AttributeError: 'Tello' object has no attribute 'address' (Tello Ryze Drone StreamOn error, unable to call streamon function:)

Question

from djitellopy import tello
import cv2
# Create instances for each Tello drone
drone1 = tello.Tello(ip='192.168.10.2')  # Replace with your first Wi-Fi adapter's IP
#drone2 = tello.Tello(ip='192.168.10.3')  # Replace with your second Wi-Fi adapter's IP
# ... Add more instances for additional drones

# Connect to drones
drone1.connect()
#drone2.connect()
# ... Connect other drones

# Send commands to drones
# drone1.takeoff()
# drone2.takeoff()
# ... Send other commands

# Clean up
drone1.streamon()



# while True:
#     img = drone1.get_frame_read().frame
#     img = cv2.resize(img, (360, 240))
#     cv2.imshow("results", img)
#     if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
#         break

Whenever I try to call the streamon function I get this error, tried asking ChatGPT but would not give me an answer

AttributeError: 'Tello' object has no attribute 'address'

Process finished with exit code 1

I am using multiple network adapters to connect to multiple ryze drones but can't even get the streamon fn to work for the first one

For the IP address of the first tello drone, i specified my network adapters ip adress as tellos have the same IP

Any response is appreciated :)

The main problem in your code is not the AttributeError, it's the TypeError in the constructor:

TypeError: Tello.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ip'

You are either using an outdated version of the library, or ChatGPT just hallucinated and generated invalid code. If you take a look at the constructor of the Tello class (here), you can see that it accepts these parameters:

    def __init__(self,
                 host=TELLO_IP,
                 retry_count=RETRY_COUNT,
                 vs_udp=VS_UDP_PORT):

So you should use host instead of ip when creating the Tello instance.
