Support for tello EDU and standard? #3

Closed chmac closed 4 years ago

This library looks awesome, thanks a lot for making this drone controllable from javascript!

The readme makes no mention of the Tello EDU, so I assume this package controls the regular tello drone, is that correct?

It looks like the difference between the tello (€100) and tello EDU (€160) is only software, so if I can control both from javascript, no need to pay extra for whatever SDK 2.0 is included in the EDU version! :-)

Spent some time ont his and eventually made some progress.

For anybody else who finds this issue, yes, the library most likely supports both tello and tello edu. The edu version includes 2 extra software features that I can see. First, it can target "missiong pads" which are printed sheets that it can search for and land on autonomously. Second, it can be connected to a wifi hotpost and so can be controlled as part of a "swarm". But otherwise, the SDK of both tello and tello edu is very similar.
