The author of this package is in no way affiliated with Ryze, DJI, or Intel.  \n\nThe package has been developed by gathering together information from a variety of sources on the Internet (especially https://tellopilots.com) and by examining data packets sent to/from the Tello.  The package will probably be extended as more knowledge of the drone's protocol is obtained.\n\nUse this package at your own risk.  The author(s) is/are in no way responsible for any damage caused either to or by the drone when using this software.\n\n## Features\n\nThe following features have been implemented...\n  * Stick-based flight control, ie. for joystick, game-, or flight-controller\n  * Drone built-in flight commands, eg. Takeoff(), PalmLand()\n  * Macro-level flight control, eg. Forward(), Up()\n  * Autopilot flight control, eg. AutoFlyToHeight(), AutoFlyToXY()\n  * Video stream support\n  * Enriched flight-data (some log data is added)\n  * Picture taking/saving support \n  * Multiple drone support - Untested\n\nSee [ImplementationChart.md](https://github.com/SMerrony/tello/blob/master/ImplementationChart.md) for full details of what functions are currently implemented.\n\nDocumentation should be available locally via godoc, or via [godoc.org](https://godoc.org/github.com/SMerrony/tello).\n\nAn example application using this package is available at [telloterm](https://github.com/SMerrony/telloterm).\n\nHere is an example of just about the simplest use of the package...\n```\npackage main\nimport (\n  \"log\"\n  \"time\"\n  \"github.com/SMerrony/tello\"\n)\n\nfunc main() {\n  \tdrone := new(tello.Tello)\n  err := drone.ControlConnectDefault()\n  if err != nil {\n    log.Fatalf(\"%v\", err) \n  }\n\n  drone.TakeOff()\n  time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)\n  drone.Land()\n  drone.ControlDisconnect()\n}\n```\n\n## Concepts\n### Connection Types\nThe drone provides two types of connection: a 'control' connection which handles all commands\nto and from the drone including flight, status and (still) pictures, and a 'video' connection which\nprovides an H.264 video stream from the forward-facing camera.  \n\nYou must establish a control connection to use the drone, but the video connection is optional and cannot be started unless a control connection is running.\n\n### Funcs vs. Channels\nCertain functionality is made available in two forms: single-shot function calls and streaming (channel) data flows.\nEg. GetFlightData() vs. StreamFlightData(), and UpdateSticks() vs. StartStickListener().  \n\nUse whichever paradigm you prefer, but be aware that the channel-based calls should return immediately (the channels are buffered) whereas the function-based options could conceivably cause your application to pause very briefly if the Tello is very busy; in practice, the author has not found this to be an issue.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsmerrony%2Ftello","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsmerrony%2Ftello","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsmerrony%2Ftello/lists"}
