Ryze Tello Drone Support from MATLAB
Control Ryze Tello drones from MATLAB and acquire sensor and image data.
Check the System Requirements
To install a hardware support package, you must have a supported product release, along with the required operating system and base product.
View the hardware support package system requirements table and confirm you have:
- A supported release
- A supported operating system
- The required base products
If you do not have a supported release or the required base products, you can get started with a free trial, or you can purchase products.
Continue with the Installation
After confirming you have the system requirements, proceed with either installation option listed below.
Option 1: Using the Toolstrip
Launch the Support Package Installer from your version of MATLAB and navigate to the correct support package.
Option 2: "Get Support Package" Button (.mlpkginstall file*)
Clicking the Get Support Package button provides the support package install file:
([filename].mlpkginstall)
There are several ways to initiate the Support Package Installer from these files:
- Open the
.mlpkginstallfile directly from your Internet browser. - Download and save the file (the default option for some Internet browsers), and open it directly from your Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system.
- Open the
.mlpkginstallfile directly from within MATLAB by navigating the Current Folder to the location of the downloaded file and double clicking it. That will initiate the installation for the MATLAB release that you have open.
The primary difference between using the .mlpkginstall file (option 2) rather than the toolstrip (option 1) to initiate support package installation is that the file allows the user to avoid the support package selection screen on the installer.
*These file types were introduced in MATLAB R2013a.
Users without an Internet connection can install hardware support packages by following the download instructions.
Capabilities and Features
MATLAB Support Package for Tello drones provides interfaces that enable you to control a DJI Ryze Tello drone from MATLAB. You can pilot the drone by sending commands to control its direction and orientation. You can also read navigation data and process image data using MATLAB commands.
With this hardware support package for Tello drones, you can perform the following tasks in MATLAB:
- Connect to Ryze Tello drone over WiFi
- Use MATLAB commands to take off, move in a specified direction, turn, and land
- Flip drone in one of four directions
- Stream images and live video from drone's camera
- Read flight data including speed, height, orientation, and battery level
If you are using the Tello EDU model, you can also perform these tasks in MATLAB:
- Send abort command to shut off drone motors in case of emergency
- Fly diagonally along multiple axes at once
- Control multiple Tello EDU drones from the same MATLAB session
