By default the Bebop from Parrot is a Wifi controlled flying quadrotor, designed to be controlled with an Android or iOS device. No more restrictions as from now; with a few simple clicks you can run Paparazzi on the Bebop and have full autonomous flight and much more! Steps you will need to follow: Voila, you will get telemetry from the Bebop. Now it is up to you how and where to fly. Useful things to watch are: Do you need help with any of the steps? Please visit us at https://gitter.im/paparazzi/discuss In case for a simor motor model The Bebop has 4 Brushless motors, which are controlled by the cypress chip on I2C-1. This Cypress chip contains custom made firmware(BLDC) by Parrot, which can be automatically updated using a bootloader in the ESC part of the mainboard. The firmware from Parrot contains a nice closed loop RPM control, which is automatically tuned inside the factory. Since version 2 Parrot changed the order and rotation direction of the motors.

For more information about how to communicate with the BLDC look at Bebop/BLDC. Or take a look at the "bebop" actuator inside the airborne/boards/bebop/ folder. The original programs on the Bebop For the Bebop you need to use a recent version GNU gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.4-2ubuntu1) 4.7.4 provided with Ubuntu since 14.04 LTS. the past you could also crosscompile with Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.03-57 for ARM GNU/Linux from Greedy Mentor Graphics, previously called codesourcery. However the open'ness there is nowhere to be found anymore, so we'll say "No thanks" to Codesourcery ,now Greedy Mentor" but if you insist , feel free restricted. Make sure the video_rtp_stream.xml module enabled in the airframe. Receive a video stream with e.g. avplay, vlc or a python app: You can reset the Parrot Bebop Drone to factory settings. You will loose all your photos and movies recorded on your Bebop. To do this you need to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.

The LED will blink green and orange for a while, then green and the drone will shutdown. Theoretically is is not important which firmware you use for Paparazzi to fly. But with the latest firware we get better Video imagery. So if you can.. parrot ar drone director modeuse the latest firmware.parrot ar drone 2 offerte The Paparazzi volunteers test flew the Bebop with Firmware v1.98.11 and v2.0.57, v3.0, v3.2, v3.3, v3.9, v4.0.3ar drone 2 inceleme Note that under v4.0.3 the Front cam doesn't work (yet..)x rebirth cargo lift drones The v3.3.0 is the latest firmware version know as of 20170215 for Bebop 1. ar drone parrot autonomie

For bebop 2 Latest know is v3.9 final and v4.0.3 Beta If even newer firmware is available please report any (if any) issues found related to the firmware on e.g. the mailinglist. The original Bebop2 damper are very soft and can cause oscillations around roll. parrot ar drone custom firmwareYou can print harder dampers from Thingiverse yourself that will degrade the video quality but remove these oscillations. Use the _nodamp airframe files in that case. The Bebop has this tiny USB connector just above the power button. This USB connector can also be used with help of a USB to Serial FTDI conversion board. To use the driver in current firmware OTG serving should be off. More information, photos, connection examples, sourcode and real life example of how to use this port.Commercial drones and radio-controlled aircraft are of increasing concern, with commercial airlines afraid of collision and property owners worrying that their privacy is being invaded.

Another risk is the possibility of hijacking or jamming a drone in flight. In recent years several security researchers have made public vulnerabilities for these flying machines. In some cases even providing full source code or tools to play their attacks.I will be sponsoring an effort for compilation of vulnerable drone and vulnerability testing/exploit methodologies. As part of that effort, this report has been prepared to provide a ready reference of vulnerable drones and associated attack tools. This document compilation should promote a better understanding of how drone vulnerability is currently exploited, and how future drone will take advantage of improvements in available vulnerability research data. I’ll try to keep this page updated as new drone vulnerability details go out.Last updated: Wednesday, March 1, 2017Drones ManlioProsumer DroneVideo DronesFollow QuadcoptersRated QuadcoptersQuadcopters DronesQuadcopters ReviewsQuadcopter StuffQuadcopter TodayForwardThe Phantom 4 is DJI's most advanced "prosumer" drone ever, and it looks pretty sharp, too

