A package for controlling a drone either via simulation or with a real Tello drone.

Drone Control - Simulation and Real Drone

This project allows you to control a drone either in a simulation environment using the DroneBlocksTelloSimulator or control a real Tello drone using the easyTello library. You can switch between simulation and real drone modes based on your requirements.

Project Structure

• simulated_tello.py: Contains the class for controlling the simulated drone using DroneBlocksTelloSimulator.
• real_tello.py: Contains the class for controlling the real Tello drone using the easyTello library.
• main.py: The main entry point for the project. This file prompts the user to choose between simulation or real drone control and allows the user to run different lessons to practice drone control commands.
• README.md: This documentation file.

How to Use

1. Run the main.py File:

   python main.py
   

2. Choose Between Simulation or Real Drone:

   When prompted, select your option:

   • Press 1 to use the simulated drone.
   • Press 2 to use the real Tello drone.

3. Lessons: The code contains several pre-defined lessons, each with different drone commands to control the drone.

   To run a lesson, simply uncomment the respective section in main.py and run the file.

Lessons

The main.py file contains different lessons for learning and practicing drone commands. Each lesson is commented out, and you can uncomment the code to run the lesson.

Here is an overview of the lessons:

1. Lesson 1: Basic Drone Commands

   • Connect to the drone
   • Take off
   • Move up, forward, and rotate
   • Perform a flip
   • Land

2. Lesson 2: Advanced Movement Commands

   • Move left, right, backward
   • Rotate counterclockwise
   • Land

3. Lesson 3: Speed and Flipping

   • Set speed
   • Move forward with the new speed
   • Perform different flips
   • Land

4. Lesson 4: Flying to Coordinates (Go and Curve)

   • Fly to specific coordinates using the go command
   • Fly in a curve between two points
   • Land

5. Lesson 5: Monitoring and Battery

   • Check battery level (mocked in the simulator)
   • Land

6. Lesson 6: Full Control with Rotation and Flipping

   • Full control with moving up, down, forward, backward
   • Rotate clockwise and counterclockwise
   • Perform flips
   • Land

Running on Simulated Drone

If you select 1 during the prompt, the program will run on the simulated drone. Make sure you have the DroneBlocksTelloSimulator installed.

Example: To run Lesson 1 on the simulator:

1. Open main.py.
2. Uncomment the code for Lesson 1.
3. Run the script.
4. Select 1 when prompted to use the simulator.
5. Enter your simulator key when prompted.

Running on Real Tello Drone

If you select 2 during the prompt, the program will control the real Tello drone using the easyTello library.

Example: To run Lesson 1 on the real drone:

1. Open main.py.
2. Uncomment the code for Lesson 1.
3. Run the script.
4. Select 2 when prompted to use the real Tello drone.
