I. Brief Intro The python programming in LiteBeeGo can be applied for both LiteBee Wing and Ghost II, and it works with different modes such as drone only, obstacle avoiding, formation, and line tracking. Each Python instruction corresponds to the graphic code of scratch mode, and there will be an explanation when you input the relevant instructions. Details will be list in Chapter 3.

II. Basic operation and examples
1.Basic operation

Just as the picture shows, we can start LiteBeeGo and click “python” to enter the interface of Python. Connect the drone with the computer, then click "run" to execute the Python program

Hover the mouse on the “run” button to choose other operations such as Open, Save, and Stop. Attention, for easy to find and open, suffix it as “.py” when saving the file.
2.Example import time

Excepting formation, all the programming mode have to apply the “import time” to give a time for executing the mission.

For example:

 import time  				//Write “import time” in the first line
 litebeeWing_calibration()	//calibrate
 litebeeWing_takeOff()  	take off
 time.sleep(10)  			//wait 10s
 litebeeWing_autoland()		//land

Conditional and loop statement
Conditional and loop statement is needed when using these instructions, such as “if-elif-else”, “for”, “while”, here is an example:

import time							//import execution time
 litebeeWing_calibration()				//calibration
 time.sleep(5)							//wait 5s
 litebeeWing_takeOff()					//take off
 time.sleep(5)							//wait 5s
if litebeeWing_getVol() > 7.5:				//if litebee’s voltage >7.5v
   litebeeWing_setHigh([50])			//set the flight height as 50cm
while True:							//execute “while” loop
   if litebeeWing_getVol() < 7.2:			//if litebee’s voltage < 7.2v
       litebeeWing_autoLand()			//land
       break;						//break the loop

Formation example

When we program for a formation, we need to program for each drone; take a 2 drones formation as an example:

litebeeWingFormation_flightnum([1])		//program for drone No. 1
litebeeWingFormation_calibration([5])		//calibrate for 5s
litebeeWingFormation_takeOff([100,5])	        //fly to the height 100cm in 5s
litebeeWingFormation_code([10,5])		//move to QR code No.10 in 5s
litebeeWingFormation_RGB([1])			//red light on
litebeeWingFormation_autoLand()		//land

litebeeWingFormation_flightnum([2])		//program for drone No.2
litebeeWingFormation_calibration([5])		//calibrate for 5s
litebeeWingFormation_takeOff([100,5])	        //fly to the height 100cm in 5s
litebeeWingFormation_code([20,5])		//move to the QR code No. 20 in 5s
litebeeWingFormation_RGB([2])			//green light on
litebeeWingFormation_autoLand()		//land

litebeeWingFormation_missionSend()  	//send these mission to drones
time.sleep(3)							//wait 3 s
litebeeWingFormation_missionStart()		//start the mission

III. Instruction explanation Note: p1, p2, p3, p4 are the parameter after the instruction (from left to right). And those instructions without parameter can be use directly. litebeeWing_setDir([0, 10, 1, 20]) Set the drone to fly horizontally

1. p1: 0 - left; 1 - right
2. p2: 0 ~ 100 cm/s for left/right
