Tello SDK for arduino on esp32/esp8266

[hungryspider]

Hi Pilots, I have created an easy to use SDK for Arduino to control Tello, try it out if you have one of the ESP modules lying around .

Here is the link : akshayvernekar/telloArduino

I don't have much experience with Arduino but I would like to more about what you are doing. Did you have specific need for being able to control the tello from the arduino?

I did a small project where in I hooked up an accelerometer to ESP and then mounted the accelerometer on the back of my hand. I was able to control the tello using the movement of my hand like a wizard! in the process I created this SDK for arduino and I thought someone might find it useful.

Hi, great work!
What is the command for "start motors" without taking off? I couldn't find it neither in the manual nor your SDK.

sadly there are no commands just to turn on the motors, there is only command to take off.

Can it work the other way around? Having the esp32 controlling a servo?

Thanks for sharing.

The latest Tello EDU firmware supports it, see for example the SDK 3.0 doc. So it should be easy to add that to your library.

rc -100 -100 -100 100
does the job.
