Droneblocks: Getting Started with Tello Drone

As mentioned earlier, our Tello's do not have GPS so when we say "20 cm" it's kind of a guess.
Let's get our bearings before we start creating our first programs.
How it works
We need to be very clear on how our Drone and how our App work together… but separately.
Tello Wireless / WI-FI (this is the Wi-Fi the Tello Drone creates)
Staff / Teachers / Home WI-FI (this is your home / school Wi-Fi)
Order of Wireless on Laptop / Apple / Android Device
1. Connect to School Wireless
2. Open DroneBlocks App
3. Login
4. Download projects / missions
5. Disconnect from School Wireless
6. Connect to Tello Wireless
7. Launch Mission
8. Tweak Code
9. Repeat 7 + 8 unless finished
10. Disconnect from Tello Wireless
11. Connect to School Wireless
12. Save your Mission
Status Lights
Looking closely at our Tello you can see a tiny little LED. This LED lets us know the state / status of our Drone.
Off - haha, this means … it's off.
Cycling red, green, orange = booting up.
Flashing orange = waiting for Wireless Connection.
Blinking Green = good sign, Visual Positioning System is active and working.
Blinking Orange = bad sign, VPS not active, controlling drone is going to be an issue.

I'm turn on the notifications, sir...my tello for my kids it's on delivery,,,I really want to test this out...so cool

It's really cool. The new app update on iOS and Android supports camera display while your code is running as well as "take photo" option. It's so cool

Great video instruction. We are using this at a 5th grade drone club. How do we get the drone simulator. Thank you.

If I'm trying to connect my Droneblocks program to the DJI Phantom 3 (which I'm reading is possible on many websites). Does this process work the same for that? I don't believe the Phantom creates a network like the Tellos do.

This is awesome sir. I teach a 7/8 grade stem course in Reno, NV and wanted to check out your OneNote. Is there a way I can access it?

[@inaim2]

can you determine the speed you can go forward or yaw? (like go forward 20 inches at x rate?) is it possible to have it automatically follow the code script without me have to step thru the script manually in the app? thank you for the video!

Hi. Thanks for the video! Would it be possible for me to obtain the One Note you are using? I think it would really help my students!
