ESPTelloCLI -- Experiments with Tello drone and ESP32/ESP8266

devdrone · Apr 9, 2022

ESPTelloCLI is a program for an ESP32 or ESP8266 board which gives access to the Tello SDK via a Command Line Interface (CLI) over USB serial port. This can be used to connect more than one Tello to a single PC. Managing multiple Tellos with one USB serial port per Tello should be easier than one WiFi interface per Tello. This has not been tested with newer Tellos but ESPTelloCLI is a pass through so does not limit which commands can be sent to the Tello. Telemetry from the
Tello state UDP port is also returned along with Tello responses.

A simple Python3 test program has been pushed to the github repo. It requires pyserial.

TelloSwarm from the DJITelloPy project modified to work with ESPTelloCLI. The code is in the github repo.

from swarm import TelloSwarm
import time

swarm = TelloSwarm.fromSerialSSID([
    ["/dev/cu.usbserial-0001", "TELLO-xxxxxx"],
    ["/dev/cu.usbserial-10", "TELLO-yyyyyy"]
])

swarm.connect()
swarm.get_battery()
swarm.takeoff()
swarm.rotate_clockwise(90)
time.sleep(1)
swarm.rotate_counter_clockwise(180)
time.sleep(1)
swarm.rotate_clockwise(90)
time.sleep(1)
swarm.land()

I can report that the ESPTelloCLI program works for me with a generic ESP32 Dev Board. I did have to update my ESP board manager to the 2.0.3 release in the Arduino IDE. Thanks @devdrone
