Hey guys

Experienced the popular motor error on the mini and noticed I'd not been as careful as I normally am putting it back in the fly more case. So as an experiment to myself more than anything, left the drone "open" (arms out) by the window for a couple of days.

Had a quick test flight with no issues so took it to the forest and gave it a good distance run on 3 batteries- absolutely no errors whatsoever. But I'd like to view the logs to see if anything is happening "under the hood" that I should be wary of.

Not had a play with the log files much before short of viewing the data on airdata so excuse my noobness, but downloaded CSVview and still none the wiser- would appreciate if anyone with skills could take 5 mins to help me out. Attached 2 logs if that helps?

TIA ;)

Hey @sar104, could I be really cheeky and ask for your help on this one?

I have tried reading through your how to's but don't seem to be able to get what your posts show- basically trying to ascertain if the rears motors are compensating since the error or if lettings the props flex back to original shape "worked" or not? Thank you ;)

Sure - I'll take a look.
 
Thanks for taking a look buddy, I didn't even think to whack it in speed mode. Will try that when the wind dies down.

Am I able to get to that info without having to bother you?


It looks to be flying fine - it's achieving full specified pitch and speed in P mode. You didn't try sport mode.

You can check the log in CsvView, but it's the work of a moment to take a look if you post the log here.

Managed to get out for a fly last night and gave it a good test in S mode, was pretty gusty too and l'il Buzz performed superbly!

Hopefully the data is just as positive!

Thanks again for looking @sar104 ;)

The aircraft was attaining specified pitch in response to stick inputs, which is good:

The achieved speeds are rather low however because this test was conducted into a fairly stiff headwind.

The left rear motor is still running fast - faster than the right despite the fact that the aircraft is rolled left:

Yeah I picked a nice windy day to test it! Thanks ever so much buddy, that's very useful info ;)
