"Leonard,

 I just read your last paragraph. Not sure why I missed it before. Do you mean it maxed out PIDs, or it maxed out the actual tuning process? If the latter is the case, it may be due to it being a bit gusty while I was trying to tune. It…"

"Thanks Leonard.
 Basic info: RCT 550 hex frame, RCT 2812-1000kv motors, RCT 10x4.5 CF props, 2-3000mah 3s e-flite in parallel, about 2020gm AUW. GoPro and gimbal are not on right now. I probably need a little bigger motors, but it's what I've got…"

"Is there info in the log that could tell me what PIDs were when autotune stopped. I had almost finished, but it took 12 minutes and the battery died. I'd rather not kill another battery, so I was hoping I could find the settings that it was last on…"

Barrett Floyd replied to Barrett Floyd's discussion Mission Planner 1.3.1 and APM 3.2 rc1 won't open in terminal
"Just reinstalled 3.1.4. Terminal works normally again. This was on my bare board, and I wasn't able to do an erase/reset because of the fact that I couldn't get terminal to work with 3.2rc1. Mod, should this be moved to the APM forum?"
