I would like to read sensor data (speed_x, speed_y, speed_z, speed_ts, altitude, and battery state variables) from a Parrot Swing via bluetooth while it is in flight, but the values for all state variables except for battery do not change.
I have modified the example "demoMamboTricks.py" (https://github.com/amymcgovern/pyparrot/blob/master/examples/demoMamboTricks.py) to work with my Swing instead of a Mambo, changed use_wifi to False since I am using bluetooth, and have added the following after each of the lines in "demoMamboTricks.py" that print the flying state (i.e., print("flying state is %s" % mambo.sensors.flying_state)) to print the state variable values while in flight:
print("flying state is %s" % mambo.sensors.flying_state)
mambo.ask_for_state_update()
mambo.smart_sleep(5)
print("battery is %s" % mambo.sensors.battery)
print("speed_x is %s" % mambo.sensors.speed_x)
print("speed_y is %s" % mambo.sensors.speed_y)
print("speed_ts is %s" % mambo.sensors.speed_ts)
print("altitude is %s" % mambo.sensors.altitude)
print("mambo.sensors_dict is: %s" % mambo.sensors.sensors_dict)
print("mambo.sensors is: %s" % mambo.sensors)
Note that "mambo" in the above is an instance of the Swing class, not the Mambo class (I just kept the name mambo from the original example). Anyways, when I run this code, the battery state variable is clearly changing (decreasing) each time I print mambo.sensors.battery during the flight, but speed_x, speed_y, speed_z, speed_ts, altitude do not change (speed_x, speed_y, speed_z, speed_ts are always 0 whereas altitude is always -1). Does anyone either know why this is or know of any changes I can make to be able to read off the actual values of speed_x, speed_y, speed_z, speed_ts, and altitude during flight? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
