Are there any tutorials or any documentation for setting up a drone?

So, I've built a few programs here and there for OpenComputers (using the FTB - Beyond modpack) and I got curious about the drones. Started fiddling with them and quickly realized I was over my head. I've watched some tutorials here and there, read some posts from every corner of the internet and can not, for the life of me get the drone to do anything. Are there any tutorials anywhere on the internet that are up to date? Thanks in advance!

Check out the "What's available" section in the link for the default environment available at the eeprom level. Remember drone don't have a file system and thus booting open os into them isn't possible( hard to do..).

You won't have access to libs like the event lib. You will have access to raw component libs though.

I have gotten a drone to take off, and hover in one spot by flashing an empty "init.lua" to the drone. How do I move the drone? I've seen in several tutorials to use "drone.move()" but it just returns nil.

If you look on oppm there is a file called drone sort. Download that and look through the code. That should give you some idea on how to work with them.

This is the video I used when drones first came out, the interactive prompt makes it very easy to experiment
