
Here's what happens -
1. Connect the battery to drone and power on. (Ok it hums to life and red light at flashing)
2. Connect the skycontroller2 and phone with cable.
3. Power on skycontroller . (Free flight Pro app launches version 5.2.5)
At this point I see my controller connected (battery %, top right), but not a drone. Top model in red says not connected, next to it (in green) says connect.
When I press connect it drops down a menu reading Bebop2-407... (white). After pressing this, you get a spinning propeller then it turns grey. No connection still.
Going to the phone wifi, I switch it to Bebop2-407403. Back in the app still no connection. I reached out to parrot support and they said I needed to update the drone. They emailed me How to update Bebop 2?
It doesn't work the directions are out of date I think. The "update" tab never appears, and their method of determining which version you have doesn't either as there is no "general" tab.
Any ideas?
V/R
P.S. Establishing wifi with the phone and drone BEFORE trying to connect seems to make no difference.
P.P.S. After research a bit on here, I've read this same problem. - once I connect the phone to bebop2 wifi, I go back into the app ( I've never seen video) when I press fly and film it reopens wifi settings. This shows that I'm connected to bebop 2. My only option is to close wifi or forget network.
