conceptual tuning model for newbie

Posted by Stefano Santucci on October 24, 2012 at 4:10am

i am trying to deeply understand different parameter of PID settings etc. etc. (and probably i am not the unique one)

i have drow down the conceptual model below try to represent different arms length, ardupilot position, and barycentre/weight

3690967497?profile=original

may be there are some other problems dimension i ignore at the moment or there are some not useful i put in (i can update the picture of course if needed)

can any guru/developer try to simplify relation between physical frame setup and ardupilot parameter?

may be there is something similar in the forum but i was not able to find it

tks to everybody

    Someone posted a great link to teh Openpilot site with a very good video tutorial on PID tuning that shows clearly what bad tuning looks like.

    I found it very helpful.

    OpenPilot: PID Tuning

    I just checked teh link and it seems to broken, or their site is down, but I will leave this here in case it comes back up.

    I also would like know how to tune my copter better. I've read the forums and played with PIDs with poor results. I understand we can't possible cover all the different frames or configurations. But the standard quad and hex sold by 3D Robotics should be well documented on what happens when you change PIDs. Thanks Richard
