      Hello, I'm still a newbie at the CoDrone programming so this may be a simple question for others. What command can I use so the CoDrone will land softly?

      Thanks,
      Dorothy

        @dorothy306 @ealexander We have a land() function but as @ixmclean mentioned, you could also write a custom function where you decrease the throttle slowly until you are on the ground. Let me know if this works for you.

          unfortunately, there isn't a "land slowly/softly" function. If you are using the Arduino/python option for development, and distance is known (surface to drone) you can have it drop the throttle and descend on your own before telling it to land.

            @dorothy306 I wish I knew. They are landing hard and not responding to the keyboard commands. Because of this, I have to keep repairing the propellers which is driving up the operating cost.
