set_trim()

Description#

You can set the roll and pitch trim of the drone in case your drone is drifting. For example, if the drone is drifting to its right, you may want to set the roll to a small negative value. This trim will remain saved, even after powering off until you've changed the trim either programmatically, or done a reset with the remote. NOTE: If you're setting the trim right before a takeoff, make sure to add a time.sleep(1) before the takeoff(), otherwise the takeoff commmand might be skipped.

Syntax#

set_trim(roll, pitch)

Parameters#

roll: the power of the roll, which is an int from -100 to 100
pitch: the power of the pitch, which is an int from -100 to 100

Returns#

None

Example Code#
Python#
#Python code
import CoDrone_mini
import time
drone = CoDrone_mini.CoDrone()
drone.pair()
drone.set_trim(-1, 0) # example: drone is drifting right, so trim to roll left a little bit
time.sleep(1) # Add a time.sleep(1) before takeoff if you're planning to set the trim before takeoff
drone.takeoff()
drone.hover(3)
drone.land()
drone.close()