By: Tara Tiger Brown and Sean Bonner This should go without saying, but by hacking these off the shelf devices you are voiding all warranties. This is important because if you kill your drone by cutting it up you have to know ahead of time that you won’t be able to call anyone at the company to help you troubleshoot. Same goes for the Dropcam - it’s intended for indoor use in a controlled environment not to be flown all over the place outside strapped to a drone. So just know going into this you are on your own. Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Quadcopter @ $299 Dropcam WiFi HD Camera @ $149 (use this option for wifi/live web streaming) or HackHD Camera @ $160 (use this option to record to SD card and view later) Monoprice 50ft 14AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable @ $21 4 x Deans Connectors @ $0.95 ea few small zip ties Power Supply (we used a power supply from a PC, which requires two 4 pin Molex Connectors @ $0.95 each, but anything that supplies 12v at around/up to 8A should work.)

5v Power Regulator @ $1.25 or 3.3v Power Regulator if using HackHD instead of Dropcam Heat Sync plus Mounting Parts (Screw, Nut, Locknut) @ $0.95 ea Thermal Tape @ $3.95 Micro USB cable that you are willing to cut up (to power the Dropcam) Soldering Iron/Station - we prefer variable temp but there are lots of options that should work. Lead solder (easier to de-solder if you need to) Knife (xacto or similar) Hot Glue Gun and Glue All project photos are here Project Video #1 is here Project Video #2 is here Part 1 - Preppin' the Parrot Setup Dropcam Account here. Make sure it can connect properly and you can access it. Decide if you want the feed to be private or public. Install one of the Parrot AR Drone apps on your smartphone of choice. Ensure your drone works and you can fly it around. Say goodbye to all that mobility and fancy handling Part 1 - Parrot (Teardown reference on iFixit) Take off the top hull (the piece with the blue and orange stickers).

You won’t need it and getting rid of it gives you more lift. Parrot without the hull and battery Peel off the plastic plate on the bottom of the drone from the back, but not all the way. You’ll see that there’s a rather large cavity in the drone, you’ll be shoving your camera in there. Cut a circle hole in that plastic cover large enough for your camera lens to pop out, but small enough to hold the rest of the camera guts inside. Note that we didn’t glue the dropcam into the hull, it’s just kind of in there. Parrot with the Dropcam inside the hull and a piece cut out for the cable. Cut about a half inch notch in the side hull, to allow cables to get to your camera. Mod the power connector to use Deans connectors - this way you’ll be able to use the battery or the power tether. Soldering to the Deans connectors can take some time and lots of heat, so be patient and persistent. We used a male (M) connector on the drone, however this is very dangerous.

If the male leads come into contact with anything conductive, you can short that battery and cause a fire. Don’t do what Donny Don’t does, and always connect the famle end to any battery or other power source! Also, be sure to not solder on two of the same ends. Nothing worse than finishing up and finding both ends of the wire you are trying to connect are female. Parrot power connector modded with the Dean’s connector Part 2 - Connector for Tethered Power Connectors, voltage regulator and speaker wire ready to be soldered This is the piece that will connect your Parrot and Cam to the single line of power running up the tether. Remember what we said earlier about the Deans connectors, make sure you keep that in mind here. Make sure you have: Deans connector to connect to power connector on the Parrot (F) Deans connector to connect to the speaker wire/power cable (M) Speaker wire - Cut two lengths - 6” and 4” should be good Mini USB - Cut at about 5”

See photos 4a/b for clear explanation, but the flow here will be from the power cord to split (from M Deans connector) with A side (6” wire) going to the Parrot (F Deans Connector), and B side (4” wire) going to the power regulator then mini USB to the cam. Remember to watch polarity when soldering! ProTip: Speaker wire usually has a marker/indicator to show the + line. When soldering the Mini USB, you only need to solder the RED (power) and BLACK (ground) lines, since there’s no data being transferred over that cable thanks to the built in wifi on the Dropcam, or SD card on the HackHD. Part 3 - Powerline (Tether) With 18 AWG speaker wire we were able to get a tether of 10’ and fly indefinitely. We tested 30’ with 14 AWG and were able to stay in-flight for about 10 minutes. More testing to do! Create a 2nd short connector piece that has a (F) Deans connector on end, and an adapter to connect to whatever power source on the other. For our purposes that meant 2x Molex connectors to snap onto 2 power leads from the PC power source.
