Maybe it would be possible to use the same method than google Maps for position precision (GPS coupled with WIFI and phone relay) ? Maybe using directly google maps api ?

Hi
I'm using your app and it works super nicely
From what I understand you use the face and its diagonal for the follow function. Did you ever consider using Image features such as SIFT or FAST instead?
Besides: Do you have access to the drone's IMU measurements? if you do, did you think about doing SLAM? This could somewhat replace GPS (only locally though)

I have got an usb game controller, which is supoorted by aTello app, but not supported by this anothrTelloPilot....
As I see, it is looking for bluetooth controllers only, isnt it?

How can I set home point for RTH? If app set it automatically it's not working for me (drone always going wrong way)

You have to set the drone with back end to you. (Batterie Shows zu you)
From this point you started, is your home point Target.

No..
USB controllers are supported.
Did you check it was identified on your device?
And it should have 4 axis at least.
Ok, it was my mistake, The controller was not configured in the right mode. It is working now, as worked before with aTello too.
I Think a direct usb controller has better response time than bluetooth ones.
But i still have difficulties with the Return to Home function...
Hey BlueJune! Bought the app and love it but can't quite seem to get 100% functionality. I have a GameSir T1 that works with the official Tello App. In the Tello app it detects it as a T1S but also shows Gamesir-T1GCM which I have to connect to get working with Bluetooth. It works great in the official Tello app. I have not been able to get a Bluetooth connected controller working in aTelloPilot. If I use a USB-C OTG -> Micro USB to connect it wired, it does work with aTelloPilot. Any suggestions on what I can do to get Bluetooth working?

Gamesir T1D is not a generic game controller so it is not detected as a game controller on Android devices. DJI mentioned it is only working with Tello app.
Hi,
Is the controller identified as a joystick on Android bluetooth settings?
If so, connect it in the Android bluetooth settings and then go to aTelloPilot.
All bluetooth game controller should be connected before using it in aTelloPilot.
You can check your controller is working or not as a game controller with Gamepad tester
Thanks.

I think you didn't align you and Tello when you turned it on.
Tello and yourself should be aligned when Tello is turned on
- Tello doesn't have GPS so it can't provide absolute coordinate
- And it doesn't have compass either so it can't provide absolute its heading
- So alignment is required when it is turned on and flight app is started

Actually I am not a image processing specialist
so I need to study them from now.About the position measurement, Tello provides relative position information from where it is turned on.
The problem is GPS accuracy on the phone side for "follow me" mode.
I'll review SLAM more..
Thanks..
Thank you for the reply BlueJune. It does not show up as a joystick in Android Bluetooth Settings but does work perfectly in the Gamepad Tester. Thankfully I am able to use the controller with aTelloPilot by plugging it in.
If there is anything I can do to help get this gamepad working with aTelloPilot while on Bluetooth please let me know!
Hello Bluejune:
Do you want to configure your program to stay compatible with Gamesir t1D?
If the answer is no, which Gamepad is best for you to use with your program?
Thank you
Romano

So I get the point of the GPS inaccuracy. But for the "follow a face" that you implemented you use the images itself or is the face detection provided by tello itself?
Also for SLAM you will need some image processing aswell.
The image features I think are provided by librarys such as openCV I believe.
Hello my friend, I finally got my Tello in my hands to fly.just released now
I think you can update it in an hour..
I've used your app for testing a few times, but I'm still learning Vaor.
Another idea that I found interesting and I believe that it is of "easy" implementation for you, would be to use the accelerometer of the smartphone for the Tello follow the pilot.
For example: I position Tello at a height and distance and I activate a button that makes Tello follow me using the information of the accelerometer of the smartphone, considering up, down, forward, back, left and right.
I believe that I could even use the GPS information to know how much the Tello should advance the retreat in relation to the pilot.
Sorry for the various requests but the ideas are coming up in my head but I do not have the ability to develop something.
Hello @bluejune,
Sorry asking you that question again, but i see in the lasts posts that lot of people have interest for that too
Did you try the combined wifi/gps/cell networks/accelerometer/gyroscope code for have better location ?
Here is a link for android java code which seems to do that :

Big thank you for your developpments !!!

Can you share the screenshot of the Gamepad Tester connected via bluetooth?
Press buttons and move analog sticks.. you can see buttons and axis are shown on the screen.
With the screenshot, I can find why it is not working with aTelloPilot.
Thanks in advance.

Theoretically all USB / BT game controllers should be working if they are identified as game controllers on Android devices.
But.. there are always exceptions..
Actually I use ipega pg-9083 blueooth stick and it can be used with otg cable.
pg-9083
But it is hard to use otg cable equipped with the device because usb port is hidden by the wall.
