Macro

Introduction

The VEX AIR Drone includes prebuilt macros—groups of commands bundled into reusable code sequences.

Below is a list of available macros:

• navigate to heading – Moves the drone to the specified x, y, and z coordinates, then orients the drone to the desired heading.

Actions

navigate to heading

This set of methods moves the drone to the specified x, y, and z coordinates, then orients the drone to the desired heading.

Parameters	Description
x	The new x coordinate to move to. The default is 0.
y	The new y coordinate to move to. The default is 0.
z	The new z coordinate to move to. The default is 0.
heading	The heading to face at the end of the movement. This must be changed in both the move_for and turn_to methods.

# Navigate to heading
old_x = drone.get_x_position()
old_y = drone.get_y_position()
old_z = drone.get_z_position()
drone.move_for(math.sqrt((x-old_x)**2 + (y-old_y)**2), heading, 0, wait=False)
drone.climb_for(UP, z-old_z, 0, wait=False)
drone.turn_to(heading, 0, wait=False)

while not drone.is_hovering():
    if drone.range.get_distance(FORWARD_RANGE) < 300:
        drone.hover()
    wait(20,MSEC)
