Loiter and WP PID

Posted by Paul Thunder on October 28, 2012 at 12:22am

Hi

I have a quad other than original ArduCopter kit, so I have to change PIDs manually.

After a lot of hand tests and PID changes, I found out my PID as you can see in screenshot.

For me this PID for Stabilize and Rate Roll etc. stabilize mode works well.

But when I tried to switch to Loiter, it started hovering in around 50 meters with changing altitude, also one time Quad was in about 10-12 meters up, then when I switched to Loiter, it started descending, hit the ground hardly and took off again to air (to 10-12 meter it was) and started Loitering.

Any ideas?

How can I find out Loiter and Auto WP PIDs from PIDs I find for Stabilize? What's difference in Stabilize PID settings and Loiter Speed and Loiter PID and WP PID parts? How I can fill WP and Loiter PIDs from what I learned and found out in Stabilize PID?

(I had a bad crash and broke my quad due to this failure in PID of Loiter)

Thanks

    Are you sure the barometer was covered properly?  I found mine to be bad even with certain types of foam on them.  You need to ensure there is air getting to the barometer easily but never at high speed (and no light rays either).
