New app: TelloFPV for Android
- Thread starter volate!lo
- Start date
... I use J7 2016 too and the problem is that phone doesn't have compass ...
... I "stole" my daughter's phone, a 4-year-old Galaxy A5 ...
TelloFpv does currently not use any phone sensors. RTH works without any phone sensors
I consider it interesting to improve the automatic mode of flight of Tello: to get away and to get up choosing the pilot the meters and that returns or not to the place of beginning.

No, the flightmodes under "..." are the flightmodes taht reside in the Firmware. TelloFpv just triggers them.
There will be other 360s in a future release, for pano video and photo
Using Galaxy J7 (2016) running Oreo on beta channel (TelloFPV 0.98) I did a test flight with Tello. The low battery limit was set to 20%. Drone was responsive. The battery reached 20% and the numbers turn into red, a beep sound was heard, the Battery low warning was displayed – everything as expected. I entered main settings, lowered the Low Battery percentage to 15 percent. The battery percentage numbers turn back into white (it was now at 17%), but suddenly the drone becomes unresponsive to commands. I mean I was pressing the screen but the app behaves as if I was not touching it. The video was continuing to run but the controls were blocked. I switched off the app, switch back to it but meanwhile the drone auto landed. I checked the controls and they were working again.
All this I have recorder using DU Recorder so I have evidences.
Is this an expected behavior on low battery?

No of course not. Can you send me the interesting part of the recording via some sharing? WeTransfer or something like this?
T1D is not paired. I should explain that I was mid flight about 10m high and 75m away and the video went to crap, almost frozen. I engaged RTH but it was quickly canceled "VPS loss message". So I got close enough to check orientation and flew back closer but there was severe lag. When this scenario happens I usually turn off the T1D. This time I turned off BT instead. The T1D disconnected then reconnected as you describe. I then landed. Cycled BT and Airplane leaving BT OFF and it still reconnected.

@volate!lo,
Successfully tested Beta TelloFPV v0.98x "Raul's problems"
This version is BRILLIANT, great job @volate!lo by far is the best TelloFPV release.
Weird message "not receiving position data" is gone
Exposure change using controller gives extrange readings issue is gone
Smart photo timer works GREAT Finally I coud take some photos from far locations despite bad signal.
Surprisingly one shoot took more than a minute (70 seconds) to download, but at the end I got it !
Another shoot was canceled after 25 seconds becouse download counter stopped. Smart Timer works perfect ! Good job @volate!lo
Only issue detected is Flight counter sometimes (not always) stops while a photo is being downloaded.
Thats not important for me, but I'm worried if any other important processes could be failing during the download. Maybe it need to be revised ?
I'm very happy with TelloFPV. Solving the download of photos is a great step forward for me.
All the best.

Good thing is I don't have to make sure my BT is on during my start-up routine. Bad thing is??? IDK

Sounds good! The counter stopping is not an issue. Its not a counter, its displaying the "motor spin time" it receives from Tello.
If this stops its just an indicator that you have a weak wifi link, and data packets get lost. As soon as the correct data packet is received it will display the correct value, making good those "missed" seconds.
Thats why you can for example start a flight with Tello app, terminate it inflight if you are brave and start TelloFpv to resume the flight with the flight timer showing correct values.
Have fun!
