The CLI Log won't log "CURRENT"

Posted by Dan Gray on June 27, 2012 at 3:57pm

Hi all,

I was looking here:

http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_datalog

and found I should be able to log the CURRENT if I have a current sensor (which I do), and if it's enabled (which it is).  In config under "Battery Monitor", it says: "4: Volts & Current".  The battery voltage and % remaining seem to be working fine.

Using the CLI in the logs menu, I can enable and disable any parameter such as "MOTORS", "ATTITUDE_MED", etc, but "CURRENT" doesn't seem to be one of them.  I'm using firmware 2.5.5

Can anybody help?

I would REALLY like to be able to log the current, AND also, see it in mission commander.

I need it in the log files for my new APMLogVisualizer software I'm working on:

    HA!

    I just figured out an "undocumented" solution.  I typed "ENABLE ALL" just for fun, and EVERYTHING became enabled.  I then disabled other parameters I didn't need, and everything is fine.

    "Current" is now one of the logging parameters, however, I am not able to disable it by typing "DISABLE CURRENT", it remains enabled.

    But at least I can proceed....
