Hi friend Volate!lo, Is it possible to use the master control and the student control both with a cell phone, having the app on both cell phones using google family, or is the student just using a joypad?
Currently only one phone with up to 2 controllers is supported. No master / slave between phones (yet)
Yes. I wasn't suggesting that DroneBlocks does what we want, only that it permits you to repeat a flight path that you have to input with distances, turns, etc.
@volate!lo said that he did not think that this feature would be terribly useful in TelloFPV as it is so dependent (among other things) on the exact starting location and orientation (not to mention wind and other course changes that the
Tello cannot sense). Personally I think it would be kind of cool for indoor flying and I have played with Droneblocks but it is tedious to program a flight path as you cannot simply fly it and have it remember.
I could be a political correct nice guy and say: Hey, great idea. Let me think about this.
I prefer a clear communication: pre-recorded flights will never be implemented. See the roadmap in post #1 of this thread.
TelloFpv is about real world use cases in FPV, video, photo. Not about programming, or pre-recorded tricks, or something like this.
This type of functionality just doesn't fit into what I want TelloFpv to be. Yeah, that might sound arrogant, but this is a commercial project and I have to keep TelloFpv focused and in good shape to provide the best use for the majority of customers. Once it becomes a bunch of fun experiments with a cluttered interface its dead.
Also it just would not really work as
Tello has no sense of absolute position or direction. It's all relative! You'd have to ensure
Tello is exactly (!!) at the same position & direction each time you execute a flight plan. You can't assure this so
Tello will constantly crash, at least for the vast majority of users.

@volate!lo Do you have any plans to add any sort of Waypoint mission functionality to TelloFPV, by plotting points on a map? Obviously, the
Tello doesn’t have GPS so you would have to start a mission by manually positioning a Home Point on the map as close as possible to your take-off point, but then it should be possible to fly a route by measuring the distance between the plotted map points and sending the relevant commands to fly a specific distance and then turn to face the next point. You could also add a parameter to limit the distance from the Home Point.
Flight plans without real-world reference points are completely useless. Try aTelloPilot. You press some point on the screen and
Tello flies by itself to this point. The only problem is: You have no clue where this point is in the real world. Your best guess is "somewhere in front of me... or maybe left or so"
Real map-based waypoints & flightplan would be very useful but require a GPS or GPS-like functionality, at the minimum a compass giving true direction. I'll let you know as soon as I find a hidden GPS or compass. Until then: Doesn't work.
