GENERAL & MINI DRONE TABS IN FTW CODE
Code Hopper
On the left side of FTW CODE, there are a series of tabs to select. Let’s take a look at the General tab.

When you code, you’ll always need a Program Start block to put your code inside of. This block simply executes your code when you press RUN.
There are other blocks that you can use that include blocks to stop your program, as well as to execute code when a certain key is pressed.
You can also use a block of code that stalls the program flow for a desired amount of time, as well as a block to completely reset the drone (stopping the motors completely).
There is also a print block, which prints text on the console.
Under the Mini Drone tab, there are subtabs Actions, Events, and Values.

When you click on the Actions tab, you can select:

take off Mini Drone to take off the drone.
land Mini Drone to lower and land the drone.
hover Mini Drone to hover the drone in place for a second.
cutoff Mini Drone to stop the drone’s motors and drop.
fly Mini Drone ____ for seconds at % power to fly the drone forward, backward, right, left, up, or down, which is controlled by a certain time and percentage of power.
set Mini Drone ____ to __% to adjust the pitch, yaw, roll, and altitude of the mini drone by a certain percentage.
rotate Mini Drone __ degrees ____ to rotate the drone clockwise or counterclockwise at a given degree angle relative to where the drone is facing.
When you click on the Events tab, you can select:
when Mini Drone state is ____ to allow the code to be in a state of checking whether the condition is true (whether the drone is in a state of flying or landed), in which you can execute a block of code inside it.
when Mini Drone crashes to allow the code to be constantly checking whether the drone has crashed or not.
When you click on the Values tab, you can select:
get Mini drone battery level to return the value of the drone’s battery level, which can be used in print blocks or other math, loop, or logic blocks.
Mini Drone is ____ to check and return whether the drone is in a state of flying or landing.
