TXTlogToCSVtool for MM2

Exphantomflyer · Feb 25, 2021

Has anyone got TXTlogToCSVtool for the Mavic Mini 2 yet, Ive done a forum search and cant find anything.

Ive tried TXTlogToCSVtoolMM but that creates a garbage CSV file.

Edit : It’s for use in Dashware program

thanks

Nope ... nothing regarding logs for a MM2 can be handled outside Airdata.com right now.

The problem goes further than that, MM .txt logs recorded under 1.2.4 are illegible to CsvView and when I reinstalled 1.1.6 I HAD to remove the txt logs recorded under 1.2.4 before the App would/could see any of the .txt logs via "profile".

Assumed you at least were on a FLY app version above 1.2.1 ... but if you sorted it, don't update the app, because then it's goodbye.

From FLY app v1.2.2 only Airdata.com can decrypt the TXT logs right now ... & both the DAT logs (AC and mobile device) is encrypted & can only be read by DJI staff.

yeah I don’t know what version of app was used for the txt file I have as it was sent to me.
However I have a mini 2 coming today so will test it and other app versions as well

The app version is or was listed in the the txt file but I do not know if it is one of the things air data can extract

I managed to borrow a MM2 and tested the app versions 1.2.0, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2.

In 1.2.0 the flight log txt file converts fine using either TXTlogToCSVtool.exe or TXTlogToCSVtoolMM.exe and can be imported into Dashware

In 1.2.1 the flight log txt file converts fine using either TXTlogToCSVtool.exe or TXTlogToCSVtoolMM.exe and can be imported into Dashware

In 1.2.2 the flight log txt file does not convert correctly so isnt useable.

SO it seems that DJI changed something in 1.2.2 that affects how the 2 tools convert, that means that your only option is to load one of the working app versions, great if you are an android user but not for IOS users as the latest version also produces erroneous CSV files.

Thank you. I wonder can they make an individual post a sticky?

As said ... from FLY app v1.2.2 the TXT isn't readable except using Airdata ... & it's not enough to re-install a previous version of the app to make it readable... if the flight log is already made through 1.2.2 & above it's already encrypted in the new way. Mobile device DAT logs is totally unreadable coming from a MM2 ...

This have been known for several month now ...

Yeah I read your post mate, im merely stating that if you want useable files for dashware then you need an earlier app version.

I like Dashware too but also KML files for Google Earth.
At the moment I see only one possibility.
You switch on in the DJI Fly app under video > "subtitles".
The subtitles can be extracted from the copter videos to get a srt file here:

Subtitle Extractor for DJI Drones

DJI drones record telemetry data in subtitle format with the Video Caption option. Some drones (Mavic Mini, Phantom 4 Pro, Inspire 2) embed the subtitles in the video file. Use this tool to extract the telemetry as a .SRT file

djitelemetryoverlay.com

Now a programmer would have to find, who create a small program to get from the srt file a csv file.
The first line of the csv file could then e.g. look like this:
Aperture,SS,ISO,EV,DZOOM,Longitude,Latitude,Rel.HEIGHT[m],Distance[m],HEIGHTfromHP[m],HorizSpeed[m/s],Vert.Speed[m/s]

Sorry for my Google-English.
