So the CoDrone itself isn't where code downloads to, it's simply receiving commands. If you're programming in Snap, you're actually sending live commands to the drone as you run the program. If you're programming in Arduino, you're downloading the code to the Smart Inventor board (which is our custom Arduino), which communicates your code to the CoDrone via Bluetooth (BLE). The code is downloaded to the board via a USB cable. Hope that answers your question!

Yes of course, here is the video showing one how to upload the default program https://youtu.be/K4A2bkAxh3Y

Oh! I saw your e-mail as well, and looks like that's what I fixed earlier today! I'll mark this as solved.

The CoDrone has a camera module, which is an additional add-on. You can find that here. There isn't an easy way to save the images to an SD card. But it will stream to a smartphone using the Petrone app, which is our partner's mobile app that can be used purely for flying the drone. The maximum distance that the IR height distance sensor is 2000 mm. From our tests, I'd recommend 1500 mm to be safe. The Smart Inventor would need an additional board to do WiFi or Zigbee connection. This is how we use it in the CoDrone setup, where we use the BLE board for it to have BLE connection. Hopefully that answers all your questions! Let me know if you have additional ones.

Thanks @robolink_wes @robolink_grace - email sent. Am very impressed with customer service so far! Brilliant!

@dracen As of right now there isn't a way to disable the link event state it is done by default. Nothing is wrong with your CoDrone code, however once the new update is published along with the tutorials, accessing the data will be easier in Arduino.

The CoDrone requires a 3.7volt LiPo battery, 4.7 volts is above the max voltage of the battery we provide which is 4.2 volts. This could potentially damage the Drone circuit and will void the warranty.

Yes indeed! It is absolutely fine to use rechargeable batteries for the remote. We do so all the time, especially with the classes we teach and schools we visit.

Thanks so much for your detailed response, @Loui2! @robolink_arnold mentioned your responses are all excellent.

Hello, the website pages seems to be constantly being updated (that's a good thing!), so if your Rokit Smart included some paper instructions with a specific link then it may be outdated. I believe you can get started using this link: https://basecamp.robolink.com/cwists/category#products=[3]&selected_sort_by=alphabetical I found this link by: Going to the website (https://www.robolink.com/) Putting the mouse over "Learn" and a drop down menu should appear Clicking "Learn Rokit Smart" Clicking "START LEARNING AT BASECAMP" Hope it helps!

@loui2 You are awesome!

Hello, I attempted to answer your question in your other thread/topic located here: https://forum.robolink.com/topic/67/install Ill be copying & pasting my answer from there since your question seems to be the same: " Hello, the website pages seems to be constantly being updated (that's a good thing!), so if your Rokit Smart included some paper instructions with a specific link then it may be outdated.

Hi @ynakanishi , all you have to do is rename the file and add .xml to the file . Example "flight" rename "flight.xml"

@johnnytechknow Definitely add buzzers for debugging. Especially use them inside of if statements to verify where the drone is in the code.

Hi @robolink_hansol yes the code to program a passive infrared sensor can be seen below. If you come up with any cool projects please feel free to share #include <SmartInventor.h> int PIR_Pin = 27; bool bodyPresent = 0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(PIR_Pin, INPUT); } void loop() { bodyPresent = digitalRead(PIR_Pin); if(bodyPresent) { Serial.println("Body Detected"); SmartInventor.Buzz(200, 8); } else { Serial.println("No movement detected"); } }

@karthikeyan Hello, so you can adjust the speed using the IR remote controller. Use the top left and right buttons to adjust the speed of the truck bot. The Leds on the top of the SmartInventor board will indicate what speed level it is set at. Let me know if this solves the issue you are facing.

@rickman30 If your board is not on the list you may not have installed the board files. Please do so by doing the following: Download and install Rokit Arduino add-on files Before you can start using the Smart Inventor Board with the Arduino IDE, you'll need to download the Rokit add-on files. Click here to do that! Unzip the compressed file named “rokitarduinov1-0-9-1”. Run the Arduino IDE. Click the "File" tab. Go to "Preferences." Click the "Browse" button to find and select the folder where you unzipped “rokitarduinov1-0-9-1”. Exit out of Arduino and then reopen it. Click on the "Tools" tab and select the board you are using. If you're not sure which one you have, look on the front of your Smart Inventor Board and check the green sticker. For example, if your board says "Smart Inventor V2," you should select "Rokit-SmartInventor-mega32_V2".

Hi there @johnnytechknow! You're currently on the phone with @arnold_robolink, but I wanted to link you to the lesson that includes a killswitch in the loop() function. But as he said, when the drone goes up to the ceiling, what's happening is a suction force that keeps it stuck on the ceiling. Throttling down won't be strong enough to make it descend in this case, so having a killswitch is always key. You'll need to put the killswitch in the loop() function of your Arduino code, so that it's constantly checking for input. I'll post the code here, and also link you to the lesson on Basecamp. void loop () { /* Start of the kill switch*/ byte bt8 = digitalRead(18); byte bt4 = digitalRead(14); byte bt1 = digitalRead(11); if(bt1 && bt4 && !bt8){ CoDrone.FlightEvent(Stop); } /*end of kill switch*/ } @arnold_robolink if there's anything I've missed, please supplement with anything else.

@magnus Sure thing, you can get a hold of Snap here: Installing CoDrone Snap

@cariwilliamz I have a class to teach at 1pm today and Friday I’m out of the office but I will be available Thursday 10am-5pm PST?
