aTelloPilot Head tracking

init screen This feature uses magnetic sensor and gyro sensor on the deivce, so it is working when magenetic sensor is calibrated properly

1. Calibration

1. turn on Tello in front of yourself (not facing yourself)
2. turn head tracking on without taking off
3. red arrow (device orientation) will be seen in heading indicator
4. rotate yourself holding the device and check the red arrow shows correct orientation
5. If not, rotate the device as 8 shape
6. check if it is working well

2. Tello and yourself should be aligned when Tello is turned on

  • Tello doesn't have GPS so it can't provide absolute coordinate
  • And it doesn't have compass either so it can't provide absolute its heading
  • So alignment is required when it is turned on and flight app is started
