My quad has problems with alt-hold. It flies fine in stab but once I switch it over it begins to lurch a lot. It fails to hold altitude too, sometimes it rises and sometimes it drops.
I have altitude Kp set to channel 6 and it is allowed to vary between 0.5 and 3. This setting does not seem to make much difference as the copter has similar symptoms over the entire range.
I'm not sure if my gains are too high or too low. I was thinking about setting throttle accel Ki to zero and adjusting either throttle accel Kp or throttle rate Kp using ch6. I don't want to make it go unstable though.
The other settings that I want to fiddle with are INAV_TC_Z and THR_MID. What is the difference between THR_MID and TRIM_THROTTLE?
My board has a problem with logging so I am unable to collect/post a log.
Any suggestions?
Here is the video:
These are my current settings. I have also tried the default settings to no avail.

check, or post your .log here, what you described - fits very well into my idea of excessive z vibrations.
My board is unable to log. I disabled my dataflash permanently while troubleshooting a hardware problem. I think I do have a z vibration problem though. I am using the earplug mounting method for isolation http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/foam-ear-plugs-for-vibration-da.... I am going to add a bunch of mass to the board to increase inertial resistance.
Does anybody have a good method for balancing a motor and prop assembly? I am trying to make an android spectrum analyzer app that can be used to perform the four run balancing procedure. In the meantime i would like to figure out some way of doing this.
