    Status Light Codes and is there an Error Log?

    FWIW: Ryze just confirmed that the warning lights are normal and will go off if close to your set maximum height. Also: Ryze: You can export data in the following paths: Android: File Management/Local/SD Card/Android/data/com.ryzerobotics.tello/files/droneLog/ iOS: File Sharing/Tello/log...

    Firmware

    If you do the video, also get the flight log. After providing a video, they came back and asked for the flight log, so had to do it again. Ryze: You can export data in the following paths: Android: File Management/Local/SD Card/Android/data/com.ryzerobotics.tello/files/droneLog/ iOS: File...

    Prop Guards Off Increase Flight Time?

    I did a battery test with the tello just hovering, which is not as efficient as flying, but is very repeatable test. 2 minutes additional flight time . ? No guards for me when flying outside.

    Fast mode turn off glitch

    I did three flights last night around the yard. The only quirk I saw was on the second flight. I take off and land from the same pad. On this landing noticed that I was a negative 4ft in elevation at about 3ft above the pad. Maybe coincidence, but on this flight I forgot to go back in and...

    Tello update problem

    I only tried reducing the angle once, and it was during flight, and it worked. I may have gotten lucky. I don't think I will be using that function, but if I do, will change before lift-off. Using the 360 or circle functions kicked me into slow mode, which I don't like, but able to switch...

    Firmware

    While I didn't see the forced slow issue, the vision system seemed to be a little more erratic. I did the IMU calibration and that seemed to make an improvement. When I ran the indoor battery test (other thread) the AC stayed very stable. Regardless, it is easy to do, and can eliminate as a...

    My Tello Battery Test

    Outdoor Validation Test: Ran in fast mode, high quality photo setting, taking video of the whole run, control via iPhone. No wind, mostly slow flying, with some up and down elevation, some "strafing" runs at full speed across my yard length, about 250'. Went to 11 minutes before 20%...

    My Tello Battery Test

    Test with No Guards: Battery # 20% 0% Battery #1 10:40, 12:02 Battery #2 10:39, 12:20 Battery #3 10:34, 12:13 Needless to say, my yard flights will not be with any prop guards.

    My Tello Battery Test

    The tests above were with prop guards installed. Tested Battery #1 without guards today. At 10:40 received the 20% warning and at 12:02 the AC landed. Almost a 2 min improvement, which I have seen posted in some threads on this site. Much better.

    Charger Question

    That is the one I have. I use it with a 12V/3A adapter. I like the ability to read each battery voltage and current draw. I haven't done any charge timing and only had it a week or so, so can't commit on its longevity.

    Upgraded to latest firmware and now drone won’t take off

    Check that the props are on the right motors. If so, redo IMU cal.

    My Tello Battery Test

    Thx for your input. Do you fly to the 20% warning, or a slightly riskier level? I did send the info to Ryze for their comment. ie is this normal?

    My Tello Battery Test

    After flying my new Tello for a week or two, it seemed like the battery life was less than I was expecting given a 13 minute rating. I hadn’t timed any of the flights, so it was just a gut feeling. I have three official Tello batteries. The one that came with the drone has a mfg label as...

    What cases are available for Tello?

    I have that one, but it is already getting a bit crowded with Mi2 Extender, battery, and iPhone sunshade. If I had to buy another, would look at this one: Case It is a little deeper, and think I could fit those items, plus manuals behind the mesh, and maybe even the 3-bank charger, with...

    Status Light Codes and is there an Error Log?

    I think I found what it is related to. I set the new height parameter to 7 ft for "protection" when flying inside. If I set that back to 30 ft, I get the normal two blink green. It must be some type of warning if you are within a certain distance to the height ceiling setting.
