The CoDrone Lite includes the CoDrone itself and the Bluetooth (BLE) board that allows your computer to communicate with the CoDrone. Coding is done using block coding in Biockly. Also now available, you can do text-based coding in Python.
The CoDrone Pro is the same drone as CoDrone Lite, but includes a buildable remote that allows you to expand into Ardino.Text-based coding is done in the Arduino coding environment, or can be done in Python in the CoDrone Lite setup.
