flyt-python 0.2.3

Python package for Drone Applications

This is a python library which a user can import in the python script and can control the drone through flytbase platform.

Steps to use this library:

1. Install the package by typing in terminal: pip install flyt-python

2. Open terminal and install Redis-server by typing sudo apt-get install redis-server

3. Download Flytsim Docker.

4. Follow the Documentation and launch the Docker.

5. Activate and Register Flytsim docker device using Flytbase Platform and get Vehicle ID and Personal Access Token.

6. Go to the folder where library exists, open terminal and type python3 daemon.py and press Enter.

7. Now try running the demo apps present in the Demo Apps folder.

   Demo App 1: This demo app makes the robot takeoff, move in a square trajectory of side length provided as an argument to the script and land once the entire mission is over.

   from flyt_python.flyt_python import DroneApiConnector
   token = ''                      # Personal Access Token
   vehicle_id = ''                 # Vehicle ID
   drone = DroneApiConnector(token,vehicle_id, ip_address='localhost',wait_for_drone_response =True)
   # Initialize the drone's connection`
   drone.connect()
   print("Taking Off")
   drone.takeoff(5)
   print("Drawing square with side = 5")
   drone.set_local_position(x=5, y=0, z=0, body_frame=True)
   drone.set_local_position(x=0, y=5, z=0, body_frame=True)
   drone.set_local_position(x=-5, y=0, z=0,body_frame=True)
   drone.set_local_position(x=0, y=-5, z=0,body_frame=True)
   drone.land()
   #disconnect the drone
   drone.disconnect()
   

   Demo App 2: This demo app make the robot takeoff, and hover, then print the voltage, current and remaining battery percentage.

   from flyt_python.flyt_python import DroneApiConnector
   token = ''          # Personal Access Token
   vehicle_id = ''     # Vehicle ID
   
   drone = DroneApiConnector(token,vehicle_id, ip='localhost',wait_for_drone_response =True)
   
   # Initialize the drone's connection
   drone.connect()
   
   print("Taking Off")
   drone.takeoff(5)
   
   print("Getting Battery Status")
   
   battery_status = drone.get_battery_status()
   print("Voltage: ", battery_status['voltage'])
   print("Current: ", battery_status['current'])
   print("Remaining Battery Percentage: ", battery_status['remaining'])
   
   #disconnect the drone
   drone.disconnect()
