Hello Jake, thank for sharing this information. I am a new subscriber and new python programmer trying to learn how to do this. My question to you is, does it matter if it is the Tello (standard) or do you use the TelloEDU? Also would it a good idea to go through the "djitellopy" to learn the different arguments?

Hello @wilsondv3, Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Python programming world! I'm glad you're finding the information useful and it's great to have you as a new subscriber. Regarding your question about the Tello drones, I've primarily worked with the Tello EDU and Tello Talent models in my projects. While I haven't personally used the Tello (standard) drone, the key difference among these variations is their support for different sets of commands under their respective SDK versions. Each new iteration, from the standard Tello to the Tello EDU and Tello Talent, offers support for more advanced commands. I would suggest the Tello EDU for anyone looking to dive into programming these drones. The Tello EDU is supported with a range of commands under its SDK, which enables easier and more sophisticated programming. This broader command set can be really advantageous when you're trying to explore more complex programming concepts with the drone. As for going through the "djitellopy" library, I definitely recommend it, especially if you find yourself stuck while debugging a program. Understanding the Tello class from this library can provide deep insight into its inner workings. This knowledge is invaluable as it can help you understand how the drone interacts with your code and how to effectively bring out its capabilities in your programs. Remember, experimenting with the library and trying out different features is a fantastic way to learn. Don’t hesitate to experiment with the commands and see how the drone responds. It’s all part of the learning process. Happy coding and drone flying! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Best, Jake

Hi! How should I program the drone so it flies around while keeping the camera on?

[@JakesScienceShop]

Hi @mysterypanda000, thank you for your question! Keeping the camera on while the drone flies around is a fantastic idea and one that requires a bit of coding with Python and the djitellopy SDK. Explaining this in detail here might be a bit tricky, but you've inspired me to create a dedicated tutorial video on this topic! I'll make it my next project, so please bear with me as I work on delivering a clear and comprehensive guide. I appreciate your patience and your support-it's what drives me to create content that helps our community grow. Stay tuned! 🌟
