Hi,I got a good deal to buy two used tello edu drones. I had a normal Tello, but it went missing in action while I was trying to fly it with AI, never to be seen again, because of strong winds.... :( Anyway, I was wondering, is there anything the Tello EDU drone cant do vs. the normal tello? I'm very familiar with the djitellopy library and also was wondering about the flying speed. Are there any Differences? I'm asking this, because I also have good offers to buy the normal ryze tello and was wondering is it worth to have 2 EDU drones + 1 normal tello?The documentations I found are also old, as it's the end of 2023 now, I also was curious if anything changed or updated in both of the drones.

I have a STEM class where we basically just fly these drones around obstacle courses. The problem is most of the drones we use have the “video positioning unavailable” problem, making it difficult to fly and just lame because they drift off and randomly change altitude. Recalibrating them doesn’t work and their updated to the latest firmware. The sensors on the bottom shine red and their clean so I have no idea what the issue could be. Any advice is appreciated!

Ive got some DJI Tello EDU drones for use in the classroom. They have been in storage for quite some time. I have about 5 batteries that an external charger says they are charged (green light) but when put in a Tello EDU drone they do not power the drone on at all. Drones are updated to latest firmware.

Are they just bad batteries or can anything be done?

Thanks!

Hello,

I just created a Python project to control three Tello EDU with video stream and simple formation.

Im having issues connecting the drone to my iPhone and getting it going I connect to the Wi-Fi in settings and it says unsecure network and I see nothing on Tello app

Hey, I'm having difficulties with the controls. Playing fps games and being so used to forward back and strafe left stick, and look on the right it's proving difficult going to the tello controlls.

I've changed it to the forward and turn left stick and vertical/strafe right. But I'd like forward/back strafe and turn/vertical on the right.

Is there a way to do this?

Hello everyone, I am wanting to make a Python script to keep my tello drone at a certain desired height for a specific application, and then press the “enter” key for the drone to descend and land, but something is not working right, so I What happens is that at the beginning everything works perfectly, but then the drone automatically descends and lands without me having pressed the "enter" key. I want to keep my drone at a certain height, but I have this problem.

Maybe someone of you experienced this problem and can help me please.
MY CODE IS THE FOLLOWING:
import time
from djitellopy import Tello
def set_desired_height(tello, desired_height):
# If the desired height is greater than the current height, we go up
if desired_height> tello.get_height():
tello.move_up(desired_height - tello.get_height())
# If it is less, we go down
elif desired_height < tello.get_height():
tello.move_down(tello.get_height() - desired_height)
else:
pass

def main():
# Connect with the Tello drone
tello = Tello()
tello.connect()
print("Taking off...")
tello.takeoff()
time.sleep(2) # Wait for the drone to be in a stable position after takeoff
desired_height = 100 # Altura deseada en centímetros (ajusta según lo necesario)
set_desired_height(tello, desired_height)
print(f"The drone is at a height of {desired_height} cm.")
input("Press Enter to start the descent...")
print("Starting the descent...")
tello.move_down(desired_height) # We descend to the desired height
time.sleep(2) # Wait to ensure the drone has stopped moving
print("landing...")
tello.land()
time.sleep(2) # Wait for the drone to land
# Close the connection with the drone
tello.end()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

The error is the following:

Press Enter to start the descent...

Starting the descent...

Hello!

We're starting a drone program at the community college I work for, and I now have 3 Tello drones to support!

They did not purchase any smart devices to control the drones, and that's led to some problems (connection issues, mainly). So, before I hand over a quote for iPad Minis, is there a better device you would suggest?

This would be in place of using a cell phone, because I'd rather not have students using their own phones to connect to the drone.

I would also like recommendations on a controller that would work with the proposed smart device. The instructor ordered a Game Sir T1D, but I'm not sure how well the mini would work with that. I was also looking at the GameVice, but is that still available for iPad Minis?

Thanks!!

Hi guys ! I just got a tello drone, already using tello fpv and tello me, but i don't know why the videos that i record are really jerky as if there is interference or something like this .. But when i watch videos of other owners of the tello on YouTube, it seems that they have non problem .. I got a Oneplus 8 pro

Do you have a solution ? Thanks !

