    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    I did not want to risk loosing the Tello or finding it drop to the ground in the path of an oncoming car while trying to determine how far it could fly before loosing signal. It is simply a safer way to determine the distance from the Tello before the WiFi drops out. Doing it this way, if I...

    TelloMe iOS

    Thank you for your kind words! But no, I did not do any adjustments during the flight other than to pace the speed of the drone. I failed to set the maintain altitude setting, so as a result, if I slowed down the Tello lowered altitude and if drove too fast, it climbed, so I just tried to...

    TelloMe iOS

    Well, I think the credit goes to the developer of TelloMe, wink wink. I just tried to pace it and hope it didn't decide to tangle with a tree, sign post, or something else and it did an amazing job! I posted the video to our Nextdoor community and it was a big hit there. Now I'm getting...

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    Not at all. Maybe you are missing the point? This 'toy' drone is quite capable of doing extraordinary things, especially when/if we know it's limits. The WiFi repeater has shown it can increase the range of the Tello. Adding a WiFi reflector to the repeater can increase it's range even...

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    I have the TelloFPV app and was using it at the time, but the app still thinks you are standing still because you did not fly from the original position. Try it, you will see. Launch the Tello and walk away from it. It does not change the distance, only the WiFi signal will decrease when you...

    TelloMe iOS

    This is a must have app! Really outstanding and I have not tried all the options yet, but I did record a couple of videos with it. This one showcased the excellent work our ground crew is doing in our community.

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    The thickness of the metal is .38mm. The photo was not taken by the Tello. I used Google Earth for that.

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    You are correct, the photo of the mall parking lot was not taken by the Tello. I simply used it to determine the distance I was from the drone using this technique. If you leave the drone stationary and travel to a distance from it to see how strong the WiFi signal is, you can't get a distance...

    A view of the boulevard from a different perspective

    I doubt it, otherwise he would have kept his distance. It is so small it would be hard to see if you were not looking for it, and one would certainly not be expecting to see something like that. I did not even realize he was behind me, probably because I was more concerned that the dog walker...

    A view of the boulevard from a different perspective

    I had gone to pick up the mail and decided to try out the TelloMe app thinking there would be very little traffic. Things went pretty good right up till I got to my driveway and discovered a person walking their dog was just about to cross into where I needed to turn. Fortunately, the dog...

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    So today, I decided to try something different. Rather than risk my Tello, I went back to a safe place in the Mall parking lot and took the Tello up to about 15' and then drove to the other end of the parking lot in my golf cart, leaving the Tello in place. At 475' my WiFi signal strength...

    WOW! That is awesome. And I was being cautious at half that distance.

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    I was at 70db 178' out. Like you, I want to find a better place to push the limits.

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    Before using the reflector, I started getting WiFi interference at 78'. After using the reflector I got no interference warnings at 99' altitude. When I started range testing, I went out to 178' getting a small amount of notifications of WiFi interference at 129' but stopped as I continued on...

    Parabolic Reflector for xiaomi WiFi Repeater

    For those with access to a 3D printer, I have posted my parabolic reflector files on thingiverse.com here... xiaomi Parabolic Reflector by Flashsolutions I went to Home Depot and found a round metal sheet that is easily cut with scissors to slip into the 3D printed mount. The mount slips onto...
