Tello Video Web Streaming

Use a device with a SIM card? Then you have internet access over a cellular connection (3G/4G) at the same time as having a wifi connection. Read data from one and send to the other.Maybe it could help you :

Sorry, i don't have answer, i just put a thread url where the subject seems similar...

That solution uses a RPi which can have a wifi and a wired ethernet connection at the same time. It connects to Tello over wifi and the internet via wired ethernet.Maybe it could help you :

This is nothing for the average Joe but for some IT geeks.
If it was that easy...
Seriously: As soon as you connect to Tello your cellular internet is dead. Some devices can possibly do both, but these typically don't work unless you set them into airplane mode (i.e. deactivate cellular).
To test: connect your phone to Tello's wifi, open Tello / TelloFpv app to check connection, then open your web browser and search for something that is not in your local cache.

Yesterday four succesfull flights into TelloFPV 1.11 (I'm still not updated to 1.12)
PERFECT flights. POI autopilots are amazing. I noticed a great improvement into video quality. Not only into recorded video but also in live FPV video. Video stream recovers much quickly from interference. I feel much safer flying away or making turns.
Fom latest versions TelloFPV undoubtedly becomes the best app for flying Tello.
Congratulations @volate!lo !

Happy to read that!
No reason to update to 1.12. From a functionality point of view it is just speed limits for the autopilots, so nothing to worry about.
Have fun!
Well, actually it is that easy.... At least when you use an iPhone!
As you know, the Tello acts as a router with an ip address of 192.168.10.1 and also acts as a DHCP server assigning ip addresses to new device connections.
So when the first device connects to the Tello it is assigned an ip address of 192.168.10.2. When this happens your cellular internet connection is disconnected.
However....on your device, if you change the Tello wifi connection settings from DHCP to Static you can pre-assign the ip address to any unused address up to 192.168.10.254.
When you then connect to the Tello in the future the same static ip address is assigned.. this is true of both iOS and Android devices.
On an iPhone you also benefit by retaining the existing 3G/4G cellular internet connection. I do not have an Android phone, so cannot comment if it works the same.
I had assumed that because you can do this manually it should also be possible to programmatically utilise two network connections.
Having said all that, I'm not sure what use you could make of that functionality!
@volate!lo Keep up the excellent work!
Hi
Looking for help
I usually used an iPhone but my wife just bought a new phone so I got her Samsung S7
I installed Mi Home, the Tello app, etc and after a bit of playing- not really used to Android- got the Tello, wifi repeater and gamesir controller all connected
DOwnoaded the demo version of TelloFpv and it looks terrrifice. But . After all that - two take offs and immediately two crashes!
The Tello didn’t hold position it was almost as if the vision positioning had been turned off...and drifted into a wall and crashed.
The app looks great but obviously I am doing something wrong. Any help wouldn’t be muchly appreciated
Obviously don’t want to buy the app i f I can’t make it work
PS went back to my iPhone to test if something serious had gone wrong but everything worked as it should - controllerwifi extender and drone
Thanks in advance for any help. I was looking forward to being able to use this app for all its added functionality but ...

There must be a reason for this. With several thousand installs now I am sure there is no bug in the controller code that can explain this.
I assume you used the same spot for testing with the same light conditions?
Any pattern in what Tello did (e.g. slowly drift left or fwd, rotate)?
Have you tried with or without controller? Usually the controller is the culprit so try without.
The little red dots in the onscreen joysticks indicate the commands sent to Tello. Just connect the controller and see what it does. If these aren't centered there must be a reason for it. You don't need to takeoff to see this. If the T1d is connected and gives some (erratic) input the dots should move a bit, try to move the sticks around, some have erratic input while moved.
Anyway, do not buy the app if the demo doesnt work. They share the exact same codebase and differ only in a few compile flags. If demo expires while testing you can delete & install again for another 10 flights.

Hi, i had similar issue with a flysky controler (the controler response was strange in the settings) . It was because the battery was close to empty. Is your t1d battery is charged ?
Btw, i have samsung s7 too and tellofpv is working like a charm on it.
Hope it helps...

Thanks for the suggestions- pretty sure the controller was fully charged, but both your responses suggest it may be the controller that is the culprit.
There was no discernible pattern in the crashes. The first flight I took off from the table top and it drifted north.
I tried the next time on the ground and it drifted east.
Quite quickly too I had no opportunity to emergency land but of course it was in a small room.
I’ll try again outdoors when there is no wind and without a controller and see what happens.
Very annoying, everyone else seems to have it working fine!

I have deactivated DHCP on the repeater and used static IP instead.
Now TelloFPV keeps asking me if my phone is in airplane mode. It is.
I'm using 192.168.10.3 for my phone. The Tello hat 192.168.10.1 (found by repeater). The repeater itself gets 192.168.10.2 from the Tello.
All connections are 2.4 Ghz.
What confuses me is the fact that the original app doesn't show any of these issues.
I ll have to check. I decided I’d do my next testing outdoors with no walls close by and wouldn’t you know it torrential rain an winds all weekend
Sorry if this should be obvious, but was the feature of storing on an external SD card added,?
If TelloFpv asks if phone is in Airplane mode that means it is now in a Wifi with the right IP settings, but can't ping Tello. Why that happens I don't know, maybe your router does not forward Ping requests.
The reason is that TelloFpv makes a few checks that the other app does not do. It just stays blank if there is a problem with no indication why.
One thing I could change though is to just try to connect even if the checks failed.
But your setup is very exotic. I have almost 5k installs of the full version and over time maybe 25k installs of the free demo, and never had this problem reported.
The next version of TelloFpv will check if all connected controllers are reporting neutral sticks before starting the motors. That might not solve the issue, but rather point you to a solution.
No, not yet.
The manual is under menu => help, also in the facebook group, and I just uploaded it to the first post of this thread.

This channel I follow (which has a good audience) just published a video about TelloFPV!
