Description

I have heard rumor that this may already exist but I have no proof of this.

What I would like would be a method that would take a log file from pixhawk and allow me to effectively create a high resolution Tlog file that could be played back in mission planner like a regular Tlog.

The idea here is:
1) to get very smooth playback of the telemetry
2) eliminate gaps in the telemetry if connection with GCS was weak.

We have a super fat data rich log file thats just begging to be played back in mission planner. I know we can analyze logs other ways but I think there would be a real benefit to playing it back in MP just as a Tlog could be played back but rather than 3 or 5hz refresh rate it would be equal to whatever the log records at...Imagine how boss the slow mo playback would work.

Does anyone know of a current solution to this that is practical?

Thanks guys

Research direction

Start by investigating Mission Planner's existing log-analysis and playback entry points, and whether a Pixhawk log-to-Tlog conversion already exists. The issue names no files or tests, so first establish the format and current practical solutions. Done would be a defined method that converts a Pixhawk log into a high-resolution Tlog playable in Mission Planner.
