This is very impressive guys! Tello can fly by itself with very simple coding with Scratch! I show here a very simple example but I am going to post soon a more elaborate example of what can be done with Tello and Scratch! Thank you everyone for watching!
Nice video! and still very much relevant. Two years ago last May I gave a Tello to my sister, who's in her 50's, as b-day gift. She loves the thing and even flies FPV with the controller and box googles I included. The video camera is nothing to sneeze at. At 720p she's produced great footage of her grandkids... Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, it's my opinion that this drone can not be beaten. And I own the Mavic Pro, Spark and 25-30 race quads. If the flight time and range were extended and the motors upgraded to brushless, it'd be on a Top 5 list for sure.
Thank you. I fully agree with your comment. I also added a controller to my Tello and it is much easier to fly! Another nice drone in that category is the Parrot Mambo. It does not have a camera but it comes with a rocket launcher and a grabber! They are well designed and fun to operate. With Parrot getting out of the small drone business, I got mine last month for less than half the price, $50 instead of $120 CAD. I was going to do a video about it but it is already two years old I think. Thanks for watching!
That was cool to see. That's what makes this drone special. Looking forward to you pushing the limits of the coding! How far of distance can you make it go? Does it store all commands internally or need to be within wifi range for next command? Stuff like that. Another goldmine of content for you SuperdanTech!
This is the best Tello programming guide! Thanks! I subscribed! I will be programming my newly bought Tello - I will definitely mention your video! Thanks again. I felt a bit lost when I first got it!!
So good video, but what I would be interested in is setting a task for the tello to do every time it is turned on. So for example. I would turn it on, it would go through whatever routine it needed to and then launch and attain a height of say 1.5 meters. Then it would take say 10 photos and then land and power off. I would want that to stay in memory and every time I turned the drone on, I would want it to do the same thing. I would want to use the drone as JUST a selfie drone. Does this seem possible? Can I set this up to be the only thing the tello will do completely automatically every time I turn it on? Thanks so much?
Thank you! Yes you can do what you describe. You can save missions too but the last one you use will be open in the App when you start it. All you would have to do is tap on "launch mission" to start Tello. However, in the Android version of the App you cannot take pictures. This function is only available at the moment on iOS. The Tello is a very nice drone. I would say the best around $100. Cheers.
If you want a real selfie drone get the Yuneec Breeze 4K. Look at my review videos and this drone is currently on sale in several markets for around $200. Cheers!
Hello. Thank you very much for your interesting tutorial. I am trying to do the same with my Tello using droneblock on ios but it doesn't run probably. It just take off and do nothing then I had to abort the mission. I don't know how to debug this case. Do you have any idea how to fix this issue. I already updated the latest firmware. Thank you.
Hi there and thank you for visiting my channel. I only used this App on Android so I don't have any experience with the iOS version. If you have updated the firmware and it still does not work, I would contact the developer and ask for help. Good luck!
@@SuperdanTech thanks for your quick response. Let me try to find an android phone and test it again. In case it doesn't work, may I ask what do you mean contact developer? you mean your developer or the support from DJI?
You can use your phone like most people do or buy a Gamesir controller. I did a recent video comparing the Tello with the Mambo and I show the Gamesir controller. Thanks for watching.
My TELLO does one thing no matter what’s in the Drone Blocks program. It takes off, flys up about 45 inches and just hovers Eventually it begins to drift and I’m sure it would do just that until the battery is depleted. What’s wrong???
There is obviously something very wrong. Uninstall the App and re-install. This should fix the problem unless you have a defective Tello. Your next step if this does not work and assuming that your Tello is fine, is to contact the App developer. I know several people have done this. Perhaps your problem is well documented with the developer. Good luck!
SuperdanTech Thanks for the info. Here’s what happened.....I uninstalled and re-installed the Drone Blocks app and it prompted me to do a firmware update. I did so but it seemed to be taking forever. I had done one before with no issues, but this time the TELLO got extremely hot to the touch and actually started to melt on the bottom. I guess there’s a problem with the TELLO itself. Of course the update attempt was through the TELLO app not Drone Blocks. Now I guess I’m going back to the seller(AMAZON) to see what they’ll do for me. Good thing I didn’t leave the house while it was trying to update.
Hello John, I don't think you can. I have not checked the App recently though so I could be wrong. I am more busy with my Bebop 2 Power these days! Thanks for watching!
Very good vide... I have an issue the landing task is not performed so the Drone keeps in the air doing nothing.. after 3 mins or so it lands, definittly somethings is wrong, also the abort button does no t works any idea. thank yo vry much
Thank you! The App is buggy sometimes and I also had the same problem more than once. You just need to shut down everything and re-start. If I remember correctly, the App was updated not long ago so problems like these should disappear eventually. Thank you for visiting my channel.
Thanks for the video! I connect my tablet to the Tello Drone (via Wifi) and it still does not appear to be connected. Any reasons why? Do I need another app to connect the Tello Drone to the tablet?
I can tell you that for some devices the Tello does not connect well or all the time. Try your phone and see. With my phone, sometimes I need to turn off Tello three times before I get a connection. I hope it works for you!
Hi. I have downloaded Droneblocks on 2 different iPads and although I get the coloured blocks on the left I am unable to connect to the Tello? When clicking in the top right corner of the app there is no option to connect? The connect drone option is missing?
This is really the only negative point about the App, sometimes it is hard to connect. I use the Android version and I had the same problem a few times. I believe there was a recent update, check it out to make sure you are up to date. Try to uninstall and re-install the App. Also try to turn on the Tello before and after the App is running. And then also try a smartphone instead of your tablet (I have issues with tablets with several APPs). It should work. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Nice features on Droneblocks, hoever without the possibility to control the camera it’s useless to me hence I would like to program some automatic routines for filming and taking pictures. BTW: I’m using an iPhone but there are no camera functions also! Probably the SDK and API’s won’t allow this (yet?)...
I feel the same way also but I am optimistic that the developer will add this feature. Ryze is backed (or part of..) dji so they have the financial means to improve on the Tello/future App. Thank you for visiting my channel.
Hi Fernando, I know some people are having issues with the App. It may be device dependent. My advice is to try a different device if you can. Thank you for visiting my channel.
Nice App for sure but at the moment you cannot control the camera with the android version. Apparently the ios version allows you to do that but I do not have an iphone to test it. Thanks for watching!
It does not seem to be possible. I tried to use the MATH block to do some sine or cosine and I eventually gave up. Perhaps I should have another look. Thank you for visiting my channel.
Hi there, this video is very old...I don't even know if the Tello is still available. Did you check on Amazon? I now fly my DJI mini 2 instead. More expensive of course but much better. Thank you for visiting my channel.
Hi there, I don't use the Tello anymore now that I have a dji Mini 2. If I remember correctly, the App does not allow you to move diagonally. I have not checked in months if there is an updated App though. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! That is a very good question and I have not checked. It's worth googling. Good deals today on Black Friday! Thank you for visiting my channel by the way.
Thank you. No I don't think it works with a homemade drone unless you are a hacker of course. Thank you for visiting my channel. BTW, the Tello is often on sale.
please do a level 2 video ! I am using your video for my middle school classroom :) I am trying to have3-4 basic lessons and then do a super challenge and stop on various tables / objects and go through hoops in the gym
The flying is all fine, but sadly there's no point in having the camera in there for me without being able to program it as well as shoot video or snap pics. I'm a newb, so I just bought the wrong thing. It's been a one day use learning model I guess. :) It just blows my mind that there's nothing I have found that can program a flight path with this thing, and stream video. *sigh*
I know and a few people have commented about that. I also wish we could program the camera. The Tello is a popular drone and it is backed by dji so I am hoping that more Apps will surface soon. Thank you for visiting my channel.
Hi .. tq for your tutorial.. I am facing problems to take off my tello edu..I already installed tello edu apps and droneblock apps...but I failed to lunch mission..after uninstall tello edu apps, and just left droneblock in my hp, my drone able to take off..

