The High Pro Glow

Welcome! The topics introduced in this blog will vary wildly. Here, you will find a lot of odd topics that are here to help somebody in need. I post off-beat information, hard to find history, & stuff that is otherwise seldom regurgitated in our modern place. Sit back & find something interesting. Comment if you have a need or suggestion.

For Sale - Parrot Bebop, Disco, & Skycontroller Power & Charge Cables

The.High.Pro.Glow - Custom Cables

For All Versions of Parrot Drones, Controllers, & Batteries


** PLEASE READ EVERYTHING **  I have a professional work life combined with an ultra-busy family life. I make cables as a side project because people need these specialized items. Unfortunately, too many people do not read anything on this page before ordering and cant seem to send their mailing addresses. So, I have to disable the instant ordering/payment links for a while. Please, compile your order then email me for a payment link. Questions Are Welcomed.

Prices Include Shipping to US Addresses. USPS shipping recently increased. Sorry!

What?  -I am offering a wide array of cable/adapter solutions built to NASA fabrication standards using the genuine OEM connectors to help keep all models/versions of Parrot Bebops, the Disco, and Skycontrollers powered and working better for longer. I make these cables/adapters for my own use and now for anyone else that can see the benefits. I will explain each cable and their intended use and the benefits they offer.

Why?  -There are many reasons that cables/adapters are needed when departing from the proprietary stock charging and powering setups of the Parrot Bebops, Discos, and Skycontrollers. Specifically, the proprietary stock powering and charging systems are rather weak, expensive, and some ar no longer available. Most of the setups are not providing adequate maintenance to keep battery packs healthy for long-term use and they do not convey adequate information about what is happening within battery packs. Simply charge and hope everything is good to go. Costing users time and money and confidence when an aircraft drops for no apparent reason. This outcome can be avoided with a little knowledge and practicing a little care. 

Purpose?  -Better Balance Charging, reliable power as expected, extending longevity, adaptation between stock proprietary connections and common aftermarket options. These cables adapt Bebop 2 (LiPo), Bebop 2 Power (LiHV), Bebop-Pro (LiHV), the Parrot Disco (LiPo), and Skycontroller (SC2/LiPo, SC2P/Li-Ion) battery packs to typical aftermarket Balance Chargers..so you can ditch the stock chargers..and adapt common R/C power systems and batteries to the stock connections.

--------

Quality Statement! -Built to NASA High-Reliability Hand-Soldering fabrication, process, and verification standards. All OEM connectors, high-grade silicone wiring, and high-quality gold plated connectors with appropriate wire sizes matched to specific applications in alignment with industry standards. 

Aftermarket Balance Chargers have specific connections with a few options of different connector types. I can match connectors to chargers upon request. The Red&Black 4mm Banana connectors are for typical 4-button balance chargers, some use Red Dean's T-Plug type connectors, or Yellow XT-60 for iSDT chargers and the Parrot Disco charging setups. Other connectors available. If you are not sure what you need, just Email Me.

            The SC2P Battery Power Adapter 18650 holder requires a little modification to the battery bay. The plate holding the stock cylindrical battery can easily be removed to make room. The plate is held in with one Torx#6 screw located under the bottom left corner of the label in the battery bay. Unplug/remove the battery, unclipped the connector, lift the corner of the sticker label, unscrew the screw, and lift the plate right out. The new 18650 adapter can be stuck in with thin double-sided 3M foam tape, glue, or just nested with loose foam.

            I will post a video of this instruction soon.

            What is the diffrence between the skycontroller2 battery power adapter and the skycontroller2 battery charge cable ??? Need one for mine with the flat battery

            The "SC2 2S Power Adapter" connects a common hobby-grade 2S LiPo to the SC2 unit for power replacing the stock battery.

            The "SC2 2S Charge Cable" connects the SC2 stock battery to an aftermarket balance charger for charging. A balance modified stock battery or an unmodified stock battery.

            Hey I'd like to know what kind of plug I need to buy for BB1 battery. As well as the plug for SC2p

             
            At 2:48 PM, Blogger Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...

            The Bebop 1 uses a 'Mini-Tamiya' connector with Reverse-Polarity. To match the polarity for wiring...symbols can be found on the B1's battery label. If you find a pre-wired connector and need to swap the contacts...use an ink pen's tube to push down over the contact while gently pulling the wire and contact out. Swap then just push back in until it clicks.

            The SC2P connector is still a bit of a mystery...sorry.
