Pega Meets Tello Drone
I came across the video that Giovanni Mangani created showing Pega connecting to Ryze Tello drone. Does someone have an idea how this was implemented?

@NathanielC4390- Giovanni's project was a bit more sophisticated as it involved Alexa & voice commands. From an MVP perspective, here's what you would need:
- The Tello SDK - includes an example on how to control your drone
- A lightweight Python web server (would recommend Flask)
- An extension for building REST APIs (would recommend Flask-RESful)
You would then create methods for specific drone commands and expose them via REST. Then, use them either with Data Flows or Data Pages to call them.

@mrwolf - Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there another approach that would not require running the REST API service? would it be possible for Pega to connect directly to the drone and access the drone APIs directly? I am asking as I had the impression that it was possible looking at the demo - that it was not just a rest connector call
