MicroKopter NaviCtrl 2.1 Manual Download Page 16

12 Micro SD-card

You can use a micro SD-Karte (up to 2GB / FAT16) in your NaviCtrl.
All telemetry data of the copter will be automatically saved on the micro SD card in a GPX and KML file.

After the flight you can take a look on the recorded data in the LOG file (if required) wit our program
GPX-Viewer

.

Informations for the GPX Viewer can be found here: 

GPX-Viewer

Plug in the SD card as you can see under Mounting / Connections.

If the card is inserted, the needed file SETTINGS.INI will be created automatically after you connect the
battery with the copter.
Also a folder LOG will be created automatically when you do your first flight.

INFO
If you update the Software, it can be that there are new functions.
To use all the new functions you should clear the SETTINGS.INI. It will be created automatically new with the
right new values that are needed.

12.1 SETTINGS.INI

The file SETTINGS.INI includes some settings you normally have not to change.
If you must change a value you can do it with an normal windows editor.

The values in the SETTINGS.INI are largely self-explanatory.
If you e.g. want to achieve greater speed in manual flight under PositionHold or during a waypoints flight,
you can increase the value of DYNAMIC_PH_SPEED. Or you will use use GPS and BEIDOU (instead of
GOS and GLONAS) as receiving satellites you can change it under GPS_SYSTEM_CFG anpassen.

12.2 Presentation of the flight data in Google Earth

In the current version of Google Earth (> 6.1) you can show the route by loading the .KML or .GPX files.
(The flight-route with a .GPX file will be also displayed in the height if you set up in the properties of the file
the Height to Relativ to ground.)
