Ran the installation of the beta version and all went well. Students used the basic commands with loops and flips and enjoyed the windows experience. Have had n success with the camera as all camera shots are blank at the moment though they have been saved to a drone blocks folder in pictures. The controls themselves seem to work really well though we have not delved into the maths area for the higher-order manoeuvres. The connection to the drone is immediate with no second connection inside the software needed. The year 8’s were excited. We will test further next week. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.droneblocks.io/t/droneblocks-desktop-for-windows-early-beta/289)._
