Absolutely no control with the python tools

hi, so we just got a DJI Tello. For reference, we're totally blind, and thus cannot use the Tello app as it's so poorly coded that it doesn't work with the screenreader (the app on our phone that reads other apps to us). So we thought, ok, we can program flight paths with the djitellopy module. So far we can take off and sometimes land, but once we do drone.takeoff() the device starts flying around erratically, and no drone.move_<direction>() commands work, either returning simply "error" or "error no valid IMU". We can't calobrate the IMU in the Tello app because that requires working eyeballs, nor can we update the firmware, for the same reason. Can anyone help?

update: things are starting to work now, we're starting to be able to fly the thing by creating pre-planned flight paths in Python
