change log rate

[marco.tognon]

Hello!
I configured and started a log package at one frequency f1. Then i would change its frequency. I'm trying using this code:

Code: Select all

log_config.setPeriod(1000/f2)

If then i do

Code: Select all

log_config.getPeriod()

i found the right value but the real log frequency seams to be unchanged!!

May be i have to stop the log, change its frequency, and then restart it?

Hi,

Changing the period after the logging has started is unfortunately not supported. To get around this problem you have to create a new log configuration with the correct frequency.

So, let me to understand better. For example, if I have this code:

Code: Select all

gyroconf = LogConfig("Gyro", 10)
        gyroconf.addVariable(LogVariable("gyro.x", "float"))
        gyroconf.addVariable(LogVariable("gyro.y", "float"))
        gyroconf.addVariable(LogVariable("gyro.z", "float"))
 
        # crazyflie is an instance of the Crazyflie class that has been instantiated and connected
        gyrolog = crazyflie.log.newLogPacket(gyroconf)
 
        if (gyrolog != None):
            gyrolog.data_received.addCallback(gyroData)
            gyrolog.startLogging()
        else:
            print "gyro.x/y/z not found in log TOC"

if then i want to change the frequency have i to erase the hold log and to create a new with the same code?
Is not possible to stop the log, chenge frequency and restart the log?
