Tello Simulation

[JasonRu]

Hi there,

For my university project, I am trying to get a drone to follow a moving platform via ArUco markers. As part of the process, I am hoping to make use of simulations were I can run my python code to test if it works instead of powering up the drone each time as often I am doing this in the library and I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate a drone flying around!!

I've looked a little into using gazebo but to be honest, I am a little confused at how that would work.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.

Hey there, I haven't used gazebo yet, sounds kinda the right tool. On my experience, I made something similar, I needed a way to do some simulations without requiring the physical drone, so I made a Python sketch with matplotlib that updates graphs with simulated sensor data.
I know it is probably a better way to do it, but because I just needed something to get going and only required some sensors, it worked well for me
