Parrot Bebop Drone: Blinking green light why?

Sun, 06 Aug 2023 21:08:35 -0700

Had a sudden loss of power or signal with drone it fell and broke cross section. Can't connect wirelessly or via usb. Just getting blinking green light which usually means motors out.

Any way stripped it a little and found white motor power plug completely disconnected. Unsure if this occurred on impact or worked loose causing motor stall.

Great thinks I. An easy job. Puts connector back firmly in place and checks all gold antenna connectors are seated and in situ.

Puts it back together and its the same. Giving off no wifi signal to connect to for diagnostic tests on motors.

Any one any clues? Could mainboard be toast.

Parrot Bebop Drone: The light on the drone blinks green then turns red

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 01:48:51 -0700

After I had an accident in which my Parrot Bebop fell about 75 feet, I could not turn the drone on again. When I pressed the rear light to start the drone, first the light blinked green and then turned red.

I at first thought the problem was one motor that had been damaged. I replaced the motor in question, but the light still blinked green and turned red.

Eventually, I took the drone removing the motors, camera, and gps until there was only the motherboard connected to the battery. Now, I still get the same response. When I press the turn on button the light blinks green and then turns red.

Do you have any suggestions for repairing this Parrot Bebop?

Parrot AR.Drone: What is the best glue for repairing the expanded polystyrene?

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 14:22:45 -0700

Hi,

I have used the AR drone twice and have already caused significant damage to the expanded polystyrene - the piece the camera fits on has all but snapped off.

I have made the mistake of using polystyrene cement on it which DOES NOT work. This glue is meant for high density polystyrene; the cement melts lower density stuff.

I've had a look around and people seem to suggest all sorts of glues: epoxy, copydex, foam-safe superglue, etc...

Has anyone experimented and have a definitive answer?
