[dako]

Wish there was a free version, with the basic tracking. Cant buy anything. Anyways, thanks.

Hello bluejune, I've bought your app and looks great. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make my Tello to fly in constant speed and ascent for making some cinematic shots. Is it possible to use the trim buttons for this? If so, is it possible to reset trims somehow (something quicker than placing it to center position by clicking trim buttons) to stop the movement? Thanks for the reply.

I think it is possible with trim buttons even though they are not supposed to do it
trims can be reset instantly if you double click the stick marker.

Refer to below wiki, it will help you find stick marker and how to reset trims.

May decrease sensitivity controller in the setting can help too for that (low sensivity could allow to use max stick position for slow constant speed) ?

Answering to myself:

.DAT files can be revised using free CsvView Windows application

CsvView/DatCon



A lot of data to analyze. MVO: posX and MVO: posY looks very promising as they indicate the position of tello during flight.

I have managed to export them to a .csv file that can be exploited into a simple excel sheet using 'file/export csv' option into CsvView.

This is enough for me to play a little.

I got it !

I have managed to plot Tello's track along a saved flight log.

Only tools needed is csvView and Microsoft Excel (and of course aTelloPilot with flight log active)



I still need to find out what units of measurement are used. They do not look like metrics or imperials. Can somebody help me ?

great, thanks. double tapping the trimmers was the only thing I didn't try ?. I think it could do the trick. All I know that with the onscreen joysticks is the slow or straightforward movement really hard thing to do.

Refer to "Has anyone decoded the log headers/messages from the Tello?" threads.
I already answered that question in this comment

MVO data is not stable enough.. - data are valid only when ambient light condition is good : flags = _payload.getUnsignedByte(76) : flags are valid, it was always 8 when it is not taken-off - position is (0, 0) where the drone is powered on : can not find to reset the position - MVO_X and MVO_Y order seems reversed : When the drone is moved straight forward, the MVO_X data are changed. - the data unit is meter not centi meter(DataCon handles as Cm)

@bluejune

Thanks a lot for your help I

[Storyline]

I bought a GameSir T1D controller because there are too many requests to support it.
After decoding the bluetooth packets, it will be supported as Parrot FlyPad.

Great news I have the app but have had to stop using it because I could not now fly without the T1d

Please will you announce when it is working

Hi @bluejune,

I love your app yet just noticed that Google fotos gives an "can't load video" error when selecting the video-stabilization option. The video itself plays fine though.. Other recordings with tho other (inferior ) apps such as a Tello or ryze app stabilize fine.
Any ideas?

Isn't it because of the tellopilots videos frame rate which is not conventionnel ? (not exactly 30fps). I wrote about that few posts ago.

 

[Splicer]

Yes, perhaps, luckily I haven't seen Tello itself loosing stabilization when switching between foto/video mode so it's not a huge problem

Hi, I purchased your app to use my usb game pad. Everything works but the right stick. Buttons, left stick fine but no pitch control on the right stick. Controller works fine on other apps and game pad tester. Any suggestions?? It is a generic Xbox controller, by the way.

Hi Bluejune,

Hi, you have to go to the setting, check if face detection library is available on your phone, and put on the video processing. Then the face tracking will appear.

hi bluejune,

I have couple of issues.

1. The hand landing do not work. My phone is asus zenphone 3 max.

2. With The official app the drone maintain its position even with windy condition. With this app, the drone maintains its height but keeps moving around even while flown indoor. Think, this can be fixed.

3. Is there fpv mode? Please let me know.

4. Like you mentioned, there is a video lag with bt joystick. Is that why you dont have fpv mode?

5. Is it possible to track the distance between the drone and the phone amd maintain the distance to have a follow me rype of mode in future?
