How's this thing work? A Bebop 2 FPV pack, opened up and written down.

Fly it, safely

Connect, read telemetry and run the simulator without sending a single piloting command.

Read the protocol

ARSDK3 framing, handshake and encodings, as observed and as read from code.

Inside the firmware

The power button menu, the ArduPilot hook and the flight controller configuration.

Every claim has evidence

Findings carry a file, a command or a capture, and unverified ones say so.
