    Drinking and droning

    May I suggest that you look at purchasing a used Nexus6p? Come to the (Android) Dark Side. Due to worries about Huwawei, it is an excellent value. It does not need to be used as a phone, and for $40 - $60, you have a dedicated device that runs TelloFPV. Connect to home wireless to update, etc.

    ERROR NO VALID IMU (even in a well lit room).

    Before doing anything, while Tello is still on ground, send 'command' to it. You should get OK. Then send takeoff. What happens?

    Not a lighting issue. Try this ...

    VPS unavailable

    I never had any real problems flying indoors, maybe a bit over smooth floors, indoors winter in low light. BUT, I do sort of remember that there was tinted plastic over the IR sensors on the bottom of the Tello, the stuff they use to protect from scratching during assembly at the factory. Make...

    is there a way/hack that makes the drone hover low altitude?

    Some more detail on your scene requirements would be interesting. You need to fly to the target, hover at 5cm for half a second... perhaps there is enough room (vertical and horizontal) at the hover location that you could do a "touch & go?" I have done land-and-then-takeoff with the video...

    video recording

    It probably depends upon the phone (I have an Android), but... I noticed that, if I forgot to stop the video, and disconnected from the aircraft, that video would not be saved. I think I may have also lost the whole video when my phone lost contact with the Tello, due to obstruction or being...

    Xiaomi WIFI Repeater 2 Set Up HELP

    There are two pretty good answers already in the forums. Here is one: Step by Step Setup for Xiaomi WiFi Repeater 2. If that does not work, please use the search feature.

    Tello piggiback by 8266-ESP 01S

    The wifi range is limited by power and antenna size. While the Tello might be happy, your phone will still lose contact with the ESP8266. UNLESS, of course, you fly the hotspot on a second Tello and program it to fly at 0.5 the distance to the second ... interesting on many levels, but...

    Move Tello to [x, y, z] coordinate position

    The project has not directly implemented that function ('go x y z s'), as the move commands provided do that. The movement is relative to current location, as Tello does not 'know' where it is, really. You will have to write a bit of code to implement 'go' function. If you want absolutes...

    Streaming Video from Tello and Tello EDU Drones with Python

    Yes, it makes it near bloody impossible! Huge syntactic differences between v2x and v3x, it could take months to get that stuff running on python3. The installer might be allowing side-by-side python installs (not sure I have ever tried it on windows), so you have to make sure your paths all...

    Streaming Video from Tello and Tello EDU Drones with Python

    Looks like you should only need to run one of the files. The install.bat file is used when you do not have python27 on your computer. It goes out and gets it, and then gets all of the dependencies. install_manual.bat appears to be used when you already have python27 installed. This might be...

    Streaming Video from Tello and Tello EDU Drones with Python

    You are missing a (well-known) python math library (numpy). The github package has a Windows installer that you did not run (or got errors running). Looks like you might be new to python. I suggest a tutorial that introduces you to things like 'pip' and library/dependency management in...

    Destroy your tello app?

    Don't try it. It probably does exactly what it says. As anyone who continues to fly a Tello knows, learning to do UAV flight takes patience and, if you are still flying your FIRST Tello, much care. Certain frustrated personalities, on their third or fourth drone, might be tempted to write an...

    Continuous inputs to Tello.

    Not sure you can jam commands faster than the OK responses, but hack away and report back. There are several python libraries out on Github and literally hundreds of projects in various states of repair. Try hanyazou's library. https://github.com/hanyazou/TelloPy Ryze themselves have a batch...
