PID is not difficult. It is very time consuming to get it right. It is a straightforward mathematical calculation. The dynamic reactionin the real world makes it hard.
If you have an electronic thermostat at home it is PID controlled. So is your oven.

Hi.
I apologize in advance if there are other posts relating to my query for I am very new to this and may not have understood all that I have read.

I am looking at the arduIMU+ V2 for a project that will require measuring pitch and roll, and have a couple digital input and outputs. I do not plan on using a gps, compass, or any other sensors (yaw not needed) and will be happy to modify and/or wri

This is my first discussion and would like to thank everyone for the helpful discussions it have helped me tremendously so far. But I now have come to a dead end.
Please can someone steer me in a direction I am sure that I miss something simple here.

I'm using non-Mega Ardupilot with non-Mega ArduIMU+ V2 now. I need more channels to control, so APM looks nice for me. Is it possible to replace AP with APM, leaving old ArduIMU+ in place ? I know the new IMU is much more precise and full of feat
Hi All,
I am doing the first test with my new APM :)
Leds are Ok.
Gps starts saying -1 sat and then 0 sat but gives the correct coordinates, is it ok ?
My problem is with the radio setup.

Hi all
I am building aflight controller for my thesis project. I understand that I will need a microcontroller to controller the sensors such as IMU, alitimeter, pressure snensor, GPS etc. But my supervisor wnts me to look at CPU as well.

My Arducopter is built and flying, but I'm crashing on most my flights. Here are the issues:
Hi,
Hellow all! this is my first post here!
Im a novice from Taiwan.
I cant find any info about APM in taiwan.
so I come here ......but my english is not pretty good
maybe I've found what I want but I missed it.......
hope anyone can answer my little quest
I'm looking for some ideas as to why my system isn't quite working.
Hi,
after soldering i checked the resistance between all neighbouring pins to make sure i did not make a connection between 2 pins whilst soldering.
all are ok, except the 2 pins marked in attached image.
when i check those, my multimeter beeps, which
