Starting-Kit

This repo contains code that knows how to communicate with the Tello drone,
Receive information and video streams from him in real time.
In addition, a code used in Python attached that allows you to
control the drone with the help of your Keyboard while flying
without interfering with the main algorithm (may save your drone).
In the code we used opencv to detect Aruco code - feel free to use something else.

Python libraries

• djitellopy - pip install djitellopy
• OpenCV - pip install opencv-python
• NumPy - pip install numpy
• keyboard - pip install keyboard - might request sudo permission.
• threading
• socket
• Queue
• pandas
• time

Keyboard Interface

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

cd Keyboard-Interface

sudo python3 keyboardControl.py
