New logviewer binaries for windows

mlyle

Can be found at http://jar.lyle.org/~mlyle/logview-20170306.zip .

On non-windows platforms you can use python3 and do pip3 install dronin[all] to get a command called dronin-logview from PyPI.

Sorry for the ad-hoc way this is released.

Thanks for a complete standalone windows logviewer!
Now if only I had another UART port on the revo mini to use openlagger!
(need to go seppuku soon!)

Could you specify what's logged with Basic / Fullbore / Custom settings? I could not find in the system settings how to use the Custom logs.

Fullbore is fine as long as one has an external logger (such as openlagger), but with internal logging, one has to carrefully segregate what's logged (limited memory, and slow download), in this particular case custom logging makes sense.

raemin In the UAVO browser, if you enable 'show meta objects' in the options, you can edit the logging rate for each object (as well as the rate that things are telemetered to GPS, etc). Use caution-- editing the wrong thing on metaobjects can make it impossible to talk to the board.

The rate specified in the metaobjects is used when "custom" profile is selected.

mlyle ... Could not find the setting, do you mean this screen?

No, in the UAVO browser ( the thing that lists all the objects).

There is an eye icon, I think. It toggles what kinds of stuff is shown. You enable showing metaobjs in there.

Thanks for the tip it worked!

1/ Based on your previous comments If I only modify the meta-objects called "Logging Update Period" I should normally not break anything... (or not?)
2/ The OpenLog BaudRate is 250000, MaximumRate 50, is this consistent? If so which value should I use for "Logging Update Period"?
3/ In the log-viewer, with the "one button mouse" option, one can "zoom in". What about "zoom out"

Thanks...

I recommend if you use openlager to use a faster baudrate-- like 2000000.

The OpenLog BaudRate is 250000, MaximumRate 50, is this consistent? If so which value should I use for "Logging Update Period"?

I don't know. Depends what you're doing whether this will "spill objects" and have gaps or not. I don't have any kind of table between logging rates and logger speeds.

If you're using bare openlog, note that while it speaks 250000bps serial it can't always keep up with that and you'll end up with gaps.

In the log-viewer, with the "one button mouse" option, one can "zoom in". What about "zoom out"

I use mousewheel on an axis.

LitterBug

mlyle Using an OpenLager on my BabyTri @ 2,000,000 baud with default logging level. When I try to open the log file, LogView crashes.

Here's a sample log. Can you see if you have the same problem opening the file?

Cheers!

The cloud service that provides the definitions of the UAV objects/data formats doesn't know about the revision that made these.

mlyle@midnight:~/dRonin/python$ ./dronin-dumplog ~/Downloads/BabyTri2Waggle.drlog 
Log file is based on git hash: b28509e7
...
  File "/home/mlyle/dRonin/python/dronin/uavo_collection.py", line 133, in from_git_hash
    raise Exception("Couldn't get any UAVO definitions by githash")
Exception: Couldn't get any UAVO definitions by githash

I don't remember if we taught it to look at JIhlein's tree, but that hash doesn't occur in it, either.

LitterBug

mlyle I know in the past @jihlein's fork has produced usable logs. Maybe he can take a look at what needs to be done with his current branch.

Is there any updated logview binary? It would also be nice to have this or an updated python repo: I've updated the viewer through "pip3 install --upgrade dRonin[all]" , but the resulting binary crashes when loading inconceivable logs.

As a last resort I've downloaded the whole dRonin inconceivable branch on github, kept only the python folder and manually launched "python C:\-----\python\dronin-logview" . That's a bit crude but it works.
