1985: When does autonomous timing start?

1-Mar-2024

Does autonomous timing begin:

  1. When the Python code begins to execute
  2. Once the Python code has connected to the controller (~1.5s after start of execution)
  3. When the drone first starts to make actions (i.e. reading color sensor, spinning up props)

The one minute timer for an autonomous run will begin as soon as the programmer selects run on their program.
