Why does my Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Python Calculator controlled Tello crash and fly oddly?
If your Tello drone crashes or flies erratically, it might be due to bent propellers or interference from the propeller guards. Try replacing the propellers, paying attention to the markings and placement order. Also, you may need to perform an IMU calibration using the phone software. See the owner's manual for instructions.
What to do if my Texas Instruments Calculator will not connect to the Tello drone?
If your Texas Instruments Calculator won't connect to the Tello drone, try the following: 1. Quit the program. 2. Unplug the cable from the calculator. 3. Press the reset button on the back of the microbit card and the RST button on the Grove WiFi module. 4. Reconnect the cable to the calculator and try again. Also, ensure the TX and RX pins are correctly configured for your expansion board. The default TX and RX pins for the BitMaker expansion board are P2 and P1. If using a different expansion board other than the MakerBit, you must configure different TX and RX pins unique to that board's port.
What to do if my Texas Instruments Calculator controlled Tello drone will not take off, and the status light is blinking red?
If your Tello drone won't take off and the status light is blinking red, the suggested solution is to charge the drone battery.
What to do if my Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Python Calculator does not connect to Tello, and microbit displays an unhappy face?
If the Texas Instruments Calculator doesn't connect to Tello, and the microbit displays an unhappy face, consider the following checks: * Ensure the WiFi module is in the correct port. * If present, verify that the expansion board's power switch is ON. * Confirm that all batteries are fully charged. * Check that the external battery connected to the expansion board is turned on. * Try disconnecting and reconnecting the calculator and the external battery before retrying the program.
Why is my Texas Instruments Calculator controlled Tello flight erratic even though the command status reports "COMPLETED"?
If the command status reports "COMPLETED" but the Tello flight is erratic, it may be due to the lighting and floor conditions of the space. Tello uses flight vision for positioning, so a well-lit space is required. Also, the floor should not be uniform or glossy. Try moving to an area with a different floor appearance and plenty of light.
Why will my Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus CE Python Calculator controlled Tello not perform flips?
If your Tello won't perform flips, make sure the battery charge is greater than 50%.
