Tiny Blackbox is an open source ultra-light external recorder for micro drones.
Dimensions: 9 x 14 mm
Weight: 0.47 g
Recording rate: up to 4 kHz
Data rate: 1.5 Mbit/s
Current consumption: < 30 mA
Flash memory: 16 MB, W25Q128JVPIQ
Microcontroller: STM32F042G6U6
Setup
Connect the device to the flight control (RX-> Any available UART port on TX, TX->RX).
Set up the black box in the betaflight configurator:
Ports tab: Peripherals -> Black box logging, speed 1500000.
Modes tab: blackbox -> assign to any available AUX switch. @vinvaa Note: You can also not set this switch. By default, the log will be recorded directly in
the Blackbox tab: Recording Device -> Serial Port.
Screenshot : The flight control log data is recorded by default after powering on.
Press and hold for 1 second to read the log mode.
Press and hold again for 3 seconds to clear all logs.
Read the recorded log
and configure the flight control bf_uart_number value in config.json to match the black box port number in Betaflight.
Connect the flight controller to the computer.
Press and hold the button for 1 second to switch to read mode (two flashes).
Run the Python script tinybb.py. This script automatically converts the flight controller to serial pass-through mode.
Use the r command to save logs from flash memory to a file.
Open the file using Black Box Explorer and enjoy :-)

You may need to install the pySerial module before running the script. Type pip3 install pyserial into the command prompt (cmd.exe or terminal).
