Hello,
Im having hard time trying to configure PID in my Arducopter. Im using Ardupirates code but as i do know PID's are that same in Ardupirates and Arducopter code, so maybe some of you guys can help me a bit.
My Quad have 50 cm motor-motor distance

it is half transparent and indeed you can see 4 cells inside.
the balance plug reads 3.85v for each of the 3 first cells, and 0.05v for the last cell.
the main wires reads 11.5v....
which is clearly the 4th cell is totally empty
