DJI Log Converter

I got a profile put together. The 1st one is what you currently have, and the 2nd is the additional profile.

Oh...and I also wanted to mention that even though there is a large amount of data above, there is still more data somewhere. Maybe the .dat files?
 
Recommend you just use the "Comprehensive CSV" format from now on, I don't want to be in the business of renaming headers and changing units - make a new Dashware profile if you need it. The Comprehensive CSV is the canonical going forward.

Added support for FLY???.DAT, but it's text log messages only for the forseeable future.

Hot off the press... another converter for your DJI Pilot .txt log files...

http://www.uavforecast.com/djilogs

Outputs:
  • a comprehensive CSV format with every field imaginable
  • a Flytrex-compatible CSV format
  • Google Earth KML file
Props to Frank D'Amato for working with me on this one.

Also now supports FLY???.DAT files, with very limited output (text log messages only for the forseeable future).

Upcoming features:
  • log in to your DJI account to download your flight records from the cloud
  • a domain name just for this tool

I just discovered last night a way to capture the flight logs, downloading directly from the camera link to Mac... here's a screenshot. Trying to figure out all the fields, but totally cool...

I've created a profile in Dashware from the comprehensive CSV. Works really well :) Thank you for providing the converter!
I created the RC stick movements, throttle + rudder on left stick and Elevator + aileron on the right. Great to see how close you are of doing a CSC in flight.
Lots of data to view and monitor eg battery health through voltage, battery temp etc.
But I can't find one field, the actual amps(current). As the actual voltage increases the actual amps should decrease (usually) and vice versa.
Is there no such field in the DJIFlightRecord???.txt file ?
In the SDK documentation there is a CurrentCurrent
- (NSInteger) currentCurrent
readwritenonatomicassign
current (mA)

I tried all the current columns but none show this. Below a video where I've charted some of the current columns.
Any ideas appreciated!

What about CENTER_BATTERYcurrent?

Btw, any chance the flight log will be displayed in Imperial instead of all Metric? The current flight log doesn't display feet or mile per hour(mph).

I have given the info of Matthew Lloyd's converter link to what seems like a 500 people in just the past 4-5 weeks. But now some has emailed saying their P3 is messed up and they're all depressed, or asking what could be wrong with their bird.

So I'll ask what is it that has them feeling upset or confused. And I will get something such as "I thought I was going faster but the flight log said the bird was only going 18mph and I had it wide open".

I then have to explain that the formula is in Meters Per Second and that their quad actually went 40mph. Instant relief....but confusing for sure.

Anyway that's why I ask about Imperial.

It's a supplemental file to the video that contains the closed caption data. DJI could have just embedded the CC data into the video, but that would have been more difficult to remove if someone wanted to share a video without giving out potentially sensitive information (GPS coordinates of your house?).

I was just looking at this thread last night as well as my flight logs in the app. Now 2/3 of my flights are gone and my first few flights from last week show feb 7as the date. Does anybody know anything about this?

It seems CenterBattery.Current is incorrectly converted to the csv - using the converter from http://www.djilogs.com/ values are between 50000 to 60000.
The P3 draws around 13000mAh.
There is another csv converter at http://thecutter.net/djiconverter
It shows basically same data but under the CenterBattery.Current column, values are between 10000 to 20000 - so these are the correct ones.
Anyway you could modify the conversion to show correct values?

Thanks for spotting this. This is now fixed. The current field now appears correctly in amps.
 
Thanks a bunch!
Now I can work further on the Dashware profile.
Do you mind saying how you convert the txt file? Is it through the SDK?
 
Frank D'Amato has done a bunch of work on DJILogs.com-compatible Dashware profiles. Join his FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dashwaregaugesharing/

There is no DJI SDK for reading the logs, as far as I know. I reverse engineered the (completely undocumented) format by decompiling the DJI Pilot app and making some educated guesses - hence the occasional mistake :)

Ah ok thanks for that!

I'm still creating the profile. Not too difficult to create but always some issues coming up.
Like the Amps issue in previous post - Next one - Amps, amongst some other fields, is only updated every second. The csv file has data for every 1/10 second. Unfortunately, the same value is repeated 10 times. It would be less jerky if it had been lineally interpolated. Dashware can do this, but only if the rows are blank.
Here is what I mean. Look at the watts' dynamic text. Same number for 1 second.
Any chance CloudsNeverDie to change to a linear interpolation? Not a big deal though. I could also run a macro on the csv to do it.
