Is there a way to take kmz files and convert them to the tlog format to play with the telemetry logs? I would like to see the speed my copter was flying when it crashed!
no, i'm afraid there isn't. But if you have a kmz file then it was probably produced when you downloaded the dataflash logs and in the GPS message there is a ground speed field.
i am new to pixhawk and is way over my head ..i have crashe both my pixhawks projects and talked to 3dr and they ask me to send logs from my sdcard ..so i sent the bin files ..how do they read that ..is there a program to read bin files ?..just wondering ..
Clinton, I don't think that the kmz file format supports that type of information...that's what i gather from a short look at the kmz file format tutorial from the google people
Randy, I need to get flight data streamed real time into another program running side by side with Mission Planner. I'd like to know what would be the easiest way for me to query status data from the flight data screen? For instance, how do I ask Mission Planner, "What is the current latitude of the copter?" And get that latitude into my program. Ideally, I would like my program to see all of the status data. I know that in MP, press control-f > then mavlink, will pass through all raw mavlink data to a TCP connection. However, it is encrypted and it's all gibberish. Furthermore, it seems the .tlogs don't have all the data that the status tab has. Please Help.
Randy, absolutely brilliant. A video like this is worth a thousand words of explanation. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Andy
Thanks much Randy. Could not agree more with Deperatepilot.

Randy, will I be able to do this in APM Planner (for Mac) as well? Thanks.
I do have the kmz file and I have it loaded in Google Earth. How can I get the ground speed from that file or from Google Earth?
