Day 2: Flight Programming

Instructions (Part I):



Instructions (Part II): Click here to add the “DroneBlocks” application to your Chrome browser. If you would rather program from a tablet or phone, click here for the iPad/iPhone application, and here for Android application. Log into the application using the dropdown menu. 

Instructions (Part III): Watch the below video to learn how to login and save your flight missions to the DroneBlocks Chrome application while offline. (Note: A similar process exists for both iPad/iPhone and Android applications.) 

Instructions (Part IV): Write and implement a code that commands your drone to take off, flip, fly in a square pattern, flip, and land. Initiate your square using a loop. You instructor will model this for you first to make sure that everyone is comfortable connecting to their drone! 

Instructions (Part V): Write and implement a code that commands your drone to take off, flip, fly in a rectangle pattern, flip, and land. 

Instructions (Part VI): Write and implement a code that commands your drone to take off and fly forward and return 3 times. Each time your drone must increase its flight distance by an increment of 12 inches. 

Instructions (Part VII): Watch the below video to learn how to use variables when coding your drone.
