FlightLogs

A GUI interface to connect to the VOXL2/PX4 and be able to :

• download ulogs
• convert ulogs to csv
• convert csv to json
• view ulog in local Flight Review

The csv and the JSON files are only for one message of the ulogs. Currently the data for the message '-m vehicle_attitude ' is downloaded. This message can be changed in the constants.py file. If there is enough interest or demand, a selection menu can be added so that the user can select which message data to download.

Prerequisite

Install Flight Review

Follow the Installation and Setup instructions here: https://github.com/PX4/flight_review Preferably install the requirements.txt in a virtual environment.

Install virtual environment

Generally, the following order is the most appropriated.

$ git clone <Project A>  # Cloning project repository
$ cd <Project A> # Enter to project directory
$ python3 -m venv my_venv # If not created, creating virtualenv
$ source ./my_venv/bin/activate # Activating virtualenv
(my_venv)$ pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt # Installing dependencies
(my_venv)$ deactivate # When you want to leave virtual environment

All installed dependencies at step 5 will be unavailable after you leave virtual environment.

After running the python3 setup_db.py as per the instructions, please make a note of the absolute path to flight_review/app. This path is necessary in FlightLogs
