Camera gimbal control in Drone Programming - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set the gimbal pitch angle to 30 degrees.

Drone Programming

gimbal.set_pitch([1])

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using an angle value that is too large or too small.

Confusing pitch with yaw or roll.

The gimbal pitch angle is set by passing the desired angle in degrees to the set_pitch method. Here, 30 degrees is the correct value.

medium

Complete the code to smoothly move the gimbal yaw to 90 degrees.

Drone Programming

gimbal.move_yaw([1], speed=10)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pitch or roll values instead of yaw.

Setting the angle to 0 which points forward.

The move_yaw method moves the gimbal horizontally. Setting it to 90 degrees points the camera to the right side.

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly set the gimbal roll angle to 15 degrees.

Drone Programming

gimbal.set_roll([1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the angle as a string like '15'.

Using a variable name that is not defined.

The set_roll method expects a numeric value without quotes. Using 15 as an integer is correct.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of gimbal angles for pitch and yaw.

Drone Programming

angles = {'pitch': [1], 'yaw': [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping pitch and yaw values.

Using angles outside the typical range.

The dictionary stores the pitch angle as 30 and the yaw angle as 90 degrees.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set pitch, yaw, and roll angles in the gimbal control dictionary.

Drone Programming

gimbal_angles = {'pitch': [1], 'yaw': [2], 'roll': [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up the order of angles.

Using string values instead of numbers.

The dictionary sets pitch to 30, yaw to 45, and roll to 15 degrees, which are common gimbal angles.
