"Thanks, Michael.
A related question: is it possible to add microseconds to the full timestamp in the CSV log? For example, I got three packets in the same real-time second:
3/17/2013 12:37:41 PM,FE,1C,1B, 1,…"

Latest log file formats?

Hi. I need to process log files. I had been told before that .tlog files were based on QGroundControl format, but looking at one, it does not seem to contain valid data. That is, the first 8 bytes do…Continue

I've tried two different browsers, but while I can compose a PM to one of my friends, I can't actually send it. Anyone else seeing this?Continue
APM2 GPS reported wrong position
Started Aug 1, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
We were flying the UAV today, when all of a sudden it went way off course. After investigating, we determined that the GPS was reporting the location wrong, indicating it was 500 m or more to the…Continue

Hi. I need to process log files. I had been told before that .tlog files were based on QGroundControl format, but looking at one, it does not seem to contain valid data. That is, the first 8 bytes do not seem to be a valid timestamp, there is no 0x55, and no further explanation of the file format.Can anyone describe the converted CSV format? I used the version of APM Mission Planner uploaded yesterday to convert our .tlog files to CSV, and have lines like this I want to parse:3/17/2013 12:37:41…See More

Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"Ah, so there are fuel cells that use propane directly. I didn't realize that. Wonder where I can score one…
For sure, there will be batteries involved. We might design a complete power management system (I'm an EE by training) to…"
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"Sure, it's fuel, but it's not internal combustion, with all its attendant issues (weight, noise, vibration, need for a generator, etc.). Plus, the fuel cell is just cooler. Maybe we can put one (or more) of these Horizon Fuel…"
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"Simon, I wanted to talk to you about your fuel cell. We're planning a very long endurance flight, and were thinking we'd have to switch to gas. If you can do 10 hours with a fuel cell…we'd like to do 20."
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"3.96 kg, if I recall correctly (including a 96 g GoPro HD 2 in the nose, required for CG as well :-) )."
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"We also had to put the batteries very far forward. We ended up with all the avionics in the back (except for the telemetry radio and airspeed sensor). We ran power cables pretty far. Didn't have any issues at all, although telemetry range…"
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"Start with calm wind. The X8 flies very well on default settings."
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"Unfortunately, we had grown complacent in our UAV's reliability. We've done a dozen flights without incident, and so weren't paying very close attention to the telemetry showing the gradual descent. Even if we had had a joystick,…"
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"We have our batteries very far forward, and even so we have to fly with a GoPro camera in the very front.
Sadly, our UAV decided to fly into SF bay over the weekend. We had telemetry all the way down. We had to buy a cheap inflatable boat and…"
Rick M commented on Alexander LeBrun's blog post ArduPilot Purple + Skywalker X8 + FPV = Summer Loving"We're flying our X8 at 4kg total weight, with an E-flite Power 32 motor, Castle ICE 75 Lite ESC, 4x 5000 mAh 4S packs in parallel, 13 x 6 folding prop.
We put a GoPro on one wing tip today; it was too much weight, and we did not have…"
Darren Stan Oakley replied to Rick M's discussion Configuring Battery Monitor"Yeah my mistake mate. I hadn't looked at the picture properly. For some reason I thought the two Xs where the pins to use but now can see its the 5volt pins you dont use. Sorry."
Rick M replied to Rick M's discussion Configuring Battery Monitor"APM 1 or 2? They're correct on APM 2, for sure."
