This project will work to take pictures and videos of the UCF campus using the DJI Tello. This will be done by using a combination of gesture control and GPS in python.
The DJI Tello drone is a great drone to use for coding projects. It can be used for a variety of tasks. After purchasing a DJI Tello, follow these steps in order to pilot it using python.
The steps to piloting the drone using the computer.
- Install python
- Get an IDE, VS Code is preferred
- Open the command prompt and enter "pip3 install djitellopy" (this will install the python libraries)
- Connect your computer to the DJI Tello using wifi
- Run your code! (Look at the "Takeoff" for the basic takeoff code) :D
