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 ...
