Hey guys, hoping is just me doing something silly, but I am having problems downloading my log files after the recent Arduplane firmware update. We had some AWESOME long range flights this weekend, and I am just gagging to see the logs.
I have been out of it for a while , so here is what I am doing :
I am connecting the APM 2.5 via usb cable to the latest version of MP.
When I connect with flight data, it connects ok, the Flight data is displayed correctly , the AH moves like it should, I can load new missions via the planner, and change any parameter via the settings screens.
I then disconnect everything, because CLI only works on first connect, then reconnect the usb cable.
I then go to TERMINAL, and click "connect" on the top left. (APM selected).
The APM starts to talk to the terminal, I see a few lines of english , like " Com port opened" etc, but then goes into garbled mess, and CLI does not come up with a menu. (Is CLI still active in Arduplane?)
It looks almost as if mavlink data is coming through, or the baud rate is incorrect, but I have checked the baud rate as 115200. (it works in flight data, remember?
I also tried repeating the above, but NOT clicking on connect, just "Log Download" , but then the log browser appears with much garbled text and beeping.
I have tried different USB cables, Different PCs
Any ideas guys?? (Can supply screenshots if it will help)

This is what I get if I click CONNECT
And this is what I click if I click LOG DOWNLOAD.
Wessie,
This page is for copter but I think the same method will allow you to download logs "using mavlink" even on plane. You'll also need a recent version of MP with this functionality.
Hi Wessie,
Hope you are well.
There is no more CLI in Arduplane. You will have to download the log via mavlink on the flight data screen under "Data Flash logs"
Groete
