Keyboard Input/Events

[ealexander]

HI, When we (my class and I) use the keyboard input (when backspace key) and program it to use the up key to go, the drone does not respond. I wanted the kids to be able to program the keyboard to be able to control the drone but the only event/keyboard input that works is "land" and you have to press it about 5 times before it responds.

@ealexander What I recommend for any remote control code is to follow the lesson on Blockly. Using a loop and if statements usually have a better response time. Let me know if this works for you, and if you are still having issues I can set up a support call with you. The attached image shows what I was mentioning in the previous thread.

Even with the gray "when key press"blocks it still does not respond. Sometimes land responds after being pressed five times or more. This is very frustrating as we have spent $1500 plus more for our class drones and I don't feel like we are able to use them consistently. There always seems to more problem drones and only a couple of them work well. We bought 11 in total.

@ealexander Your go up command is in an isolated if statement that isn't connected to other blocks. Use the gray "when key press" block for your up command as well

yikes... my fault, sadly, I wasn't clear enough in my response as I'm used to Arduino or python code as I'm not familiar with the graphic type of development.

Please don't forget to also post your code, as it is hard to see exactly what you are trying to do, or what the problem is without the code.
