FlightRecord format

[dibblego]

Hello,
After a flight, I have a file called DJIFlightRecord_yyyy_mm_dd_[hh-mm.ss].txt

This file format has 7 columns of 4-characters, repeated. Each character is a hexadecimal digit [0-9a-f]. If I upload this file to djilogs.com then I get a map of the flight, so clearly this website knows the format of these files.

However, I can find no information on these files. Does anyone know what format they are in?

Several people have made decoders but I don't think anyone has actually published the format, probably not to risk getting in trouble with DJI.

Some might have reverse-engineeered it, but I rather think most of the services received the specs from DJI under NDA.

How might someone get in trouble for writing software?

 

[Kilrah]

Not for writing software obviously since many did it, but the format info might be covered by whatever agreement preventing from disclosing it.

DJI certainly wants to restrict access to the data for some reason, otherwise they'd just have spat out CSV like anyone else.

OK, thanks for the answers. Do you know where else these examples exist besides djilogs.com ?

I have the same question, has anyone got more details on the log file format?
I stumbled across this data: daviesian/phantom-decoder but it appears to be incomplete
