## Methods
### Send a Command to the Drone
```python
drone.cmd(command)

You can send a command like up 99 to the drone with drone.cmd()

Command

Required. The Command to send to the drone.

Takeoff

drone.takeoff()

Auto takeoff

Land

drone.land()

Auto landing.

Set Speed

drone.setSpeed(speed)

Set the speed of the drone in cm/s.

Speed

Required. The Speed to set. Has to be between 10 and 100.

Fly up

drone.up(distance)

Distance

Required. The distance to ascend in cm. Has to be between 20 and 500.

Fly down

drone.down(distance)

Distance

Required. The distance to descend in cm. Has to be between 20 and 500.

Fly forward

drone.forward(distance)

Distance

Required. The distance to fly forward in cm. Has to be between 20 and 500.

Fly backward

drone.backward(distance)

Distance

Required. The distance to fly backward in cm. Has to be between 20 and 500.

Fly right

drone.right(distance)

Distance

Required. The distance to fly right in cm. Has to be between 20 and 500.

Fly left

drone.left(distance)

Distance

Required. The distance to fly left in cm. Has to be between 20 and 500.

Make a Flip

drone.flip(direction)

Direction

Required. The flip direction. Has to be r (for right), l (for left), f (for forward) or b (for backward).

Rotate

drone.rotate(direction, degrees)

Direction

Required. The rotating direction. Can be cw (for clockwise) or ccw (for counterclockwise)

Degrees

Required. The number of degrees to rotate. Has to be between 1 and 360.

MissionPad Registrator (MPR)

drone.MPR()

Starts the MissionPad Registrator in a new Thread. This is a Function for registrating MissionPads in both directions (forward and downward). When a MissionPad is found, it will be added to drone.missionpads (Dictionary). drone.missionpads will look like that:

{
        "1":
            {
                "x-position": 0
                "y-position": 0
                "z-position": 0
            }
        "8":
            {
                "x-position": 5
                "y-position": -3
                "z-position": 12
            }
        }

If no MissionPad has been found, this dictionary will be empty. You should be able to send other Commands to the drone while MPR is looking for MissionPads. Every time a new MissionPad has been found, a Text with the ID and the x-, y- and z-position will be printed to the Shell.

Fly to a MissionPad

drone.goToMP(mid[, speed=100])

You have to start MPR to use this Method. If the MissionPad isn't registrated in drone.missionpads, a Exception will raise.

Mid

Required. The ID of the Mission Pad.

Speed

Optional. The speed to fly to thy MissionPad. Default is 100.
