Downloading Logs ​

Introduction ​

UAV flight logs are stored on the SD card and logging starts as soon as power is applied. Logs from the same day are placed in a folder named after the date, for example 2026-06-06, and each log file is named in the format YYYYmmDD_hhmmss.ulg. If the autopilot internal RTC date is invalid, a sessXXX folder is created to store the logs, where XXX is a sequence number that increments.

The autopilot embedded system mounts the SD card to the computer as a simulated USB drive, so logs can be copied directly from it.

Downloading ​

Opening the Debug Tools Screen ​

Click the left sidebar of the ground station, click Debug Tools, then select Firmware Upgrade.

Mounting the SD Card ​

The SD card mounting procedure is similar to firmware upgrade, but does not require selecting a file or flashing firmware.

On the firmware upgrade screen, click Find Autopilot, then connect the autopilot FCS-USB port to the computer with a Type-C USB cable; the ground station recognizes it immediately and displays the relevant information, as shown below:
