Exploring Drone Technology & Cybersecurity
CPU: Intel 14 Core Processor
This is the brains of the system and where the real magic happens.
5 Megapixel camera
Allowing for high quality images and videos - 4 tiny propellors
4 propeller guards
Crashing is inevitable!
1 battery charger port connected with micro usb
1 1.1Ah/2.8 volt battery
Maybe one day Tesla will make a battery that can fit this and last longer in flight

The Tello Drone runs a DHCP server that leases out IP addresses on the 192.168.10.0/24 network.

The DJI-SDK/Tello-python repo is hosted on GitHub and has many nifty python kits to learn programming in a comprehensive way

I was successful in connecting to the drone utilizing the Drooone Windows app developed by Symmetry Soft. This allows us to pilot the drone from our Windows system. See below for a quick view of how this works. Below is an example of me using the drone in a lesson from one of my YouTube courses Practical Networking Fundamentals:
When I first started experimenting with Drooone the application kept displaying an error message when I attempted to connect to the Tello SSID (wireless network name). After some troubleshooting I discovered that it was the Windows firewall denying the connection from the OS to the drone. Deactivating the firewall allowed it to work, following this I allowed UDP ports: 10001 & 10002 through the firewall. Leaving the entire Firewall turned off is not a best practice & can put your computer at risk. This is why you must learn what exactly is being blocked and allow that specific application or logical port through the firewall.
