I plug the APM in, boot goes as normal, but green led stays on. Nothing will work except CLI.

does anyone have working PID setting for the fibreglass frame from Jakub?
I have really bad oscillations in pitch and roll axis. I already lowered the P value to 3.2 and 3.0 on both. The oscillation is still there.
Kind regards,
