Airdata and dronelink

I have found the flights i made with dronelink in the airdata app and web app. I guess after i linked them it took a bit to show up.

    On the same point of Airdata and DL, I'd like to find out if there is the possibility that synching to Airdata from DL can be based on the mission, rather than flight time per battery, or perhaps to have a summarized general overview of the mission made available in DL as a referenceable report.

    Just land the drone at the end of the mission and a flight log will be created for the mission, then you can analyse it in the airdata app

    Am not sure I understand your meaning here.... are you implying that instead of the drone returning home to land itself, i should take over and land the drone itself to get an integrated mission report? 

    Perhaps I wasn't very clear with a scenario... I have a mapping mission that ends up requiring multiple battery swaps. I observe that reports sent by DL are based on the batter swaps and not the mission.

    In my latest test, I needed two battery swaps to complete the mission, so DL sends two Airdata uploads with each upload representing a start-stop event. My hope is to get a combined report based on the actual mission completion, and not the start-stop of motors.

    Maybe it's not doable yet.

    The airdata reports are produced by the drone and are compiled when the drone lands, and then sent to airdata, DL or whatever software you use to fly with just provide a means of uploading them to the airdata servers, if you wanted a really concise report, you could download the CSV files for the mission and combine them in excel

    Flight logs are on a flight-by-flight basis.  

    However, Airdata allows you to group flights and that might give you what you need.  Just select a bunch of flights, use the actions dropdown and select Group/Ungroup flights.

    Once you have done that you can view all of the flights together in Airdata, including a view of all of the flights in that group.

     

    Another option (and the subject of a future "Five Minute Friday") is to use the files manifest.  This is found in the history and contains a list of all files created during a mission.  This shows as a list (see pic) or as a downloadable .json file that contains information on every file created, the location, heading, etc.      Note...this is not available in all plans.
