Log File from MP

Hi,
Can someone explain how to export a log file from mission planner ?

Thx.

You can use these instructions:

https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-downloading-and-analyzing-data-logs-in-mission-planner.html#downloading-logs-via-mavlink

That will work on USB or Telemetry radio. Don’t download logs by telemetry radio unless you have a very fast connection. (regular SiK radios are not fast enough to do this in any reasonable time). USB is most often the way to go.

Or pull the SD card out and copy the files manually.

Pulling the SD card is fastest, but sometimes that’s not practical.

Thank you, i meant log that contains the full parameters list

The .bin log file will have all the parameters in it.

The dataflash log will be the .bin

Hi @elik500,

Once you’ve downloaded the log there are two ways to extract the parameters from it shown below.
