我可以使用DJI Drone模拟器测试Windows 10应用程序的DJI SDK，而不必运行真正的DJI Drone吗？

Question

Can I test my DJI SDK for Windows 10 application with a DJI Drone simulator without the risk of running a real DJI Drone?

I am asking since it is cumbersome to have developers run a real drone in their office to test what they are building.

Answer 1

You can set your drone in a simulator mode using the APIs.

This will make your drone respond as if it was flying, but the motors won't turn on. After that, you can use the DJI Assistant to visualize the aircraft moving in a simulated 3D environment.

Answer 2

There are 2 ways to test applications but both require a physical drone.

1) Download and install the PC Simulator; this is a game-engine that connects the PC (USB) to a drone and displays the flight operations. It is available online under the developer downloads.

2) Using the API, you can enable simulator. This method is not as good because you cannot see in real-time what the aircraft is doing unless you receive and display flight details within your app.

Both act the same to the PC simulator can be easier to evaluate and observe the flight operation.
