Logging Research

Critical Logging Data:

  • Data Timestamps (Data is useless without)

  • RPM Actual and target Values

  • Aileron/Rudder/Elevator Actual and target positions

  • Euler angles Actual and target

  • Altimeter and holding altitude/target altitude

  • Flight mode at any given point (Eg. following waypoints, takeoff, landing, etc.)

  • GPS co-ordinates (can be post-processed to get speed if needed)

  • Error codes

  • Data for configuration (PID values, other tuning/modes)

  • Battery charge % or Voltage

Standard Logging Data:

  • All waypoint data

  • Current airspeed

  • Any other recorded sensor data

  • Is Landed bool

  • Flight path all data and commands

  • Log of how much charge the batteries carry after each run/recharge (Logged separately)

Nice to have:

  • Camera gimble Target and Euler angles

  • Home base initialized

  • Home base location
