Technical requirements

Log analysis tools are different for flight controllers using open source firmware. It typically involves common software and hardware tools, regardless of the specific firmware. The skills required for log analysis are also similar across various open source flight control platforms. Here’s an overview of the requirements:

• Log analysis software: Many open source firmware solutions provide log analysis tools as part of their ecosystem, such as the following:
  • PX4: Flight Review (https://review.px4.io/), pyulog (https://github.com/PX4/pyulog).
  • ArduPilot: Mission Planner, APM Planner 2.0, MAVProxy, MAVExplorer, and others.
  • GCS: GCS software, such as Mission Planner, QGroundControl (QGC), APM Planner, or AeroGCS, is necessary to download, view, and analyze flight logs.
• Graphing and data analysis software: Additional tools for in-depth data analysis, visualization, and graphing can be beneficial. Tools such as Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, or Python with...
