Motor values APM2.6 data logging

Posted by iyad on January 2, 2015 at 9:00am

when logging the data from APM , i get a lot of variables like (IMU, Gyro, etc..)

what does the motor values indicate ? to be more precise , is the number in the chart mean current drawn by the motor ? or (pwm) voltage or what exactly ?

would appreciate the help .

    It's microseconds. It's Pulse width modulation. You have a variable on pulse of 1000us to 2000us. Typically it's 1100 to 1900 max.
