Ardupilot ArduCopter add weight to the code
Hello guys! I'm currently working on the PID control of the ArduCopter code... and I was wondering where the mass/weight of the quadrator was considered... if it was considered at all... Even just the parameter name is helpful enough...
And may I ask if the paramter AP_MOTORS_THST_HOVER_DEFAULT is related somehow to the weight/mass?
Thank you!

No, mass is not of interest, and its effect is related to the total thrust and rate of change of thrust available.

well... if I wanna add mass to the code... maybe change something or make use of its value... isn't there any variable which at least makes use of its value.... how is it related to the thrust?
Thanks!

I don't get it, you do not know what it is, and would use that parameter for something different ? Or what do you mean ?

even just maybe have the mass value saved at a certain variable... and do all stuff with it... maybe change the throttle PID control... or something... anything that has the mass/weight of the drone in the code...
