Tentatively hosted at : ppzilogarchive.dyndns.org

scripts currently stored at :

https://github.com/paulcox/ppzilogarchive

During construction this is limited to dev notes

updates

• view logs
  • sort methods : by date, aircraft name, location, duration, other?
  • add kinomap link

• upload logs
  • data/log files and email
  • flight description (present textfield at file upload or summary page or both?)

things to add

• command line utility to upload logs without having to use browser
  • asks for flight details to put in flight description

• add user census tab
  • user name, location, group affiliation, wiki user page link,
  • contact info (option for public or private)
  • checkbox (can paparazzi maintainers contact you to request more info for user census?)
  • sub page for each aircraft or project (will be linked to relevant logs)
    • list of airframe files extracted from logs (stored as files or in git or something?)
    • pictures

• add "Top Scores" tab with records for max speed, max alt, max flight duration, etc

• add google maps polyline for flight trajectory and plot flight plan waypoints

• uploading
  • check that log and data files have same name (in case user by mistake tries to upload two files that aren't related)

• parsing
  • generate file of telemetry fields (name, count, and all series data), store in upload area (create sub for each flight?)
  • store standard plots of each field as user requests them (script then looks for already existing file before generating)

• plotting
  • select the log field to plot, example bat->voltage
  • all points plotted (default to takeoff to landing time)
  • start/end time can be adjusted (boxes)
  • maybe allow multiple plots on the same page (how many?)

• kinomap/video integration
  • viewing log page a link is already provided to nmea file (for user to use in kinomap app directly if they want)\
  • a link is provided to kinomap if the flight has already been uploaded there
  • script in paparazzi runs ffmpeg then uses api to upload
    • video uploaded to ppzi via ftp or http, is transcoded then sent to kinomap
    • log flight sync done either by user giving video time of takeoff (potentially this could be found automatically with some vision sw)
  • certain video frames can be selected as flight thumbnails (separate page?)
    • user indicates the time offset of frame of interest
    • when plotting logs, a frame for a time of interest can be displayed (either clicking on graph or entering time in a box)

• sql backend
  • to avoid storing in files and doing interesting queries

• user management
  • user password
  • add/delete planes
