Drone:bit Package

Drone:bit is a new UAV based on micro:bit.

The micro:bit Drone:bit Kit has successfully combined micro:bit with drones, which has provided another possibility for students to create and explore in the sky.

Through your operation, you can give it commands of hovering at a fixed altitude , flying from a waypoint, curvilinear flight, and rolling in the sky etc. even in the classrooms, get your first professional micro:bit Drone:bit Kit now!

Drone:bit, take you to a new height!

This extension is designed to programme and drive the Drone:bit UAV, You can get Drone:bit from the Elecfreaks store

Basic usage

• To initialize the UAV, you can set it to remote control mode and master control mode

  Drones.initModule(Drones.Runmodes.Master)
  

• Setting the flight power of UAV

  Drones.UAV_speed(80)
  

• Basic command of UAV, take off and landing

  Drones.Basic_action(Drones.Basicoptions.Takeoff)
  

• Move command, up and down, left and right, front and back

  Drones.Move_action(Drones.Directionoptions.Forward, 100)
  

• Rotation command, left to right

  Drones.Rotation_action(Drones.Angleoptions.Left, 0)
  

• Roll command, roll 360 degrees, forward, backward, left and right

  Drones.Roll_action(Drones.Rolloptions.Roll_forward)
  

• UAV hover, do not use pause, or UAV will land

  Drones.Hovering(0)
  

• Get the height or voltage of the UAV

  Drones.Get_Sensor(Drones.Sensoroptions.Voltage)
  

• Emergency command, highest priority. The rotor braked and the drone fell. Caution!

  Drones.Urgent_action(Drones.Urgentoptions.Emergency_stop)
  

Code Example

Drones.initModule(Drones.Runmodes.Master)
Drones.UAV_speed(80)
Drones.Basic_action(Drones.Basicoptions.Takeoff)
Drones.Move_action(Drones.Directionoptions.Forward, 100)
basic.forever(function () {
    if (Drones.Get_Sensor(Drones.Sensoroptions.Voltage) > 3.5) {
        Drones.Hovering(10)
    } else {
        Drones.Basic_action(Drones.Basicoptions.Takeoff)
    }
})
