Connect to a Parrot drone.

parrotObj = parrot('Mambo')
parrotObj = 
          parrot with properties:

                    Name: "Mambo"
                      ID: "Mambo_564853"
                   State: "landed"
            BatteryLevel: 50%
        AvailableCameras: ["FPV"]

Use the parrot object to initiate takeoff of the Parrot drone.

takeoff(parrotObj)

While the Parrot drone is in flight, move the drone forward for the default duration of 0.5 seconds.

moveforward(parrotObj);

Connect to a Parrot drone.

parrotObj = parrot('Mambo')
parrotObj = 
          parrot with properties:

                    Name: "Mambo"
                      ID: "Mambo_564853"
                   State: "landed"
            BatteryLevel: 50%
        AvailableCameras: ["FPV"]

Use the parrot object to initiate takeoff of the Parrot drone.

takeoff(parrotObj)

While the Parrot drone is in flight, move the drone forward for 5 seconds.

moveforward(parrotObj,5);

Connect to a Parrot drone.

parrotObj = parrot('Mambo')
parrotObj = 
          parrot with properties:

                    Name: "Mambo"
                      ID: "Mambo_564853"
                   State: "landed"
            BatteryLevel: 50%
        AvailableCameras: ["FPV"]

Use the parrot object to initiate takeoff of the Parrot drone.

takeoff(parrotObj)

While the Parrot drone is in flight, move the drone forward for 5 seconds at an angle of 0.7854 radians.

moveforward(parrotObj,5,deg2rad(45));
