set_pitch()

Description#

This is a setter function that allows you to set the pitch variable. Once you set pitch, you have to use move() to actually execute the movement. The pitch variable will remain what you last set it until the end of the flight sequence, so you will have to set it back to 0 if you don't want the drone to pitch again.

Syntax#

Python: set_pitch(power)

Parameters#

power: An int from -100 to 100 that sets the pitch variable. The number represents the direction and power of the output for that flight motion variable. Negative pitch is backwards, positive pitch is forwards.

Returns#

None

Example Code#
Python#
#Python code
import CoDrone_mini
drone = CoDrone_mini.CoDrone()
drone.pair()
drone.takeoff()
# Drone goes right for 1 second with 50 power
drone.set_pitch(50)
drone.move(1) #use move() to execute the movement for 1 second
drone.land()
drone.close()
