PX4 flight logs

Connects today

The ULog files a PX4 vehicle writes for every flight.

Files & logs · File

Import a .ulg into a source you already have. Its logged fields land as history you can chart beside everything else on that machine.

What Plexus reads

  • Logged fields and their units, straight out of the file

What it does not read

  • Anything live. A log is a record of a flight that has already happened
  • It is not a connection of its own — the file imports into an existing source

Connecting it

  1. 1Open a source, then Import data

Tutorial

Visualize PX4 ULog flight logs in the browser

Import a .ulg file into Plexus and chart any logged field. No install, no scripts.

  1. 1

    Get the log. PX4 writes a .ulg for each flight to the SD card, under log/. Or download it over the link with QGroundControl: Analyze Tools, then Log Download.

  2. 2

    Open the source for the vehicle in Plexus and click Import data. If the vehicle isn't in Plexus yet, add it first.

  3. 3

    Drop in the .ulg, up to 200 MB.

  4. 4

    Pick the fields to import. Each shows its point count and range, and the filter box narrows the list.

  5. 5

    Leave "Save imported range as a run" on and name the flight, then click Import.

What you’ll see: The fields land as history on that vehicle, with their original timestamps, taken from GPS when the log has it. The flight is saved as a run you can compare against other flights.

Connect it, and the dashboards build themselves from the first data that lands.
