ArduPilot Dataflash plugin for Plotjuggler

plotjuggler-apbin-plugins

This repository contains ArduPilot Dataflash plugin for PlotJuggler.

Install PlotJuggler

To build any plugin for PlotJuggler, PlotJuggler must be installed on your system. For detailled instructions on how to install PlotJuggler please have a look at the Installation section of the PlotJuggler repository.

If you have ROS installed, you can install PlotJuggler using:

sudo apt install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-plotjuggler-ros

Install plotjuggler-apbin-plugin

The installation of the plotjuggler-apbin-plugin is straightforward.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/khancyr/plotjuggler-apbin-plugins
   

2. Install the dependencies:
   The plugin uses Qt as dependency. Since PlotJuggler also depends on Qt, chances are high that you already have it installed. On Ubuntu Qt can be installed with:

   sudo apt -y install qtbase5-dev libqt5svg5-dev
   

3. Compile using cmake:

   mkdir build; cd build
   cmake ..
   make
   sudo make install
   

If you run sudo make install the plugin gets installed to /usr/local/bin/.
Remember that PlotJuggler needs to find the plugin files at startup. Therefore make sure that the folder containing the plugin files is added to PlotJuggler in the settings. Check App->Preferences->Plugins in PlotJuggler to learn more.

Configuration

If you want the units to be displayed in PlotJuggler, you need to edit dataload_apbin.cpp and activate #define LABEL_WITH_UNIT.
Be carefull:
This is not a nice solution because the units are simply appended to the field names. This renders your already created visualization layouts unusable. It would be a better solution if PlotJuggler supported unit handling directly.

Qt5 Concurrent linking error

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 running on WSL
Plotjuggler: Ros Humble installation
Qt5 Concurrent: libqt5concurrent5/jammy-updates,now 5.15.3+dfsg-2ubuntu0.2 amd64 [installed]

Issue:
When running cmake, I get the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:82 (add_library):
  Target "DataAPBin" links to target "Qt5::Concurrent" but the target was not
  found.  Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or
  an ALIAS target is missing?

I was able to get past this by adding a find_package call for Qt5 concurrent.

PlotJuggler v3.9.1 Crashes when loading .bin log

Hi.

I have sucessfully built the ardupilot plugin for PlotJuggler. When I load a dataflash log, the PlotJuggler program crashes without warning after the load screen reaches 100%.

Setup:

ubuntu 20.04
PlotJuggler 3.9.1

for reference, the exact error message that I see:

plotjuggler: symbol lookup error: /home/jono/Carbonix/plotjuggler-apbin-plugins/build/libDataAPBin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN2PJ14PlotDataMapRef10addNumericERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESt10shared_ptrINS_9PlotGroupEE

Could you please point me to steps to check to fix this incase I built the plugin incorrectly?

Thanks

4.1 log format changed

Log messages not contains Instance field and store data from multiple instances in the same message id.
For example XKF1 now contains log from all EKF lanes...
