Tello Drone Controller

Java application for controlling a DJI Tello drone over Wi-Fi using an object-oriented architecture that separates device state, movement commands and network communication.

This project explores direct communication with physical hardware through the Tello command interface. Instead of concentrating all behavior in a single class, the implementation separates the drone model, movement operations, controller logic and network communication into dedicated components.

It is a compact project, but it demonstrates a different engineering context from my web applications: Java, object-oriented design, network communication and command-driven interaction with hardware.

• Connect to a DJI Tello over its Wi-Fi network
• Send flight and movement commands
• Trigger takeoff, landing and rotations
• Read and expose drone status information
• Interactive terminal-based control flow
• Modular object-oriented design

DJI Tello

• Main.java: application entry point and command flow
• Drone.java: drone state and core representation
• DroneController.java: coordinates user actions and drone operations
• DroneMovement.java: movement-related behavior
• DroneMoves.java: supported movement definitions
• DroneStatus.java: drone status representation
• ComandoRede.java: network communication with the device

• Java
• Maven
• Object-oriented programming
• Network communication
• DJI Tello command interface

• JDK 23, matching the current Maven compiler configuration
• Maven-compatible development environment
• Computer connected to the DJI Tello Wi-Fi network

Compile the project with Maven:

mvn compile

Then run src/main/java/Main.java from a Java IDE or configure your preferred Maven/Java runner for the Main class.

The machine running the application must be connected to the drone network.

• Object-oriented modeling
• Separation of responsibilities
• Hardware communication from Java
• Command abstraction
• Device state management
• Working outside a browser/server application stack

Learning and portfolio project focused on Java and hardware integration.
