Arducopter Configurator

Posted by Matthew Gray on May 2, 2011 at 12:20pm

Is there a guide on how to use the arducopter configurator? Just some simple definitions would help really. What is kp rate? What does it affect? When I change the PID settings, how does that affect the copter?

    Mission planner is now replacing old legacy Configurator. ArduCopter 2 (ACM) will support this along with many other features.

    Here's the ArduPirated page on PID values and tuning: http://code.google.com/p/ardupirates/wiki/PIDSettings

    Also look up the wiki article on PID control.

    Kp rate is something I never found a definition of in the arducopter wiki, but I'm led to believe it's how responsive your quad is to a given stick input. A higher value gives more responsiveness, lower gives less.

    they were just removed today because new code (with new configurator) should be released this week
