FilterReview Tool: Out of Memory Error When Loading Logs (ins_raw_opt=9)

ArduPlane Plane 4.6
1

I’m getting an Out of Memory error when loading my drone’s bin logs in the ArduPilot FilterReview Web Tool (https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/WebTools/FilterReview/), but the tool works fine with logs from other drones. The only key parameter change I made recently is setting ins_raw_opt=9.

Questions:

  1. Does ins_raw_opt=9 cause excessive raw IMU data logging that overloads the web tool?

  2. What’s the recommended ins_raw_opt value for compatibility with the FilterReview Tool?

  3. Any other FC parameters I should check to reduce log data volume?

Thanks for any help!

You are required to change other parameters when you change INS_RAW_OPT to 9.

Just changing that single parameter without changing the other will cause the issues you are experiencing and it will overload the flight controller with work.

Read the ArduPilot documentation more carefully when doing such changes.

Or use AMC, it will automatically set the correct logging parameters depending on your FC and propeller size.

I believe they are saying that it is not the flight controller, but the Filter Review tool itself is getting an OOM. (Which may simply mean that either their computer simply does not have enough RAM, or it is worth trying a browser with a different JS engine, as they may cause different memory footprints)

OoM errors are agravated by logging too many unnecessary signals.

Yes, another browser may help as well.

The problem we see most often is enabling too many logging options. Some have had Raw IMU Logging and Fast Harmonic enabled in the Log bitmask and Batch logging enabled in addition to using INS_RAW_LOG_OPT. If using the later all of those others should be disabled.

Chrome has a 2GB per tab memory limit, I use firefox for big logs. Your results may vary with other browsers.

Thanks everyone, I’ll give it another try.
