After much discussion on the topic, DJI has finally released its Text-based Python SDK for the RoboMaster S1 and EP.

The URL for the GitHub Repository is https://github.com/dji-sdk/RoboMaster-SDK
The URL for the RoboMaster SDK Developer Page is https://robomaster-dev.readthedocs.io/zh_CN/latest/

All the documentation material, at this time, is only available in Chinese, but Google Translate does a pretty good job at providing a usable translation.
Also, although the material targets the RoboMaster EP, most examples were written to work with the RoboMaster S1.

The SDK is not accessible through the RoboMaster app Lab. It runs entirely independently of it.  To use the SDK, you will need to install Python 3.x on your computer. I typically run Python through Visual Studio Code or Anaconda, or directly from a Command window.

Enjoy!

Hello and good day rhoude57 - YUL. Thank you for reaching out and for sharing these information for the DJI Robomaster S1 with us. Great find and thank you for your valued support.

Does the text-based commands also work on S1? I tried on my S1 but can't connect to the ports mentioned in cthe doc.

It looks like DJI decided to keep messing with S1 owner's minds. They released the SDK, but there apparently is a software lock on the access to the SDK server running on the S1.
There is no word as to whether DJI plans to release either a Firmware update, which should have come out with the V1.1.0 apps and the SDK, or the "magic incantations" one must do to make the RMS1 do the SDK voodoo its supposed to do...
So frustrating...

I downloaded the SDK and tried to run the file direct_connection.py and it returns an ImportError: No module named queue. I was planning to look into the documentation but if there's a software lock, then there's no use in trying I suppose. How did you know that there's a software lock? What test confirmed that for you?

The topic of the Softawa Lock on the RoboMaster S1 is discussed in this thread.

Rumours Concerning a Pending RMS1 SDK Beta Release

In order to access the SDK, you must gain root access to the  Intelligent Controller processor.

Hello, can you tell me more detial?

The current S1 firmware does not include the SDK code at all. I am working on a way to get it back there but did not make much progress yet (other than confirming it is not there).

It seem awesome! But I hope DJI will bring it to S1 officialy

I wrote a Python SDK and programing framework for Robomaster EP: github.com/nanmu42/robomasterpy

It turns out TCP API and live video streaming does make Robomaster more fun. I built a "goalkeeper" with OpenCV: youtube.com/watch?v=PTECVzH8z48

The code is open sourced, too: github.com/nanmu42/robo-playground#make-your-robomaster-a-goalkeeper

Hope you guys like it.

I am sorry to make the URLs mess, but it seems that I am not permitted to post pretier URL.

Oh yes, the SDK really open things up. But until DJI officially release SDK support to the S1, it is useless to most of us.

boa noite , alguem sabe me dizer onde compro o braço robotico do robomaster s1?

There is no robotic arm for the S1. You most likely want the EP but it is only for sale in Asia.

s1无法通过tcp/udp协议访问，原因是s1拒绝了请求

if you have an S1 (not an EP), then this is by design. The SDK will not work on the S1 without a hack.

@BGA you say "... will not work on the S1 without a hack". Does this mean there is a hack to make it work?

Hello! I have an issue connecting the RoboMaster s1 with my PC I am using the SDK provided from DJI but it not working at all. The RoboMaster can connect with the mobile app but  not on the pc, is there someone who can help?

The S1 does not support the SDK without a hack.

please keep fighting for us, i recorded a lot of my friends voices to give the robot many skills using arc synthiam so it can have a personality and i havent been able to use sdk on it. not to be dramatic but, please be our saviour

I am sorry but I am not trying to get the SDK to work anymore. Apparently even DJI gave up on that (and on the S1/EP in general). I am now doing my own SDK.
