What PID parameters do DJI settings correspond to in APM Code?

As I learn more about the PID tuning this question got stuck to my head.I have DJI Naza as well and Naza software lists all the parameters under two main Gain groups:1.Basic Gain2. Attitude GainsUnder the Basic Gain, you have Pitch, Roll, Yaw, and AltitudeUnder the Attitude Gain, you have only Pitch and Roll So are there all P gains that we are adjusting there? And if so, do the Basic Gain correspond to Rate_P of APM code and Attitude Gains correspond to Stabilize_P?See More

Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have always had interest in UAVs for as long as I have known myself. When I was a kid, not only UAVs but even R/C aircrafts were almost impossible to get. Nowadays with the advance technology, there is a big hope for the civilian users like us. I am happy and optimistic about civilian UAV development. I am mostly interested in traditional heli UAVs but any type of UAV could be in my interest...
