go()

Description#

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

Syntax#

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

Parameters#

direction: a constant in Arduino and 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 1 seconds. If duration is 0, it will turn right 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
from CoDrone import Direction
drone = CoDrone.CoDrone()
drone.pair()
drone.takeoff()
drone.go(Direction.FORWARD) # Go forward for 1 second at 50% power
drone.go(Direction.UP, 5) # Go up for 5 seconds at 50% power
drone.go(Direction.BACKWARD, 3, 70) # Go backwards for 3 seconds at 70% power
drone.land()
drone.close()
Arduino#
//Arduino code
#include<CoDrone.h> //header
void setup(){
//open serial and connect
CoDrone.begin(115200);
CoDrone.pair(Nearest);
CoDrone.takeoff();
CoDrone.go(FORWARD); // Go forward at 50% power for 1 second
CoDrone.go(UP, 5); // Go up for 5 seconds at 50% power
CoDrone.go(BACKWARD, 3, 70) // Go backwards for 3 seconds at 70% power
}
void loop(){
}
