    Tello Video Web Streaming

    @Krag . Interesting. My plan was to have a Raspberry PI with a second WiFi USB dongle connected to the Tello. On the Pi would be a node server serving REST calls to control the drone. This same Pi could be used to serve the jmuxer video. Let me start to play around with this. Thanks. -John

    Tello Video Web Streaming

    Interesting. Maybe that would help to eventually stream in a browser window. I tried ffmpeg -i udp://192.168.10.1 -f sdl "Tello", but nothing. :( -John

    Tello Video Web Streaming

    I've been following the reverse-engineering threads and I am particularly interested in the live video feed from the drone. I'm wanting to control the drone and offer remote web video feeds from the same raspberry pi. (REST calls to control the drone). I almost have this working, but no...

    PS3 Controller

    FYI, I've taken the fine work at pytello and combined it with the pygame code to allow me to run my tello using a PS3 controller. Nice.. gravesjohnr / pytello-ps3 / source / — Bitbucket You'll need to sort out how to connect the PS3 to your computer using the many tutorials out there...

    Overheating at rest

    I tried the desk fan and it works. It goes for about an hour and fifteen minutes before the battery goes flat. The support people came back to me and said this is just how it is. There is no way to prevent this overheating. I'm still shocked. This reminds me of the first time I asked the...

    Overheating at rest

    FYI, I opened a support case and asked them consider fixing this. There should be several ways to do it.

    Overheating at rest

    Thanks EvoHF. Perhaps I'll try an exchange. Perhaps mine is just faulty.

    Overheating at rest

    Crazy! This is a poor design. I hope future firmware upgrades deal with this. I'm fine with it shutting off the camera and sensors until a takeoff command is issued.

    Overheating at rest

    Will someone please try this and let me know if this is "normal"? Turn on Tello and connect. Don't fly. Wait for a minute or two. See if it shuts off due to overheat. Thanks.

    Overheating at rest

    Thanks for the reply. I'm just trying to verify if this is "normal" behaviour or do I have a bad drone.

    Additional Commands

    All, It took me a bit to sort out how the Tello3.py app worked. I had to do the word 'command' first to get the drone into command mode, then the other commands worked. The set speed was not obvious. It is 'speed' to set and 'speed?' to read the value. The read operations are lower case...

    Overheating at rest

    All, I just purchased a Tello. I love it. But, when the drone is sitting at rest, it turns itself off after about 1 minute and reports back that it has overheated. This seems odd to me. Why would it overheat at rest? Did I get a bad drone? If indeed this is an issue, I assume the camera...
