- easily retrieve a video stream
- receive and parse state packets
- control a swarm of drones
- support for python >= 3.6
Feel free to contribute!

For Linux distributions with both python2 and python3 (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, ...) you need to run
pip3 install djitellopy
Using the commands below you can install the repository in an editable way. This allows you to modify the library and use the modified version as if you had installed it regularly.

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)
