Motor Current Error message

[Capt_Jim]

Need some help here analyzing the dat file. Got a motor error 3 times during a flight. Which motor is it? Flight times 8:29.6, 8:31.6. 9:1.6.

@captainjim It looks like possibly the Right Back. Can you also supply the .txt log?

 

[Capt_Jim]

OK

 

[Fly Dawg]

@Capt_Jim Didn't see what I was looking for in the .txt log, but the .dat shows it could be more than one motor, with the Right Back being the most likely culprit.

These were the errors, but the current spikes look somewhat unphysical to me.

These were the errors,

Hmmm....The OP stated that he recieved motor errors. Wouldn't these show up in the logs? Iv'e tried Airdata and Phantom Help and there are absolutely no error messages whatsoever. In saying that I did see the ones in the Event log as you posted. That is also why I asked for the .txt log. No errors there either.....?

The .txt he provided was for the first flight in the .DAT. The errors were in the 2nd flight.

@BudWalker ...Now that makes more sense. I did note the fact that he landed and took off again, but didn't occur to me off the top of my head that the .dat would continue and start a new .txt.

As it happens, exactly that discussion has been taking place in the log analysis thread.

Yeah ... it's like "when speaking of the devil", funny coincidence

... returning to my ? & for some "read & learn"

I caught the motor error on the screen while I was flying. Came back home to review the flight record(.txt). Saw the three events. I'm gonna change props and do another flight later this week.

Can you supply that second .txt log from the flight?

Here is the relevant txt file. I think I posted the wrong file earlier.

@Capt_Jim This is what I was looking for previously.

177.6,MOTOR CURRENT ERROR. CHECK YOUR PROPELLERS AND FLY WITH CAUTION.
509.6,MOTOR CURRENT ERROR. CHECK YOUR PROPELLERS AND FLY WITH CAUTION.
511.6,MOTOR CURRENT ERROR. CHECK YOUR PROPELLERS AND FLY WITH CAUTION.
541.6,MOTOR CURRENT ERROR. CHECK YOUR PROPELLERS AND FLY WITH CAUTION.

I get occasionally these messages when flying in gusty winds with full throttle. My props are ok. Should I be concerned?
