Hello,
I'm unable to download logs from IRIS. When I connect to it in MissionPlanner terminal it keeps outputting strange characters every second. First it prints standard
Ready to FLY ublox OK
then it prints strange characters like
QMQH3Qv... and so on, endless sequence, there is also PreArm: INS not healthy text from time to time.
What can be the reason? Other than terminal issue the IRIS works just fine.
Thank you,
Roman

There is no need to use the terminal any more.
Look in the Dataflash Logs tab under the PFD and select Download Dataflash logs via MAVlink.
By the way the stream of data you are seeing is the normal MAVlink data stream from the vehicle. If you still want to use the terminal, you have to connect within 20Seconds of power up. After that the vehicle will not enter Terminal mode.
Thank you very much!
Though, I'm getting the same issue even when connected to terminal within 20 seconds after power up. Hopefully I'll not need it.
Hi Dean
We removed the terminal from the APM boards to create enough room to fit the copter code. Fortunately you can do everything with either MAVlink or the full parameter list.
You can find the options for the Log bitmask here http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/arducopter-parameters/#Log_bitmask...
Hi Dean
The original question was about an Iris and since the Iris has a Pixhawk in it the terminal mode is still there if you want to use it. It is just removed for APM.
As for the Bitmask, Mission Planner only lists a few off the more common options, (or we would run out of space on the screen) but all of them are available to program. The individual bits are all listed here https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/blob/master/ArduCopter/defin...
I hope that helps.
I believe that the terminal has been removed on the latest version of the flight code for APM (not Pixhawk) because there is no more memory left for it on the older 8-bit platform. It was originally designed to allow cross-platform setup but that is now provided by the cross-platform GCSs so it is no longer needed. Craig will be able to confirm.
Did you check the Full Parameter List?
^ This. Much easier to use than the terminal and makes analyzing your logs much simpler.
The baud rate on screenshot is 115200, it works perfectly here for another IRIS.
