How does the PID tuning work? How much do I increase/decrease each time and are the changes reflected in real-time or do I need to click on "Write Params" for them to take effect?Continue

Andre Kotze commented on Marco Robustini's blog post ArduCopter 2.9.2ß: position hold near "DJI Wookong-M" performance!"Im assuming with v3 on the way we'll have to tune from scratch again seeing that there's been such a major change to the flight controller. Am I correct in saying this?"
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Haha I like your comparison Marco, but what you’re saying is very true and I'm aware of all those limitations. One day when I build my next drone I will definately look at getting the latest board for it..."
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"I must say looking at your video it just keeps getting better and better - two thumbs up to you and the dev team! Will it still work on the APM1 boards? Are the APM1 boards perhaps at any risk of becoming extincted in the near…"
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"When did we make the jump from v2.9.1 to v3? I though we're all still waiting for 2.9.2 to come out and now you're teasing us with v3... :-)"
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Hi Randy.
Yes I only flew in stab mode to see what the stock PIDs felt like. Normally I tune it using Dave C's methods in hand and then I fine tune it in the air but I didnt do it this time.
I've flown alt-hold before on…"
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Hi Randy / Leonard.
Please can you have a look at my logs files for me and comment? I finally got some time again to test 2.9.1 with stock PIDs and the following changed settings:
INS_MPU6K_FILTER = 20THR_ACCEL_I = 1THR_ACCEL_P = 0.5
The quad…"

Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Randy can the deadband not perhaps be increased in future releases to something like 35%~65%?
I read lots of people still having issues with alt_hold drifting up or down. Maybe it is that their throttle inputs are outside the deadband range,…"
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Just out of interest is your APM armed or not? Check if the value changes between being armed and being disarmed..."
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Thanks Marco. I myself dont fly from my PC so I never thought about it that way. Just happy to know it wasnt me doing something wrong... :-)"
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"And the downloading of log files? Is that too much data to send over telemetry?
I still wanna know why I have to reboot my APM and MP every time after going into CLI before I can connect to it normally again..."
Andre Kotze replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"I noticed now in the Terminal window it states: "CLI Works only on first connect of power, log download only over USB"
Is this something permanent or will it be addressed in the future? This is probably why I've had to…"

After thinking about it again I realised what he was refering to... :-D"