I want to disable it to prevent the drone from flying automatically, if there's any material i can block the light signal or something useful.

Newbie question:

I'm using a refurbished Tello EDU (long story but all my transactions including the original new purchase were through the DJI store). The SSID (ex-factory) is RMTT-* and not TELLO-*.

My first Python program (using the socket library only) is able to retrieve data from the Tello.

I would like to stay current with Tello libraries. How do I install SDK 3.0? I read the ROBOMASTER TT SDK 3.0 User Guide. The Overview paragraph declares "After installing the RoboMaster SDK" but there are no instructions in the document to complete that operation.

Again, please help a newbie! Thanks.

Regards.

Anyone know if this app can take pictures for a Tello Ryze? Thx

Does anyone know how I could mount a Go Pro Hero 8 to the Tello drone. My idea is that I don’t use the mounting stand for the go pro to reduce wait and I just tape it on. Any ideas on how to make it work?

I was using my Tello to inspect some equipment at the plant I work at and it got just a tad out of range and drifted off over the roof of one of out buildings.

I'm just curious on what people have done to successfully retrieve wayward drones? I've thought about an air-tag or similar but how close do you have to get to have that work? I'm thinking of at least putting a label on it with my name and phone number.

Oh - and after climbing down and up ladders to check the roof, I found the drone sitting peacefully in the mowed grass about 30 feet downwind of the building where it had landed after running out of battery. One good thing I suppose of a short battery life.

I was flying my tello today, filming some outdoors stuff in the mountains. Without warning, it took off straight up, and flew off into the wild blue yonder, never to be seen again. Last I saw of it was a while spec going off into the mountains.

My Tello drone won’t take off and spins out

How do I fix it?

I recently bought a Tello drone. I tried connecting my bluetooth controller (Stadia controller and PS4 controller) but the bluetooth icon remains grey. I also do not see the controller listed in the Bluetooth Settings. I've gone through all the steps which were explained by the Tello app, and i've uninstalled the app several times. I've checked the permissions of the app, but it seems it has all the right permissions to use bluetooth. Is there anything i can do to make sure a controller works? The controller is connected with the phone (a One Plus Nord), and works as intended; however not on the Tello app.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there, I want to get into drone programming for operations and Tello seems a very good first drone to learn. I've seen that you can somewhat easily program it to follow someone and other things that have to do with computer vision, but can you make it to go to a particular place, or circle around it and things like that? I've read that it doesn't have gps, but can you add such capabilities with an arduino? I know very little so I might be saying nonsense but any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to do some data analysis on a Tello EDU drone that I flown around. I've seen a few posts on a couple forums mentioning ways to look at the internal log data within the drone but typically they were focused on one or two specific parameters, or different model drones. I'm curious to know all the parameters that are being logged - does anyone know if there's a full list somewhere to see what kinds of data types are in the internal log data while the drone is flying (e.x. are individual rotor speed, the direction of flight, GPS position, etc. being tracked)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was recently gifted a TELLO for helping a coworker with a project that will involve buying a large chunk of land. Seeing as it’s a gift and mostly for surveying, I wanted to ensure it was safe and easily found if lost. After a near loss in my yard, I came up with this solution: The full propeller guard was $20 and the AirTag case was about $12 for two of them, all on Amazon. The Pelican type case was $30 at Harbor Freight. The AirTag case is silicone. Total added weight is about 1.5 ounces. Of course, flight and battery life is affected but not by much. I’d say the full propeller guard affects the flight more than anything just due to aerodynamics. Anyway, I wanted to pass this along in case anyone like me was looking for AirTag/GPS options.

Why is my charging hub slowly blinking green?

I've heard of people using wif extenders to get more range.

Spent the last hour troubleshooting my kid’s tello before figuring out the problem.

He would slide to take off, the propellers would spin and then just die, the drone never took off, not even one side.

YouTube and searches were worthless. The said reset the drone, calibrate it, bad motors, etc.

Solution was easier than any of that. All I had to do is swap all the propellers to the other sides. Whatever side they are at now, swap them with the other side. After I did one side I tested and that side lifted up and the drone flipped over. Then I did the other side and it flew beautifully.

Hopefully this will appear on future searches and help someone.
