In the examples directory there are some code examples:

• taking a picture
• recording a video
• flying a swarm (multiple Tellos at once)
• simple controlling using your keyboard
• mission pad detection
• fully featured manual control using pygame

• If you are using the streamon command and the response is Unknown command means you have to update the Tello firmware. That can be done through the Tello app.
• Mission pad detection and navigation is only supported by the Tello EDU.
• Bright environment is necessary for successful use of mission pads.
• Connecting to an existing wifi network is only supported by the Tello EDU.
