	With the latest firmware one gets better ~~Video~~ imagery. ~~So if you can.. use the latest firmware from parrot~~		Although Paparazzi volunteers test flew the Bebop with old Firmware v1.98.11 and v2.0.57, v3.0, v3.2, v3.3, v3.9 Use the latest firmware available for your Parrot. As a bonus With the latest firmware one gets better video imagery among all other improvements.

	~~The Paparazzi volunteers test flew the Bebop with Firmware v1.98.11 and v2.0.57, v3.0, v3.2, v3.3, v3.9,~~ v4.0.6, v4.7.1		* v4.0.6 is the latest firmware for Bebop 1.
			* v4.7.1 is the latest firmware for Bebop 2

	Note that under v4.0.x the hardware accelerated extra nifty features for the front cam don't work (yet..) nOne could use the original encoder from the v3.9 firmware if wanted. So if you need hardware assisted compressed video imagery and have a Bebop 2 do not update to v4.x just yet. Or better fix the camera not working issue...		Since Parrot stopped producing Bebop's, those firmware version will be the ultimate final firmwares to exist.

	~~The v4.0.6 is the latest firmware for Bebop 1. For bebop 2 Latest is v4.7.1.~~

	Parrot stopped producing those ~~Drones so this~~ will be the ultimate final firmwares to exist.

			== Serial console ==
			A physical serial port is accessible under the front cover. You can remove it properly by removing the 2 screws holding it and then cutting the glue between the foam and the main body with a thin blade.
			See [https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-for-bebop-on-linux.html] for pictures.

			The serial port on Bebop side is <code>/dev/ttyPA0</code> at 115200 bauds.
			If you can see the console output from an external terminal but don't get the prompt to type command, log with telnet and add the following line to the <code>/etc/init.d/rcS</code> file:

			sh --login < /dev/ttyPA0 > /dev/ttyPA0 &
