Question about flight.log file #24

Closed pgiacalo closed 11 years ago

pgiacalo commented 11 years ago

Hi guys,

I'm wondering how to read the mavelous flight.log file. After a flight today, I was wondering what the log would show as far as lost links, etc. But when I open the log file in a text editor is contained gibberish.

Thanks, Phil

That's a MAVProxy log - I believe it is mavlink packets in their binary (wire) format. There is a little bit of info on the Mavproxy wiki page.
