Autotune not updating params.

Posted by Bob Smith on December 14, 2017 at 9:33am

I have a new build and ran autotune today. I have the tune mode AUTOTUNE_AXIS = 7

I ran Pitch and roll but I had to land before yaw was complete. I left the channel 7 switch which activated auto tune in the "ON" position until I landed and disarmed.

The ATC_xxx parameters are the same before and after this flight.

I am sure I have missed a detail in this process. My questions:

1) If it has to stop the 3 axis AT will it store the completed ones or just ignore all its good work? Dumb if it does but a simple fix. I'll do them one at a time.

2) In Mission planner on the Advanced tuning screen there is a check box called "Lock Pitch and Roll Values" Is this just locking the screen input so I don't mess up or does it lock out Auto tune? 

I am running the following version.

Vehicletype ArduCopter
Firmware Version V3.5.3

Pixhawk 

Many thanks.

PS watching autotune is scary on a big machine.

    That's what I thought. I just got back inside from re-doing the AT on Pitch and Roll only. It completed and gave me a reassuring message on the Taranis. The PIDs have been saved. 

    I'll do the Yaw tomorrow, weather permitting.

    Thanks for the response.

    Unless it completes all selected axis, it's not considered complete, and will not save.
    Choose few axis at a time, or if symmetrical, only roll and yaw, then copy to pitch.
