Tello Controller Project

Looks like fun. Anyone with experience with this?

I ordered an Arduino Nano to test and will comment here if I get it working.

This looks like a fun project with lots to learn. I’m always amazed with what can be done with a cheap sensor like the MPU-6050! I previously started working on a project for an RC plane stabilizer based on the MPU-6050 with the Arduino Nano.

#include "I2Cdev.h"
#include "MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h"
#include "Wire.h"
#include "Servo.h"

// class default I2C address is 0x68
// specific I2C addresses may be passed as a parameter here
// AD0 low = 0x68 (default for SparkFun breakout and InvenSense evaluation board)
// AD0 high = 0x69
MPU6050 mpu;

#define INTERRUPT_PIN 2  // use pin 2 on Arduino Uno & most boards

// MPU control/status vars
bool dmpReady = false;  // set true if DMP init was successful
uint8_t mpuIntStatus;   // holds actual interrupt status byte from MPU
uint8_t devStatus;      // return status after each device operation (0 = success, !0 = error)
uint16_t packetSize;    // expected DMP packet size (default is 42 bytes)
uint16_t fifoCount;     // count of all bytes currently in FIFO
uint8_t fifoBuffer[64]; // FIFO storage buffer

This code was derived from another project I found online. At any rate, I hope to get some free time to try the Tello project you posted. Please let us know how it goes!
