| The PID, NKF(EKF) and IMU take a lot of space. Ìý | * The PID, NKF(EKF) and IMU take a lot of space.Ìý |
| Ìý | * The PID and EKF is saved using the "attitude" bit in the logging parameter setting (see [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/6af0f460afa6f51c41056cd25fe2c70164d9d460/ArduPlane/Log.cpp#L39|Code]]). For the attitude two settings are available: Fast (50Hz), Medium(10Hz) according to [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/blob/6c81c28126e6cb2bdbb9cb58291342ca3ade96a0/dev/source/docs/using-the-command-line-interpreter-to-configure-apmcopter.rst#reading-logs-through-the-cli|LINK]]. I think 10Hz could be enough for us. __**But in the Code actually the Logging is done with 25Hz**__ (see [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/d8d3494b170d50f7b45dced928cd5d9150b50d2f/ArduPlane/ArduPlane.cpp#L87|Code]])Ìý |

Ìý | * IMU logging **could be disabled,** as its already triggerd by attitude logging anyway (see [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/d8d3494b170d50f7b45dced928cd5d9150b50d2f/ArduPlane/ArduPlane.cpp#L209|Code]]), but with less data amount. **UPDATE:** Actually IMU also loggs the **BARO**, so it should not be disabled (see [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/search?q=set_log_baro_bit|INFO]].Ìý |
| Ìý | * TECS (Total Energy Control System) controls altitude vs speed and is important and **should be enabled**.Ìý |
| | * CTUN Logs contain baro and ** should be enabled.**Ìý |
| | * NTUN Logs navigation tuning info at 10 Hz and ** should be enabled.** |
| |
| | This results in the following Table (according to [[https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#log-bitmask-log-bitmask|Log Bitmask Description]]): |
| |
| | ^ Bit ^ Meaning ^ Enabled ^ |
| | | 0 | ATTITUDE_FAST(50Hz) | OFF | |
| | | 1 | ATTITUDE_MED(10Hz) | ON | |
| | | 2 | GPS | ON | |
| | | 3 | PM | ON | |
| | | 4 | CTUN | ON | |
| | | 5 | NTUN | ON | |
| | | 6 | MODE | ON | |
| | | 7 | IMU | ON | |
| | | 8 | CMD | ON | |
| | | 9 | CURRENT | ON | |
| | | 10 | COMPASS | ON | |
| | | 11 | TECS | ON | |
| | | 12 | CAMERA | OFF | |
| | | 13 | RC | ON | |
| | | 14 | SONAR | OFF | |
| | | 15 | ARM/DISARM | ON | |
| | | 19 | IMU_RAW | OFF | |
| | | 20 | ATTITUDE_FULLRATE | OFF | |
| |
| | This results into the following parameter values. In the remarks you can see empirical Results for some settings from ArduPlane Simulator. |
