QGC logging issues with Intel Aero RTF

[jdiament95]

I'm following the instruction in this tutorial, but I can't consistently generate log files. Most of the time, when I click "start logging" no file appears under "Saved Log Files." Occasionally a file appears and the index begins increasing, but then it quickly disappears.

Here's some info from the NuttX console:

nsh> logger status
INFO [logger] Running in mode: mavlink
INFO [logger] Mavlink Logging Running

Did you disable logging in mavlink-router? By default, logs are already stored on the linux side via mavlink router under /var/lib/mavlink-router.

How could I check if I disabled logging in mavlink-router? I never intentionally did that.

Is the file path you mentioned on the aero compute board? If so, is there any way to get the logs to store on my laptop running QGC?

There should be a line Log= in /etc/mavlink-router/main.conf on the compute board that you can delete.

Yes. If you disable mavlink router ligging, you should be able to use the QGC log streaming, as you did above.
