height_from_pressure()

Description

This function gets the drone's current height in centimeters based on the initial pressure sensor reading. You must call set_initial_pressure() to establish a reference point.

Syntax

height_from_pressure() height_from_pressure(b, m)

Parameters

b: slope intercept in pascals (default is set to 0)
m: slope in centimeters/pascals (default is set to 9.34)

Returns

Estimated height in centimeters relative to starting position.

Example Code

Python

#Python code

from codrone_edu.drone import *

drone = Drone()

drone.pair()

drone.set_initial_pressure() # Take an initial pressure reading as a reference

for i in range(300):

print(drone.height_from_pressure(), " centimeters")

time.sleep(0.2)
