Description

Returns current information about your drone.

Online

true if the drone’s datalink is active, false otherwise. Please note that this field represents the datalink between the drone and DS Link, the translator that communicates with the API. If, for instance, the online is false, this indicates that DS Link is communicating with the API, but the drone itself is not communicating with DS Link.

Armed

true if the drone’s motors are enabled to spin, 'false' if a drone’s motors are locked, preventing it from flying.

State

The drone’s current flight state. The following are a list of states:
“Initializing” - Drone is currently starting up.
“Calibrating” - Drone is in a calibration mode.
“Standby” - Drone is awaiting commands.
“Active” - Drone is armed and flying.
“Failsafe” - Drone encountered an error is performing a failsafe operation, such as an emergency landing.

VTOLMode

Applies the VTOL (Vertical takeoff / land) drones only. Indicates if the vehicle is operating as a fixed wing or multirotor vehicle, or transitioning between such.

InAir

true if the drone has not detected any surface. When the drone detects a surface below it, this setting is false.

Power

the drone’s current battery level as a percent. By default, the drone will enter a failsafe mode when the battery is below 17%. Virtual drones will simulate battery life, however, they will hold a drone’s power at 17% to avoid entering failsafe mode.
