Software Programming

Click “Advanced” in the MakeCode drawer to see more choices.

For programming, we need to add a package: click “Extensions” at the bottom of the MakeCode drawer and search with “https://github.com/elecfreaks/pxt-Dronebit” in the dialogue box to download it.

Notice: If you met a tip indicating that some codebases would be deleted due to incompatibility, you may continue as the tips say or create a new project in the menu.

Program

Notice: It is suggested to pause for 2 seconds or longer after triggering the take-off command to make sure the operator run away from the drones in case of any hurting accidents.

Result

The micro:bit Drone:bit Kit takes off and hovers for 10 seconds, then it lands to the ground.

FAQ

Notice: For better locating of the drones, a complicated groud is prefered. If the groud is in single color, the drones might not locate them well.

移动端LiteBee下载

安卓用户可在华为、百度、腾讯和360应用市场搜索LiteBee，苹果用户在APPStore搜索LiteBee，加载应用即可。
打开软件，点击Litebee Wing可以直接进入操控界面；
掌上端操控基于WiFi通信，支持操控和图像传输；连接WiFi：“LiteBee Wing_XXXX”，密码为12345678。

手机界面图

LiteBee Go地址下载

浏览器地址输入 http://www.litebee.com ，在“产品中心”选择“LiteBee Wing”，进入软件下载界面获取LitebeeGo。

安装完成

找到下载的安装包，右键以管理身份运行安装程序。




安装过程有杀毒软件，或者系统提示什么不安全，这个是正常，请放心，允许其安装即可。
选择电脑一个默认的位置安装即可，尽可能安装在英文目录下，中文目录软件有时候会出现奇怪问题或者报错。

LiteBee Wing软件使用

在安装软件过程中会自动安装相关驱动，在编程工具栏“机型”中选择对应的产品，在此选择LiteBee Wing进入到编程界面。
LiteBeeWing编程有两种方式。
其一，通过遥控器编程；
1）遥控器开机；
2）通过micro数据线把遥控器接入到电脑USB端口;
3）点击工具栏中“选择串口”选中识别的端口号（常见端口号COM3）,点击“连接遥控”，连接成功将提示“已连接遥控”;
4）遥控器按下中间的“0”开启在线模式；

以上，Litebee Wing开机状态下就可以进行编程操作，如果步骤不正确请按照提示信息操作。

其二，通过WIFI连接编程（要求电脑支持无线网）；
1)遥控器开机；
2)电脑搜索无线ID为LiteBee Wing_XXXX的设备;
3)点击工具栏中“连接WIFI”建立电脑与飞机的通信;

关于美国手（MODE2，左手油门）日本手（MODE1 右手油门）的操控切换有两种方式可以切换
其一，通过电脑刷写固件切换操作模式,此方式适用于遥控器固件升级。
1)遥控器关机；
2)通过micro数据线把遥控器接入到电脑USB端口;
3)点击工具栏中“选择串口”选中识别的端口号（常见端口号COM3），此时不要点击连接；
4)点击工具栏中“帮助”选择需要写入的模式固件（美国手（MODE2，左手油门）日本手（MODE1 右手油门））;
5)根据提示“先断开USB连接，关闭遥控器，重新接入USB”把USB接入电脑，接入之后进入程序烧录模式；
6)烧录进度条读完提示更新完成，同时遥控器蜂鸣器鸣叫提示。断开USB连接，关闭提示窗口即完成。

常见问题及解决办法

1. 问：电机不转问题？
答：检查电机接线是否可靠；检查电机线是否脱落；桨叶是否过压卡住电机；用手拨动电机检查是否存在较大阻尼，若存在电机已经损坏，需要及时更换电机。

2. 问：不能正常起飞？
答：A2:检查电机安装端子插线；检查电池电量；飞行前请校准飞行器。

3. 问：LiteBee Go编程不能识别遥控器？
答：首次使用需要在LliteBeeGo中安装遥控器驱动，安装完成选择的通讯端口要与设备管理器中识别设备端口保持一致。

4. 问：遥控器怎样从美国手切换日本手？
答：将遥控器通过数据线连接到电脑，在LiteBeeGo软件可以为遥控器下载日本手遥控器程序。

5. 问：编程积木无人机出现高频率射桨？
答：更换新的螺旋桨叶。

6. 问：编程积木无人机还可以负载多少重量？
答：建议在10g以内。
