View MAVLink Log Files #66

Hello! I want to add the ability to use blackbox-log-viewer with MAVLink .bin (log files) Currently i think about some kind of log file converter from MAVLink .bin files to blackbox .txt Is there some relevant projects/papers/blog post that i should read? I found good description of Blackbox protocol. Should I learn it or it will be enough to use included libraries? Can you suggest better approach? Any help will be welcomed! Thx in advance!

After the description doc that you already have found, the best way to know how it works is to take a BB file and debug it in the log viewer. You will see how the fields are readed. Opening a BB file with some editor and take a look to the contents will help too. I don't know anything about the MAVLink log files, so I don't know if it has an equivalent data to the BB file. If it has, then your converter maybe can work ;)

I'll take a look. Thank you.
