Tutorial 00: Random Fly

In this tutorial, we will show you how to use VIVID Python API to control your drone.
Suppose you have selected a scene and Vivid Drone as your vehicle:

Let's do a random fly first. First, make sure you have Python installed in your environment.

$ git clone https://github.com/kuanting/vivid.git
$ pip install msgpack-rpc-python   ### install Python RPC library
$ cd python_example/00_random_fly/
$ python random_fly.py

The drone will start to fly frenziedly.

The source code of random_fly.py is provided below. First we use VividClient to connect to our environment: client = VividClient(ip="127.0.0.1", port=16612)

Then we use moveByDistance() to fly our drone, isHit() to check if the drone has hit an obstacle, and turnByDegree() to make random turns when we hit an obstacle.
