4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss

Action

Try these options sequentially until the minidrone appears in the scan result:

  1. Check these settings and follow the steps in Add a Parrot Mambo Minidrone to a Windows System:

    1. The drone battery is charged.

    2. The <bluetooth interface IP address> set using the sudo ifconfig bnepx <bluetooth interface IP address> up command is not assigned to any other interface.

      If the IP address is already assigned to any other interface, specify a new Bluetooth® interface IP address according to these guidelines:

      • The subnet address, typically the first 3 bytes of the interface IP address, must be the same as the first 3 bytes of the drone IP address. The drone IP address for Rolling Spider is 192.168.3.5 by default.

      • The last byte of the interface IP address must be different from the last byte of the drone IP address.

  2. Restart the minidrone, wait until both LEDs on the minidrone turn green, and follow the steps in Add a Parrot Mambo Minidrone to a Windows System.
