If you got bored with flying Dji Ryze Tello and you would like something more than the official application offers, then try ours. In a very simple way, you will be able to program your drone. He will execute your instructions exactly. Step by step according to your diagram, the drone will do whatever you want. You can choose: - move left, right, forward and back by the set value, - rotation from 5 to 360 degrees to the left or right, - change flight altitude*, - flips in different directions*, - change flight speed*, - idle state, go to step*. You can save* created diagrams or send them to friends who can test them on they own Tello. The number of steps is unlimited *. The created commands can be edited, deleted and reordered using the "drag and drop" method. Our application does not require any programming skills. Everything takes place in a user-friendly interface that you will master very quickly. In the application, you can use metric (cm) or imperial (inch) units. All commands are based on the official Ryze Tech SDK. * applies to the PRO version that can be unlocked inside the application.

Read full description

CNC Lathe Simulator is a software simulator of a numerical control lathe is an educational methodological development intended for basic familiarization of novice machine building specialists with the principles of programming parts turning operations using standard G-code (ISO). The three-dimensional simulation model is based on a lathe with an inclined bed, equipped with a CNC system, a twelve-position turret head, a three-jaw chuck, a tailstock, a system for supplying lubricating and cooling liquid, and other units. The material is processed along two controlled axes. Field of application of the software product: educational process using computer technology: laboratory lessons of students in computer classes, distance learning, demonstration support of lecture material in the group of areas of training and specialties: «Metallurgy, Engineering and Material Processing». The main functions of the application: editing the code of control programs of a lathe, operations with control program files, setting up geometric parameters of a cutting tool, continuous/step-by-step execution of control program blocks, three-dimensional visualization of tool movements in the machine’s workspace, simplified visualization of the workpiece surface, calculation of processing modes, a brief reference guide on using G-code. https://sunspire.site/terms_of_service.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: TELLO at Free against CNC Lathe Simulator's $6.99. TELLO also leads on ratings volume (92 vs 14) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). CNC Lathe Simulator's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 2.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
