Hello,
I am new with the bebop 1.
Just bought two here in germany for 50 € each in new condition from a warehouse clearing of a professional german seller on ebay that gives me a 1-year-guarantee. The Seller says that the drones are new, only were used as display in a shop or so. When the drones arrived protection adhessives e.g. on the bottom stille sticked on the drones, so it seems that they are really in new condition. So I think he did not sell me broken drones.
The seller told that the drones do not come with batteries. I think this is because the original parrot-batteries that came with the drones were dead, so he he did remove it. So I ordered three aftermarked batteries from german seller vhbw that got good reviews.
I started the first drone and connected it to my android-smartphone, what did well. Of course it tells me in the wifi-menu of the smartphone that the smartphone ist connected to the bebop, but the internet may not be available (because the bebop is not an internet-router). Afterwards I started the FreflightPro app I have had already installed. But FreeFlightPro always tells me that the sync failed and that I should check my internet-connection.
I tryed the same with the second drone. Did not work either, same problem.
Then I tried it with another smartphone: It happens the same on the other smartphone: Wifi-connection to the drones can be easily established, but FreflightPro refuses to sync with the drones.
Last I tried to connect the drones to the Skycontroller I also purchased. Skycontroller shows on the left side besides the wifi-symbol a red LED, On the right side beside the battery-symbol 1 white LED an below that on the right side, besides the drone-symbol one red LED. But here also the two bebops refuse both to react on commands sent from the skycontroller.
I do not think the wifi-modules in the drones are broken, because connections to the smartphones are established.
Can anybody help?
Wanted to give my daughter a nice drone with good camera as a christmas gift. The other one I wanted to use as a support for my work as a forester to get a quick overview on forest stands from above. No I already fail to get a connection to the App or the Skycontroller. I know the bepop 1 is outdated, but I saw on youtube people still flying this drone in 2021 and 2022 with pleasure.
All the videos I saw on the internet about connecting bebop and app it seems to be so easy....
Thanks in advance for your help!
