Comment back here if you need more help getting this data! 😄

The Tello doesn't have a GPS, you can't really know your point in space, but there is a provided estimate from your initial hover point (position after lift off).

#72 (comment) explains everything well, but I did the following:

Inside the return value of drone.EVENT_FLIGHT_DATA, you can get positional and velocity data via an event handler:

def handler(event, sender, data, **args):
    drone = sender
    if event is drone.EVENT_FLIGHT_DATA:
        # perform actions here
        print(data)

# some code later....

drone.subscribe(drone.EVENT_FLIGHT_DATA, handler)

If I created a function that defined the best possible path between two points and I wanted to translate that path into directions for the tello drone to fly, how would I do that. I do not have any positional data on the drone nor do I have any directional data, which makes it hard to figure out which direction the drone needs to go initially to follow the designated path.
