Vibrations

Posted by Felipe Rabat on April 1, 2015 at 5:34pm

Just a noob question; how much vibration is acceptable?  Here is the chart from the last flight...  Is this OK?

    X & Y looks real good. 

    However I see some instability in all axis around roughly 3 minutes to 5 minutes.  I suspect that you were providing flight inputs for that period of time.

    Based on what you provided, it does appear that your vibration levels are adequate. I would recommend you record and review your copter in Loiter mode with little to no wind in order to get a truer reading.

      Yeah, it probably was when I was moving the copter around a bit (min 3 to minute 5).  Not rapid movements, but movements none the less.

    Was that a steady hover or were you flying around?

    Here's a good page for analyzing vibration levels:

      iI was in hover, but it seems I am well within the acceptable range then...
