See djitellopy.readthedocs.io for a full reference of all classes and methods available.
from djitellopy import Tello
tello = Tello()
tello.connect()
tello.takeoff()
tello.move_left(100)
tello.rotate_counter_clockwise(90)
tello.move_forward(100)
tello.land()In the examples directory there are some code examples. Comments in the examples are mostly in both english and chinese.
- taking a picture
- recording a video
- flying a swarm (multiple Tellos at once)
- simple controlling using your keyboard
- mission pad detection
- fully featured manual control using pygame
- If you are using the
streamoncommand and the response isUnknown commandmeans you have to update the Tello firmware. That can be done through the Tello app. - Mission pad detection and navigation is only supported by the Tello EDU.
- Bright environment is necessary for successful use of mission pads.
- Connecting to an existing wifi network is only supported by the Tello EDU.
- When connected to an existing wifi network video streaming is not available (TODO: needs confirmation with the new SDK3
portcommands)