Actually I want to know why I can't take off when tello edu apps and droneblock apps was installed in my hp.. I just only used only one apps everytime I want to test my programming..
Hello, I have not used my Tello in three years (I have been using my dji Mini and more recently my Mini 2). Hopefully somebody will see your question and will be able to help!

Hi, thanks for sharing such video and make us aware of the usage of such apps. Kudos. But, I have one question for you, through this drone block app we can actually automate the movement of the drone, but can we capture video/ photo as well while running the same program? Thanks!
You are welcome. Unfortunately you cannot control the camera with the Android version of the App but you CAN with the iOS version. I have no idea why! I am posting next week a video with another Tello coding App. Don't miss that. Cheers.

@@SuperdanTech thank you very much
amazing for the price point, but it waits too much between executions is it changeable
I agree, there is a slight time lag between lines of codes. Still not bad considering its price. Thank you for visiting my channel.
What flight controller is this using and can it be written to any flight controller a drone uses?
You can use your phone like most people do or buy a Gamesir controller. I did a recent video comparing the Tello with the Mambo and I show the Gamesir controller. Thanks for watching.
Will the Tello run programs from the dji blocks, interface of the droneblocks app?
I want to be able to record the flight too, but i cant find any tools that allow you to create a mission and record video as well. Any recomendations?
Apparently the iphone version allows you to control the camera. I have android so I could not test it. Thanks for watching!
