yes, yes, yes....that was exactly what I was looking for. I just needed flight relative time.
I'm making KML paths from the serial output, and want to be able to build the path over time.
I'll look into your recommendations...Thanks!

In the system tab, the function print_data reports the telemetry for the ArduPilot; IIRC, it sends about once per second. GPS time isn't included in the telemetry data, but it should be relatively easy to add. For the Ublox GPS, you need to look at…
I am using a Ublox. I'll take a look around, but do you have any idea how to call it?
The code writes the GPS data to serial every one second, right?
JC
There is a time field in the GPS data, but I think it varies depending on which GPS you are using. For the Ublox, I think it's milliseconds from the beginning of the week.
wow....awesome tool. Took me a while to really figure it out, but it should be a pre-requisite to opening the *.h files. Much easier to visualize current settings and potential problems, as well as figuring out what you think are reasonable initial…
Yes, I had this problem as well. I upgraded to IE 8 , and it works just fine.
JC
Thanks for the info Peter. I'll definitely check it out, as it seems more robust than mine.
It does not integrate with GCS. I've been just leaving the laptop in the car with a terminal running on the XBee receiver, then saving that dump to a text f…
I made a python script that will parse a raw log file into KML. I need to do a couple more things, and I'm certainly not much of a programmer, but this is what it looks like right now.
and that's coming from the serial output like this:
+++ASP:-1…
Apparently not....it's interesting though....it shouldn't be too difficult of a problem to solve.
Converting the serial data logs into a KML type of format should just take a matter of time.
I've got a start, we'll see what happens.
I'm in the middle of trying to figure this out as well. I've got a few serial logs, and can get a point in time picture of the plane in Google Earth, but I can't figure out how to get it to lay down tracks.
There's got to be a way to do this withou…
Is there no parser for the serial data that is dumped? Preferably a KML parser?
Or is everyone dumping to excel / CSV and building charts?
I can't seem to find any topics on the techniques people are using to manipulate the data that is recorded.…
With the uBlox connected, you leave the bind plug in until the GPS lock LED is solid, and the unit goes into the servo cycling mode. Then you remove the bind plug and fly.
Have you tried this outside, with a clear view of the sky?
You can use the…
What does the blue GPS lock LED do? Just keeps flashing fast? What GPS are you using?
Thanks for the encouragement Morli.
I've used both the GCS that comes with the ArduPilot distribution, and the new one (2.6.4) that was put out.
I can get it to show me the current location in GE, but can't seem to get it to show me the historical…
Hi john,
What ground station or GCS software ver are you using? I don't know the answer to your question offhand but sure remember reading it here very often and many members are doing it regularly, so hold on , some one will get you the help, meanw…

- HW/SW Product Manager
Been learning to fly the last few months with an Easystar. First one is banged up a bit, but still flying every day! Have a backup ARF Easystar in the closet.
The article in make got me initially interested, and then I realized I actually needed to know how to fly one of these things.
From an outsiders perspective, this whole auto-pilot deal is the Wild Wild West. There's a lot of work going on, which leads to a lot of confusion and replication.
Looking forward to helping eliminate the confusion, and help build a best-of-breed HW/SW open source project.
