Awesome idea

[@engineeringwonder]

Thanks!! 😊

[@GaryParkin]

Really nice idea. Thank you. I purchased a Tello drone from Amazon 2 years ago and it seemed that by the time I got it to connect to my WiFi, I only had less then 10 minutes of fly time. I sent it back within 2 weeks. I so wished it worked. Could I have gotten a better battery maybe?

[@engineeringwonder]

Thanks! I hear you. It is a little cumbersome to connect to your phone or iPad. Not sure there are better batteries for it. I just have 3 on the charger all the time. When one dies I swap it out.

[@GaryParkin]

@@engineeringwonder I went that route too. But after you change the battery you have to reconnect it. LOL
I went crazy. I thought about some way to keep it connected but I just figured I'd buy a better drone. Never did. :)
Now I'm making robot cars out of ESP32's and Ardiunos

[@engineeringwonder]

@@GaryParkin Yeah having the Arduino auto connect is a game changer for me:)

[@GaryParkin]

@@engineeringwonder That's interesting. I may have to re-buy that drone. Thank you.

[@JimSolderitsch]

I have been working on a similar project but using an ESP32. Perhaps we can share ideas!

[@engineeringwonder]

That sounds wonderful I'm always up for a collab!

awesom one could u please send me the code

[@engineeringwonder]

Thank you! The first link in the show description is the link to the code.
