Feature Request: Video Stream with Separate AP #26

Open alecGraves opened 5 years ago

alecGraves commented 5 years ago

The limitation is mentioned in the FAQ:

Q8:Can Tello EDU transmit video streams externally in station mode (send ap 'ssid' 'password' command for Tello EDU)?

A8:This feature is currently not supported.

Can this feature be added to the Firmware / SDK? It would make the EDU edition much more useful for may lab.

Currently, this limitation removes all benefits of having the EDU edition because I need live video from all drones in the swarm.

I agree. I thought this would be possible. That is the reason why we bought three of them.

As a kind of work around, you can use multiple usb wi-fi adapters and some linux networking to recieve multiple video streams and control multiple Tellos from a single computer. And it works with both EDU and regular edition!

See my fork for implementation: Check out the Diff

And the interface string is just the shortened name of the wifi device (e.g. when you type ip a or ifconfig in the linux terminal). Usually it is things like 'wlan0', but my dongle had the weird one you see in the diff.
