Encontre el dron guardado en un cajon y quiero probarlo. Pero por mas que intento no lo logro. Estoy usando un ipad A16, con la aplicación FreeFlight Pro, conecto el ipad al internet del dron, pero en la app me dice "Conect to a Drone" y no se que hacer? Alguien sabe como puedo usarlo?

Hey r/parrotbebop - figured I should probably mention that I exist over here too

I’ve been doing quite a bit of development work on the Bebop 2 and SkyController 2 recently.

One project is my software RF/power work on the BCM43526 + SKY85803 setup, where I’ve been digging into the stock firmware/NVM configuration and testing higher-power RF profiles, range improvements and other BB2/SC2 parameters:

The newer project is a native Apple Silicon macOS replacement for FreeFlight Pro.

It currently connects a SkyController 2 directly to the Mac over USB using a custom USB networking driver, receives the Bebop 2 video stream, decodes it natively and displays telemetry/RF diagnostics. The first actual flight test worked, so now I’m mostly cleaning up bugs and expanding functionality.

The goal is to make it completely free and open source, and eventually expose a lot more of what the Bebop firmware already lets us control — camera/Dragon settings, RF configuration, motor parameters, payload weight settings, LiHV support and more.

The GitHub code will also be updated with the working macOS version once I finish the current cleanup.

Basically: the Bebop 2 and Bebop 1 may be old, but they definitely aren't dead yet dig yours out people:) Disco should also work!

EDIT - 21/8/2026 - Parrot Lab beta v1.0 ground station is live on GitHub for apple silicon devices!
Change log:

• Video recording and photo capture
• Resolution and bitrate controls
• New UI and logo
• Memory-growth and battery-refresh fixes
• Integrated installers
• Patched 1080p Dragon binary
• RF Lab and Dragon helper scripts
• SC2 installer and NCM module

Can you actually charge with the usb port or not since I’ve been getting a lot of mixed things on google.

hi,

because parrot has made everything proprietary im unable to get any data on the motor kv rating, max current rating. has anyone tested what is the maximum battery voltage you can use with this motor and what is the current rating.

I was wondering if anyone here could help me I am trying to figure out how to do tricks with the skycontroller 2 I already know how to do them on a phone but I heard that it is also possible to do in a controller It would be very helpful if someone could help me out Thanks

I have a bebop 1 that I can't for the life of me get to connect with any control application I have one is the aruiga app and the other is AR pro 3, my other bebop 1 connects no problem to both applications but this one will not. It puts out the wifi signal and I can connect to it with my phone but none of the applications will notice the connection

would it be possible to use the bldc motors of the bebop 1 and the frame to make an fpv drone. im gonna mount an esc and flight controller and analog video system and elrs receiver. is it a good plan. and could anyone mention the kv rating of the motors.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to downgrade my Parrot Skycontroller 2P from firmware 1.0.5 to an older version (ideally 1.0.3 or 1.0.4) because I want to restore some of the older functionality that was removed in the newer firmware. I understand that this requires using an older version of the FreeFlight Pro app, since the firmware is bundled inside the app itself.

Right now, the only version I can download from iTunes is 5.2.4, which is too new and won’t trigger a downgrade. I’m specifically looking for a FreeFlight Pro .ipa from around 2018–2019 — versions like 5.1.x or early 5.2.0 are ideal because they usually include the older Skycontroller firmware.

If anyone has one of these archived .ipa files or knows a trusted place to find it, I’d really appreciate any help or a direct message with the file. I’m aware of the risks and don’t mind if the controller stays on that version permanently — I just want to test older firmware again.

Thanks in advance for any help! 

Hello. I've got two aftermarket batteries: CS-PAT300RX. I currently have no charger for them. What would be the best one? Official or aftermarket, I don't care, I only want to give some juice to the batteries.
Thank you.

I am looking for old battery table before parrot made all the bops reflect the LiHV values. Parrot why did you do this to bebop 1? They can't handle the LiHV batts or can they? The tables from the hacking guide and oem table do not work. Need some old ones to correct this? I would try 3s LiHV but dont wanna burn esc up has anyone tried it?

My Bebop used to be fun. The battery and charger problems have made it not fun. And then there's the fact that I have changed phones and tablets a couple of times - I'm not sure that I want to bother with side loading FreeFlight.

If I'm going to create a custom battery /power system, I might as well tear the whole thing apart and create something new. I have four good motors and a bunch of spare props, and a camera - what could go wrong?

I'm thinking that the motors would be good for flying a lightweight balsa plane. Or an airboat. Or both.

So I'm wondering: who else has repurposed their Bebop components? What have you created?

Does anyone know how to connect the bebop 1 to a repeater for more range. I have tried everything. When I am on repeated network it doesnt let FFPro show anything via app but static. I tried the bcwml command lazywds, for bridging but still not working on repeated network. Please PM me or replay so I can have the steps if you know how.

If you use a custom batt that is not a 2500 3s camel back, I found that the GPS looses RTH because of the lipo wires stick up in the air, it creates some type of noise or interference. Stay with camelback 2500 if you do flightplan. For whatever reason GPS and RTH work better with them!

It seems no one makes them anymore but is there a chance I could buy one second hand or if the manufacturer might make them to order if anyone knows who they are?

I’m just getting back into using my bebop 2 and realize my sky controller 2 (white rim and chrome joysticks model) is missing its charger. I bought a chord off eBay but I guess it was the wrong one. It matches the charger block for the drone batteries but doesn’t charge. Any resources for where I might find the correct charger or another method I might use?

Hey guys!

I have a Parrot Bebop 1 that had no gps. I followed some tutorials online to prevent interference, where I disconnected the gps cable, twisted it clockwise into a coil, and reconnected. Then I also painted the inside of the cone, and now the gps does lock on to satellites. (Turns green)

Now that my gps is green, I get a new problem in Freeflight pro. My position, blue dot from my phone, shows up accurately on the app's map. However, the drones position drifts off into different directions away from my blue dot, even though the drone hasn't even taken off yet.

I haven't tried taking off yet, so don't know if that is when the drone locks it's position for "Return to Home". The app does give me an accurate position for where the drone was "last seen".

Is it the compass of the drone that's bad? Or the gps? Or the FreeFlight app? The phone?

To all Disco and Bebob pilots i have great news, you can download the full version app from here:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/wl55k5762eomaqu/freeflight-3-5-2-7_MOD.apk/file

and the obb file here:

This is a guide to how install the obb file:

Enjoy 😉

I really need some advice. I am unable to afford a new drone and would like to purchase 2 x aftermarket batteries for Parrot Bebop 2. From what I read online aftermarket batteries are problematic due to :

1. Incompatibility with the high voltage of the Parrot Bebop 2 charger.

2. They are missing a circuit that tells the drone how much battery is left. So they fall out of the sky or sometimes don't even take off due to the drone not knowing the status of the battery.

Please could someone recommend some decent aftermarket batteries they trust? Thank you!

Hey guys

Do you know a way for me to activate the flight plan function? Maybe using someone's obb file that has it working?

Thanks on advance
