Add-On Required: This feature requires the MATLAB Support Package for Parrot Drones add-on.

Syntax

flip(parrotObj,direction)

Description

flip(parrotObj,direction) flips the Parrot® drone, represented by parrotObj, in the specified direction. This is a blocking call. In other words, MATLAB® blocks the command line until the current command runs to completion.

Note

The Parrot drone does not flip if the battery level is low. Check the drone's battery level before you use the function.
