Does anyone know the input and output ranges for PID functions in commercial flight controller?
I've written my own flight controller.
In it the PID input range is degrees as -180 to 180.
The output range is -65535 to 65535(which is -+max throttle)
I'm just looking to sanity check the PID terms I've been working with.
From watching Joshua Bardwell's PID Tuning Masterclass youtube series as well as reading a variety of articles on PID tuning I see the ratio of P to I to D is somewhat similar.
The value themselves seem to be either be in the range of 1 to 2.5 or 20 to 90 but those don't mean much to me without knowing the expected input and output.
For anyone interested you can see my firmware here: https://github.com/pauljlohman/Pegasus
