4.  Running the program

4.1  Make sure your PC is connected to the 
Wi-Fi of the drone Nanopix <number> 
(default password 12345678)

4.3  To run the script press green Play button:

6

4.2  Example from the file blink.py will make the 
front LED of the drone blink:

To stop the script while it’s running press the 
STOP button.

During 1-2 seconds after you press it, the 
drone will start the automatic landing (if it was 
in the air), independent from if there was a 
program running previously.
