Hi,
newbie to tello. Would like to explore drone technology. I found tello can be good start.
I'm confused on tello and tello edu.

I would like to program drone using python, have ability to get the video stream to laptop and leverage AI on video stream.
Can this be done using Tello or Tello Edu? if so which one should I buy?

Regards,
Parag

I have purchased a Tello and it is now stuck in Chennai (India) customs awaiting clearance. I requite an ETA (Equipment Type Approval) issued by the WPC of Department of Telecommunications - India. The ETA is normally obtained by manufacturers.  Please let me have a copy of the ETA so I can clear my Tello.

Dear Hari,
We are pretty sorry about this unpleasant issue.

Upon checking, India was not allowed to fly UAV before so we didn't sell any drone in India officially and have no any Indian approved certification yet. Once again, we pretty sorry about that.

Should you have any other problem, please do feel free to let us know.

Does Tello work with Android phones ?
How deep can we program the Tello.

There is no difference in the hardware, they are the same drone exactly

the difference is the one costs more and they upgraded the software on the EDU version for more features.

They choose not to give the same software version for the cheaper version. It's just a money grab

Can you help to clarify differences between Tello Edu vs Tello in terms of hardwares
and flight control software, and SDK?

To program Tello with Python, DrockBlocks, can I just use Tello ?  I found the name of Tello EDU
is rather confusing. From the name seems that Tello can’t be programmed, I hope that it
is not true.

Thanks

Hello,

Can the Tello EDU version get programmed with Javascript and NodeJS? I see on the site that it can be programmed with Scratch, Swift, and Python, but I need to use JS and Node for a project. I've only seen the regular Tello used with JS and Node online.

Thanks!

Dear,
Normal Tello and Tello EDU are two different versions, cannot be alternated each other by upgrading or degrading firmware.
Hope my reply could help you!

Dear, tello of normal version doesn't support multiple control, but tello edu support this mode, which also called flight in formation, that is you can control more than one drone by swift playground or python, but not by a controller or Tello APP.
Hope my reply could help you!

I think if you have a regular $99 Tello you can use sdk 1.3.  It has all the same kinematic features (fly up down left right etc) and video streaming (turn it on/off).  If you get the edu version you can do lookdown marker-card recognition (fly to card #1 ... #8) and swarm (one parent drone and K-1 child drones connect to the parent drone 802.11 network so when you connect to the parent drone 802.11 network you should be able to send commands to all drones by using different IP addresses, I presume.)  Also I think the Edu version is the only drone that is 100% black (the $99 drones have a white cover and other colors (not black) are available.)

Dear customer,
Tello edu can only recognize the default marker and access to stream of front-facing camera.
Hope my response could help you!

Hi!
From documentation comparison of SDK 1.3 and 2.0 seems that in the newer SDK are missing the following read command:
height?
temp?
attitude?
baro?
acceleration?
tof?

do you confirm are not present:
do they have been replaced in some other way?
Thanks
Joe
