☑ Set up PyCharm Edu for CoDrone Mini
Now let's get your environment set up so we can do a quick test run.

☑ Run the test program
Plug in your controller to your device and turn on your CoDrone Mini.
Okay! We're going to run some simple take off and land test code. Make sure you've got some space, and that there's nothing fragile nearby! Here's some code to just copy and paste into your file to run.
import CoDrone_mini
drone = CoDrone_mini.CoDrone()
drone.pair()
drone.takeoff()
drone.hover(3)
drone.land()
