I would like to use scratch and python on my Mac to program my S1, is there a way to program on my mac and upload it to my S1? I know that you can accomplish it on a Windows computer, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can only do that from the app now and there is no app for MacOS so I guess the answer is no. You could potentially install Windows in a VM and use that or install Wine for Mac (and also run the Windows version in this case). Note I did try to run it it Wine under Linux without success.

Hello and good day ArchAngel OIF3. Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately the DJI Robomaster S1 is programmed and supported using a 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7, 8, and 10. Thank you.

Are there no plans to support Mac in the future? Is there not any other more low level interface that can be used to upload Python code from any device, independent on what OS it runs?

I am working on libraries to allow that. I can already connect to the S1 (the entire process from generating a QRCode that it can understand to getting a connection request form the robot and establishing the connection) I can still not control the robot (DJI likes encoding/encrypting everything with different encoding/encryption schemes everywhere. This is a pain) but one of my objects is to enable uploading of programs to the S1 without the need for the Robomaster app (also, the code will be multiplatform, Mac included).

Right now, you can at leat create a python program (that would work on the S1), encapsulate it in a dsp file with my codec (https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... D702%26typeid%3D702), mayl it to yourself and open the file in a phone that has the Robomaster App. The dsp file will be automatically imported.

For obvious reasons this is still not ideal but it allows you writing the code on any desktop at least.

I will soon have a new tutorial up @BGA. This will help you in your process. I've planned to post it today, but the forum software keeps telling me that there is "Inappropriate Content" in my post. Maybe in the word Assembly is too much "Ass", how knows...

Cheers

Good. Looking forward to it.

There is a Mac version of the S1 App on the DJI Robomaster downloads page. It works well so far.

Awesome work guys, great stuff!  

The tutorials will help attract more of us "advanced users" who really want to get at the bones of the S1 and do cool stuff we can all have fun with.
