move()

Description

You can use this function to create more complex flight movements. With no parameters, move() will just run based on whatever the flight variables have been set to with functions like setPitch() and setThrottle() indefinitely. You can also run it for a certain duration. The function also takes multiple parameters, where you can set roll, pitch, yaw, and throttle all at once. You can run it infinitely with 4 parameters, or you can run it for a given duration with 5 parameters. If the drone is not flying, nothing will happen.

Syntax

move(): runs infinitely
move(duration)
move(roll, pitch, yaw, throttle): runs infinitely
move(duration, roll, pitch, yaw, throttle)

Parameters

duration: the duration of the flight motion in seconds. If 0, the duration is infinity.
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
yaw: the power of the yaw, which is an int from -100 to 100
throttle: the power of the throttle, which is an int from -100 to 100

Returns

None

Example Code

Python

#Python code

import CoDrone

drone = CoDrone.CoDrone()

drone.pair()

drone.takeoff()

drone.move() # Move indefinitely based on the current value of flight variables

drone.move(5) # Move 5 seconds based on the current value of flight variables

drone.move(0, 0, 30, 30) # Move up(throttle) and turn left(yaw) indefinitely

drone.move(5, 0, 0, 50, 50) # Move up(throttle) and turn left(yaw) for 5 seconds

drone.land()

drone.close()

Arduino

#include<CoDrone.h> //header

void setup(){

//open serial and connect

CoDrone.begin(115200);

CoDrone.pair(Nearest);

CoDrone.takeoff(); // take off

// Move indefinitely with pitch set to 50

CoDrone.setPitch(50);

CoDrone.move();

// Move 5 seconds to the right with roll set to 50

CoDrone.setRoll(50);

CoDrone.move(5);

CoDrone.move(0, 0, 0, 80, 80); // Move up(throttle) and turn left(yaw) indefinitely

CoDrone.move(5, 0, 0, 80, 80); // Move up(throttle) and turn left(yaw) for 5 seconds

CoDrone.land(); //land

}
