    Recording / storing video stream using python?

    In the end I found this post How to process raw UDP packets so that they can be decoded by a decoder filter in a directshow source filter that explained that for a UDP stream you'll have to at least insert a header of 0x000001 before writing each frame, so by modifying the tello_video...

    Recording / storing video stream using python?

    Thanks @ZoomD for that writeup, there are some interesting bits in there. I'm really resource restrained in my project, but I could probably insert a sequence tag into the stream before storing each frame, and then write each package back into ffmpeg when I transfer it to my laptop. Probably not...

    Recording / storing video stream using python?

    I've been playing around with the python examples on github (dji-sdk/Tello-Python) , but one thing I can't seem to figure out, is how to store the video stream to a file and play back later. I have no issues watching the stream live using the provided h264decoder library, but how can I store the...

    Gamesir t1d controller won't pair on Bluetooth with my Oppo F9

    I found the t1d a bit fiddly to pair. While you think you are suppose to pair it in the normal bluetooth menu of the phone, I had to go into the tello app, select settings (cog wheel)-> bluetooth. Then press the pair button on the controller while selecting the controller in the app menu... give...

    Onboard antenna as extender?

    I did something similar with a d-link dmg-112a (Easiest +200m mod? Onboard with the D-Link DMG-112A ) which I later put on a lego adapter. It stuck about 5cm/2in above, and the adapter itself was about 20gr, +10gr for cable and adapter. I took the guards and top cover off to save some weight...

    Best placement for repeater

    Could share some details/design of the mirror? how much performance gain do you reckon it gives you? Sweet setup btw!

    Easiest +200m mod? Onboard with the D-Link DMG-112A

    Indeed. As mentioned under the picture (I ran out of park and did not dare to venture over the houses due to the wind), even if the houses look close, there's about 30 m of park left. Would not do that over an area I could keep LOS and not easily recover it!

    Streaming Video from Tello and Tello EDU Drones with Python

    @frequency , 1) Yeah, that looks right. Try it and see what happens! "If I change the py file will the red circle (Compiled python file) effected???" They should not. The .py files are the human readable scripts (~english), however, this means when the computer runs them it has to be...

    Streaming Video from Tello and Tello EDU Drones with Python

    @frequency , no, I did test again, and found that while the camera worked, the only commands aside from taking off and landing that worked were rotate (cw/ccw). I obviously could not let that rest unresolved. I found that there is a bug(s) in the script where the move commands don't check what...

    Streaming Video from Tello and Tello EDU Drones with Python

    Evening, I became curious myself how you get this working, and have to admit the instructions were rather unclear. Perhaps I can help by sharing what I've learned. The install script is flaky/unreliable, it even says so in the install notes (TelloPython_FAQ.txt), and you must probably install it...

    TelloX: Make a Tello Fly Autonomously

    It's quite a valid argument. There are a few builds on the forum that already is using the port for onboard WiFi repeaters and other dev boards. That said, it will be a trade off as it uses power that otherwise could be used to power the drone itself. Do you add an extra battery, but have to use...

    TelloX: Make a Tello Fly Autonomously

    Interesting controller board, really light. Did you consider powering it off the USB port on the Tello? you might be able to save some weight by doing so?

    Video

    Even with repeater(s), in (sub)urban areas or inside, I find there is a lot of wifi interference causing the video to break up. Around my place ~40m is a stretch, however, going out in the country side improves things a lot!

    Easiest +200m mod? Onboard with the D-Link DMG-112A

    While it is nothing new to daisy-chain wifi repeaters, with one on-board and one on the ground to achieve more than 200 m range, as demonstrated e.g. with the excellent build in Xiaomi Repeater onBoard Tello mod using the hobby's favorite MI WiFi repeaters, I have been a bit uneasy about trying...
