Node-Red Configuration for Tello Drone (Unable to take pictures)

General
1

Hi all !

First of all, I am a beginner in using Node-Red, and am trying to follow a tutorial to take photos with my Tello drone - https://github.com/johnwalicki/Node-RED-Tello-Control/blob/master/flows/solutions/part7_solution.json

This is what I have done thus far:

  1. Imported part4_solution.json to control my Tello drone.
  2. Imported part7_solution.json to take picture.

After I launch Node-red, I can control my drone using Tello control dashboard. My problem comes when I i navigate to Tello Camera tab. As you can see in the 2nd image, I am unable to see the camera view from my drone (I initially thought that it might be the drone's camera issue but when I used Tello's phone app, it is working fine).

Appreciate if anyone has any solutions to work around this.

Thanks!

Add some debug nodes to the flow to see what is happening. Stick on the UDP-in node and the output of the 'parse incoming messages' function node
