turn_degree()

Description

A Senior level function that yaws by a given degree in a given direction.
This function takes an input degree in an input direction, and turns until it reaches the given degree. In some instances, the drone may turn past the given degree and need to rotate all the way around again before reaching the correct degree.

Syntax

Python: turn_degree(direction, degree)
Arduino: turnDegree(direction, degree)

Parameters

direction : a string that’s either left or right
degree : a constant in Arduino and enum in Python. The degree the drone will turn to the right, with its starting position representing 0 degrees,Degree.ANGLE_30, Degree.ANGLE_45, Degree.ANGLE_60, Degree.ANGLE_90, Degree.ANGLE_120, Degree.ANGLE_135, Degree.ANGLE_150, Degree.ANGLE_180, Degree.ANGLE_210, Degree.ANGLE_225, Degree.ANGLE_240, Degree.ANGLE_270, Degree.ANGLE_300, Degree.ANGLE_315, Degree.ANGLE_330

Returns

None

Example Code

Python

#Python code

import CoDrone

from CoDrone import Direction,Degree

drone = CoDrone.CoDrone()

drone.pair()

drone.takeoff()

drone.turn_degree(Direction.LEFT, Degree.ANGLE_45) # Turn left 45 degrees

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.turnDegree(LEFT, ANGLE_45); // Turn left 45 degrees

}

void loop(){

}
