Fly Tello in the dark without IMU? #135

Closed Tobias5412 closed 2 years ago

Tobias5412 commented 2 years ago

Hi, inspired by Murtaza's drone project, I fly the Tello in autonomous mode. In well lit rooms it works fine. Now I wonder if it is possible to fly in low light conditions, for example following a light in the dark. The IMU does not work correctly under these light conditions and hinders takeoff. So is it possible to turn off the IMU? Or are there other ways to work around the problem?

I am not aware of a way to achieve what you are looking for. The Tello uses its downvision camera and motion detection algorithms for flight stabilization, which is why it does not work well under bad light conditions.
