Here is another interesting feature available in the Windows PC RoboMaster S1 program... The Python IDE will autofill function names for you, either S1 functions or Python ones. These lists could serve as the basis for an unofficial RoboMaster S1 SDK User Manual for Python.

That's, eh, nice...  I noticed some of that on the app on my iPad Mini.

But really - the app is not the place to code.   C.L.U.N.K.Y.

Do yourself a huge favor early - download and install PyCharm.  Just do it, learn it, love it, and never go to no nothing else not no never.  Feel like a real developer...

Then copy and paste into the app.

In PyCharm, it has a built-in console for testing your programs - just comment out the S1 hardware specific command lines - and test away.

It even has git built-in and tracks all your changes - totally pro dude.

Ahh, this is heaven...  everything, and I mean everything, you could ask for in a Python IDE



PyCharm!

Thanks for the tip.  I'll try PyCharm.

It looks a little overwhelming at first, but just keep going through a few Tips every time you launch it, and soon you'll be saying "wow, yet another powerful feature to help me code" over and over...  If you get stuck, there is an intensive help system, and you can google up any issue and you'll find tons of help to get you going again.

First tip:  just hit a Shift key twice quickly to bring a menu that let's you quickly jump to any feature / keyword.

Thanks for pointing out PyCharm.

In Python, I typically work with the Anaconda Navigator and Jupyter Notebook running on a Ubuntu Virtual Machine. I use this configuration to connect and run Python scripts on my DJI Tello and Tello EDU drones.

Perhaps, in a not-so-distant future, I will be able to extend that interface to the RoboMaster S1.

Hello and good day. Thank you for sharing these informative information and tips. Have a safe driving and a happy programming always.

Thanks all!  On a related note, does anybody have a way to dump the Python API definition to take a look at it?  Playing around with the autocomplete, and looking at the conversion of the Scratch code to Python, but feels a little like I’m feeling my way around a room blindfolded.  Anybody else have any better luck?

The programming documentation shows the Scratch blocks, but also includes the Python API at the end of each entry:
