Bebop 2 FPV - CanTwo People Connect ?

[ArtW]

Hello all I'm a new drone user. Is there a way I can connect a second FPV goggle to my drone so my wife can watch where I fly while I use my own FPV Google ? If so what goggles are recommended ? Thanks !

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is still possible with the latest firmware versions but you can try connecting to port 55004 with VLC and of course the IP address of the Bebop (should be 192.168.42.1 most of the time)

I had a similar thought last weekend. I tried connecting 2 devices to the drone (iPad mini 4 and Note 8) both via the Free Flight Pro app. Actually strike that... the drone wouldn't even allow the second device to connect to the WiFi. I imagine this is because of security. You wouldn't want some random person connecting to your drone's wifi and hijacking the connection to steal your drone or to cause mayhem with it!

I wonder about the possibility of having the second device connect to the first device somehow and "Screen sharing". Sort of like how tech support can remotely connect to your computer and see your screen?

Hmmm... this might warrant further thought....

I think you can do it with the Sky Controller 1.

They have a usb and hdmi port.

You may have to give your wife the goggles and you will have to fly the drone "within visual line of sight".

You can set up - in iOS - a 'hotspot' on your device that can be connected by other devices so they can use your WiFi connection. The other devices can use your WiFi to connect to internet etc, but can not use your screen for streaming etc. As you figure it out yourself, WiFi direct to the BB2 is not possible because its a single WiFi connection.

Very easy. All you need is a Sky Controller 1 (with HDMI output for FPV), a $6 HDMI splitter from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Adapter ... dpSrc=srch), and 2 sets of HDMI FPV goggles.

Great idea I will have to get one of these splitters....


PS ...... ?? Is that you "IslandBob" ??

I'm just curious...
Has anybody ever tried connecting a USB data hub to the SC2 output and then two phones into the hub? If the phones are both in FFPro and set to FPV could the SkyController 2 feed video to 2 devices this way? The individual device handshaking might confuse the SC2, but it might not since FPV is basically one-way...

I can't seem to find an old hub kicking around the house to test with. Anybody else want to give it a try?

Interesting idea, will have to hunt for my old hub and give it a try.
