A very hacked DJI Tello....looking for help for next stages

[HappyEssex]

Hey all from Essex, UK.

I just joined as I have a DJI Tello that I have hacked to the max but will now be seeking some advice on my next steps.

So far Ive managed
- to reduce weight of the Tello and a generic gopro so it is flyable.

- range extended through a wifi repeater but will be mounting on (perhaps) onto the Tello.

- FPV goggles via Samsung S10e and GearVR headset.

- Found best handling after market props.

Next plans....
- onboard repeater using the USB feed.

- change out motors for stronger ones, run somehow by a microcontroller and seperate powersupply (using two TB6612FNG?)


Its currently controlled very successfully via a GameSir T1S through OTG to the S10e, using the TelloFPV app (not OEM).

P.s. Ive got a new frame on its way, and may well be going from 3" to 5" if the motor upgrade works....and getting to 250g max.

And if youre thinking why bother, well its jolly good fun. The Tello is also very stable and has plenty of finished software.
A used Tello is about $60 here, so if I can use the main board to control a bigger frame with stronger motors I have a pretty solid controlled flight control system and FPV TX/RX.
The price of the motors, controller, frame and battery is about $50....
And at the end of my build Ill have a GoPro carrying quad with a 720p HD feed and around 15mins flight time, that is stablised and easily replaced.
