# DJI Tello test

![tello](https://product4.djicdn.com/uploads/photos/33900/medium_851441d0-f0a6-4fbc-a94a-a8fddcac149f.jpg)

This repo was created to do some PoCs to place all toghrther: [Go](https://golang.org/), [DJI Tello](https://store.dji.com/product/tello) drone, [gobot](https://gobot.io/) and [gocv](https://gocv.io/)  

  

## /facetracking

This is a simple program that just let the Tello drone detect a face and follow it automatically. You can also control the Tello drone from the keyboard

Stack:

 - OpenCV (via gocv) and caffe (for face detection)

 - [https://gobot.io/documentation/platforms/keyboard/](https://gobot.io/documentation/platforms/keyboard/)

 - [https://gobot.io/documentation/platforms/tello/](https://gobot.io/documentation/platforms/tello/)

 - [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for video compression

#### Set up

Before starting, you must have installed:

 - [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)

 - OpenCV: it can be installed by installing gocv [https://gocv.io/getting-started/](https://gocv.io/getting-started/)

#### How to run it?

First, connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network from your computer. It will be named something like "TELLO-XXXXXX".

Then, run the program: 

`go run ./facetracking/facetracking.go`

#### How it works?

Once program is started it, opens a window where video from the Tello drone will be streamed.

It is also listening for any key pressed on the console to control the drone:

| Key    |  Action   | 

|--------|-----------|

| 1 | take off | 

| 2 | take off by throwing it up | 

| Q | land |

| ⬅ | rotate left | 

| ➡ | rotate right |

| ⬇ | go down |

| ⬆︎️ | go up |

| W | forward |

| S | Backward |

| A | Left |

| D | Right |

| **T** | **Start / Stop face tracking** |

| B | Battery indicator| 

| X | Stats (flight data) |

| Spacebar | Hover |

| ESC | Quit Program | 

So, you need to:

- run the program

- then take off (`1` or `2`)

- put your face in front of the Tello camera (you should see a rectangle in the video window)

- then start tracking (`T`)

- Move yourself so the drone can follow you _(consider slow movements as this program is not optimized yet to support very fast movements)_

- Once you are done, then press `T` again to let the drone stop tracking
