Sky controller 2 flashing red light

[Swordfish]

Yesterday I had a problem with the skycontroller 2. I have your upgrade for drone and skycontroller 2 black sticks (the new upgrade). I was about to fly and I was rotating the drone and suddenly the skycontroller light puts red and starts flashing and I lost connection with drone and the drone keeps rotating as I was doing. The rth worked fine when connection was lost after 30 seconds (my setting to rth). Thanks for Reading this is my first time this happen I was flying at the beach.

Connection of the battery? It happen with mi original batery that is not good...now I am using an 18650 I will try with that today. Another thing that sometimes happen also with new battery is red light on the controller I have to turn it of and then it change to green

I'm getting exactly the same problem - but have a little more information

My drone is on and I can connect via its wifi via my phone and fly it fine.
My controller battery is charged to 100% and I can connect to it via USB cable
Both drone and controller are on the latest firmware

But my SkyController 2 will not connect to my Beboop 2 - it just flashes a red light. So I'm guess it falls into the previous posters "controller has detected a problem with the drone" (?) Is there anyway to get more information about this potential error

Any other options for me to try?

thanks in advance

You can try this:

To factory reset your Skycontroller 2, you simply need to disconnect the battery from the controller, keep it disconnected for 1-2 minutes, then reinstall the battery. Your Skycontroller 2 will automatically reset with this procedure.

If your skilled at using computers you could try the pes utility to access the skycontroller and see what is going on:

Reset the drone to factory always works for me if I can't connect. With drone on press and hold the power button for 10 seconds and let It Go it'll eventually start flashing and then shut off and turn on when it turns back on it's ready to go

I managed to get it running after manually logging into the drone and changing the IP network assigned to the wifi in /sbin/bcm.... something script can't remember the path

the gist is that the controller is hardcoded to connect to 192.168.41.1 no matter what IP it gets over DHCP, but the drone switched to using 192.168.42.0/24 network range; moving the drone IP to 192.168.41.1 solves the problem
