See through your drone’s eyes
Your Echo Drone has a 720p camera. Today you’ll connect your phone to the drone and watch its live video feed - the same first-person view real drone pilots use. This runs over Wi-Fi using the Tspeed7 app.
Your phone joins the drone's own Wi-Fi to see the live camera feed
Camera video is separate from the Bluetooth coding you did on Day 3. The camera streams over Wi-Fi to the phone app, while echo.pitsco.com used Bluetooth for code. Different jobs, different connections.
Two radios, two jobs
Your drone actually has two wireless connections, and they do completely different things. Yesterday you used Bluetooth to send code. Today you’ll use Wi-Fi to receive video.
Bluetooth carries your code; Wi-Fi carries the camera picture

Allow location if asked
