Creating the classes that represent a drone


We will create as many classes as we will use to represent the different components of a drone. In a real-life example, these classes will interact with a library that interacts with sensors and actuators. In order to keep our example simple, we will make calls to time.sleep to simulate interactions that take some time to set or get values to and from sensors and actuators.

First, we will create a Hexacopter class that we will use to represent the hexacopter and a HexacopterStatus class that we will use to store status data for the hexacopter. Create a new drone.py file. The following lines shows all the necessary imports for the classes that we will create and the code that declares the Hexacopter and HexacopterStatus classes in the drone.py file. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_chapter_09_01 folder:

from random import randint 
from time import sleep 
 
 
class HexacopterStatus: 
    def __init__(self, motor_speed...
