go()

Description#

A simpler Junior level function that represents flight with direction with more natural language. It simply flies in the given direction for a given duration and power.

Syntax#

go(direction)
go(direction, duration)
go(direction, duration, power)

Parameters#

direction: an enum in Python. It’s the direction of the flight, which can be one of the following: FORWARD, BACKWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN.
duration: the duration of the flight motion in seconds. If undefined, defaults to run indefinitely.
power: the power at which the drone flies forward. Takes a value from 0 to 100. Defaults to 50 if not defined.

Returns#

None

Example Code#
Python#
#Python code
import CoDrone_mini
from CoDrone_mini import Direction
drone = CoDrone_mini.CoDrone()
drone.pair()
drone.takeoff()
# Try each of these commands by uncommenting them
#drone.go(Direction.FORWARD) # Go forward indefinitely at 50% power
#drone.go(Direction.UP, 2) # Go up for 5 seconds at 50% power
drone.go(Direction.BACKWARD, 3, 40) # Go backwards for 3 seconds at 70% power
drone.land()
drone.close()
