drone.move(1)

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.setThrottle(60); // set throttle power for 60%

CoDrone.move(5); // move drone for 5 seconds

CoDrone.land();

}
