Connect to a Parrot drone.

parrotObj = parrot('Mambo')
parrotObj = 
          parrot with properties:

                    Name: "Mambo"
                      ID: "Mambo_564853"
                   State: "landed"
            BatteryLevel: 50%
        AvailableCameras: ["FPV"]

Use the parrot object to initiate takeoff of the Parrot drone.

takeoff(parrotObj)

While the Parrot drone is in flight, move the drone downwards for the default duration of 0.5 seconds.

movedown(parrotObj);

Connect to a Parrot drone.

parrotObj = parrot('Mambo')
parrotObj = 
          parrot with properties:

                    Name: "Mambo"
                      ID: "Mambo_564853"
                   State: "landed"
            BatteryLevel: 50%
        AvailableCameras: ["FPV"]

Use the parrot object to initiate takeoff of the Parrot drone.

takeoff(parrotObj)

While the Parrot drone is in flight, move the drone down for 2 seconds.

movedown(parrotObj,2);

Connect to a Parrot drone.

parrotObj = parrot('Mambo')
parrotObj = 
          parrot with properties:

                    Name: "Mambo"
                      ID: "Mambo_564853"
                   State: "landed"
            BatteryLevel: 50%
        AvailableCameras: ["FPV"]

Use the parrot object to initiate takeoff of the Parrot drone.

takeoff(parrotObj)

While the Parrot drone is in flight, move the drone down for 2 seconds at a speed of 1 m/s.

movedown(parrotObj,2,1);
