DJI Unveils Mobile SDK 3.0: A Game Changer for Developers
The DJI Dev Team is excited to announce the launch of Mobile SDK 3.0, a significant leap forward in the world of aerial platform development. This updated SDK is designed to revolutionize the way developers interact with DJI’s aerial hardware, thanks to a comprehensive overhaul based on insights gathered from the developer community.
Intuitive Features for Enhanced Control
Mobile SDK 3.0 introduces an advanced architecture that simplifies the complexities of aerial application development. With intuitive interfaces and well-structured documentation, developers can more easily engage with the SDK. Notably, the introduction of MissionManager consolidates various high-level missions into a single, accessible feature, while the CustomMission capability allows developers to craft and tailor their own flight missions. This innovative approach requires just a few lines of code to execute intricate flight behaviors, enabling developers to extend beyond the pre-defined Intelligent Flight Missions DJI currently offers.
Innovative Solutions with Bridge App and Remote Logger
One of the standout features in this SDK iteration is the introduction of the Bridge App and Remote Logger specifically designed for iOS developers. These tools address a longstanding challenge by facilitating simultaneous connections to multiple devices, such as a remote controller and a computer. By leveraging a wireless network, the Bridge App allows for seamless debugging, profiling, and logging, greatly enhancing both lab and field testing experiences for developers.
Empowering Developers: Removal of Developer Levels
DJI is striving to make aerial application development more accessible than ever. With the elimination of Developer Levels, the barriers to entry have been significantly reduced. This change enables a broader range of developers to experiment and innovate without restrictive access requirements, paving the way for the next generation of aerial applications.
Engage with the Community
In line with their commitment to continuous improvement, the DJI Dev Team encourages developers to share feedback and report bugs through the DJI Developer Forums (http://forum.dev.dji.com/en) or via email at dev@dji.com. Developers are also urged to stay updated by frequently checking the Downloads page for the latest version of the DJI SDK (https://developer.dji.com/mobile-sdk/downloads/).
With the launch of Mobile SDK 3.0, DJI aims to empower developers by providing them with an arsenal of tools necessary for crafting enormously impactful applications and fostering dynamic drone ecosystems. This release signifies one more step closer to unveiling a future replete with innovation and creativity in aerial technology.
