We have recently added a phantom 3 drone to our firm and are trying to use it with our sketchup video animation to create a seamless blend between the existing real world environment and what we have designed. Is there an extension that can take the flight log information and create scenes from that information? or do we have to manually create scenes with the flight log data?
@cbitting, unfortunately, that .DAT file is in some kind of binary format. Likely proprietary to whatever company made your drone.
Without some link to a API and a programming library, there’d be no way to read it.
Either you’ll need to find some utility to export the data into some standard text format (CSV, etc.) or give us more information, such as the company and drone model number.
Having trouble detemining if this is provided via the SDK.
To clarify, I’d like to get flight telemetry, after the flight, to plot a map path.
Any informaiton would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, the .dat file is for the internal use, not for the public use.
Best Regards.

It appears you chose the wrong manufacturer and product if you expected open data. (And this is your data!)

For the record. The SDKs by DJI are for C/C++ programming:
