tellosync 0.1.0

An easy framework to support DJI Tello scripting in Python 3

tellosync

tellosync is a Python library created to provide users with a simple way to interface and send commands to the DJI Tello drone, as well as to simply and easily teach students how to control the drone using Python 3. All the commands outlined in the DJI Tello SDK 1.3.0.0 are present in this library. This library is based off of easyTello. tellosync is meant to add the ability to sync multiple computers using Arduinos. Each computer that is communicating with a drone is connected to an Arduino which then syncs with the Arduinos of other drones. This is a work in progress as of 6/28/2023 and is mostly for the sake of learning.

Installation

To install the library, simply run:

pip install tellosync 

or to install from cloned source:

$ git clone https://github.com/vwu1888/easyTello
$ cd easyTello
$ python setup.py install

Note: tellosync requires OpenCV-Python and pySerial. These should automatically install with tellosync, however, you can manually install it by running:

pip install opencv-python

pip install pyserial

Examples

Creating a drone object in Python:

from easytello import tello

my_drone = tello.Tello()

Programming the drone to takeoff, fly in a square and then land:

my_drone.takeoff()

for i in range(4):
	my_drone.forward(100)
	my_drone.cw(90)
	
my_drone.land()

Toggling state of video stream:

# Turning on stream
my_drone.streamon()
# Turning off stream
my_drone.streamoff()
