mkdir tello_ws && cd tello_ws
mkdir src && cd src
git clone https://github.com/kousheekc/ros2_tello_driver.git
cd ..
colcon build
source install/setup.bash

Usage

Run by connecting to drone access point

ros2 launch tello_driver single_launch.py

To change access point, first connect to the drone then modify the ssid and password in change_ap_launch.py in the tello_driver package, then run:

ros2 launch tello_driver change_ap_launch.py

To connect to the drone through your own access point, make sure your PC is connected to the access point, then run:
