DroneBlocks

I don’t have much to say other than it doesn’t work with small phones like the iPhone SE not 2020 edition. The Ui on the top just mushes up together and won’t let me do anything. I hope they make the Ui for smaller phones easier so we small phone users can also experience coding on our Tellos.

The Tello drone ($99 value) was chosen for the camp at a PRESTIGIOUS university only to be disappointed using this app when introducing coding to program the device. Keep in mind the students are either Level 4 or Level 5, and wish to pursue a career in Engineering. So imagine their disappointment when they discovered major flaws when using the app. First was figuring how to connect it. Once connected, both the camera and the "Land at Home" features become inactive; so, Drone Blocks's Lesson 2: Dronie activity was cancelled. Having limited features quickly bored the students wherein the Facilitators switched to introducing Thinker CAD and 3D printing. The app needs to be updated ASAP!!! 👎🏾👎🏾

This app is great. I use it for my Tello drone. The one thing that I really wish you would add is camera controls. You can control the camera on other drones using this app but when you go to Tello blocks (The only one that works with the Tello drone) there is no camera controls. I cannot program it to record while doing pre-programmed commands. Other than this it’s a good app I just really wish you would add camera controls for Tello.
