Dataflash Log

Dear Friends

We made several test flights using the APM2.6 (Arduplaner 3.0.3 installed):

- Before each flight i deleted the logs memory (Using the USB connection to the APM)

-The Camera Card was erased before each flight.

-Just the plane landed i download the log or logs created in the APM memory.

-I´m using the plane to take aerial images for Mapping (A Sony Nex 5 is mounted inside the plane)

Several days ago i enabled the IMU logs.

The camera (CAM) Log is also enabled. (I´m using the APM shutter by distance capability)

The issue is the following:

The number of photographies in the Camera´s card  always is higher than the CAM events in the Log File.

Looks like the APM log memory capacity is too low to write all the logs corresponding to each shooting of the camera.

If i disable the innecesary logs (Like the IMU), could this increase the capacity to write more CAM logs?

Can i log the CAM events by Telemetry in the PC memory?

somebody knows how to increase the APM log´s memory size (Or optimize it?) ?

Thanks

  • Try turning off all the logs except CAM and GPS. You should have plenty of space then.
    I'm firing a NEX-7 every 12m for a :45 flight and had a very small .log file.

    Pixhawk has unlimited log capacity (since it uses micro SD cards), so if you're looking to log more data you might want to switch to that.
