My P4P flew away yesterday, need log from aircraft
- Thread starter gr8pics
- Start date
I've not done this since I don't have a Mac. But, these guys have. @happydays and @GregWV Maybe they can give you a hint.
@gr8pics the process for mac is a bit complicated.
You have to fire up the aircraft, then go into MC settings - advanced settings and enter flight data mode.
Connect the p3 to your mac using the small USB on the front of the aircraft, not the one on the gimbal.
Next go to finder, applications, utilities, disc utility.
Then look on the lhs for the dji disc. Select the LOWER file and then File - new image - image from dji fly log then select where you want to store it. I use desktop.
You'll need a fairly full battery as the process can take a while. It will create a file on your desktop containing all of the .DAT files currently stored on the aircraft.
Once you have this complete, you should download the latest version of datcon from @BudWalker's site.
When it has downloaded, RIGHT click on the file called datcon 2.4.x. Jar and click open. If you just click on it it will not open because the programme is not from Apple.
After that, select the file you want to convert, and select all the options you want to convert, csv, log files and Kml files for google earth and click on convert.

Let us know how you got on!

Can you just explain how the flyaway occurred? Was it user error or after disconnect, did just never return home?

I'm waiting the results... a fly away it's almost impossible. The unknown input from user or ATTI mode with wind are the most "false fly aways" that I saw with previous Phantom.

You might try healthydrones.com. Very simple to set up and use. Just get the free account. It does not have the charting capability that datcon has, but may not be necessary in this case.

Unfortunately Healthydrones only shows a brief summary and isn't much use for investigating like Phantomhelp and others are.

Having read another account of our OP's flight on another forum, I doubt he will be coming back with any more information.
It seems that his Phantom didn't fly away at all as he said and the cause of his loss was user error flying his machine very high in strong winds and not noticing it being blown away.
