ArduPilot is capable of logging all the internal data (raw and fused sensor data) but if you want to get sensor data from outside and store it externally, this post will be useful.

MAVLink and Arduino: step by step

MAVLink and Arduino by Juan Pedro López This is not a post on the details of MAVLink serial protocol. If you are interested on the protocol itself, you can read the fantastic post by Pedro Alburquerque: This post will be focused on my experience and practical use of MAVLink protocol on an on-board Arduino (Nano with ATmega328) that communicates with a Pixhawk flight controller (a clone one, v2.4.8). I am using the Arduino to control the lights of my drone (WS2812B leds) and the code you will…
