I have been trying the x-plane interface over the last couple of days and could't manage to tune the airframe - it always ended up spiraling in after switching to any of the stabilized modes. This…Continue
RTL vs.Loiter

Is there any way to distinguish between RTL and loiter via the Mavlink? From what I can see, when an RTL command is active it is implemented as a loiter at the home position, so the flight status…Continue

Andrew Fernie commented on Andrew Fernie's blog post Extracting data from tlog files for plotting in Excel"Looks like the data format of the txt file was changed in recent versions of the Mission Planner. I was keying on the "=" to pick up the parameters and it is gone. I will rework the code.

Extracting data from tlog files for plotting in Excel
Posted on May 11, 2012 at 6:00pm 19 Comments 5 Likes
I wanted to analyze some data from a tlog file and figured that Excel would be the most flexible way so I created a little utility to extract the data I was interested in and save it as a comma separated value (CSV) file. Each selected parameter is in a separate column, and Excel can open the csv directly.
Note that it can't open the tlog file directly. You must use the Mission Planner to convert it to txt format. so:

Ardupilot control using OSD menus

While the progress on the APM Mission Planner makes it more and more attractive to bring the laptop out to the field for each flight, sometimes the simplicity and sunlight readability of the Ardustation is what I really need. The problem was that I kept adding more pages and busted the memory limit of the…
