A Python package to control Drones that run the MultiWii Protocol.

• Drona Aviation Pluto

First install the package from pip

pip install pyMultiWii

Import the Library in your Python Program

import pyMultiWii

Create an object to the class pyMultiWii

myDrone=pyMultiWii.pyMultiWii(IP, PORT)

The IP and the PORT parameters are specific to drones, but most common values are 192.168.4.1 and 23 respectively, for ESP8266 based Wifi Drones.

myDrone=pyMultiWii.pyMultiWii('192.168.4.1', 23)

You can enable some basic debugging by adding a third parameter above, set to True

myDrone=pyMultiWii.pyMultiWii('192.168.4.1', 23, True)

If you experience lagging and erratic behavior, set the third variable to False or ignore it completely in the above statement.

Once a successful connection is made, you need to arm the drone. Most drones will arm with throttle set to 0%, to prevent the drone from flying immediately. Using the myDrone object, you can set throttle to 0% and arm the drone as follows.

myDrone.setThrottle(1000) //1000 by default is lowest range of the throttle
myDrone.arm()

The drone once armed, is ready to fly. Caution: Please fly responsibly and outdoors, away from people and pets.

Increase Thottle

The Throttle values on MultiWii systems range from the range [1000, 2000]. The 1000 value is the lower range. Get the drone to fly by setting a value here

myDrone.setThrottle(1050)// Just spinning the motors

or let it hover a little

myDrone.setThrottle(1200)// Increase Throttle

Change Pitch

The Pitch values on MultiWii systems range from the range [1200, 1800]. The 1200 value is the lower range. Get the drone to Pitch forward and back by setting a value here

myDrone.setPitch(1550)

Change Roll

The Roll values on MultiWii systems range from the range [1200, 1800]. The 1200 value is the lower range. Get the drone to Roll left and right back by setting a value here

myDrone.setRoll(1300)

Change Yaw

The Yaw values on MultiWii systems range from the range [1000, 2000]. The 1000 value is the lower range. Get the drone to Yaw by setting a value here

myDrone.setYaw(1200)
