Just wanted to say hello before I get into medias res!
I bought a Tello a few weeks ago after having owned a dozen or so drones over the years: Syma x5, Syma x11, Hubsan H107d FPV, Parrot Bebop 1, Parrot Bebop 2, Parrot Swing, Zerotech Dobby, plus a couple of no-name drones I forgot.
So I bought a Tello and my first reaction was: wow!
Tello has decent battery time for such a tiny drone, good camera and is stable even outside with a little wind. With the range extenders I used for my Bebop I can fly way beyond line of sight. Some 300-400m are easily achieved.
FPV beyond line of sight is illegal here with drones above 250gr and that was one of the reasons I haven't used my Bebop much recently. Actually I used my Tello much more as its a perfect fit for this...
However I didn't like the Android apps availabe for controlling Tello so I started coding - I am a Java developer by trade so why not! I am currently ironing out the last few bugs I found in my app. I am a few days away from going public so stay tuned. Sometime this weekend I think
A question to the moderators:
Is it OK if I introduce the app here on Tellopilots? My app will become a commercial offer once ready for public use and I thought I'd ask if promoting commercial apps is OK with you. If you agree I could also upload a time limited version for beta testing by interested forum members. The APK is about 1.5MB in size so pretty small.
