PID settings for TBS Disco (2.9.1.)

Posted by Markus Horeld on April 3, 2013 at 10:28pm

These are the PID settings for my TBS Discovery. I am using a special version of Arducopter 2.9.1. made for the "spider shaped" Disco frame. Maiden Video here: http://youtu.be/N1_pTub-H4Y. Exact angles and information here: http://fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?9469-APM-2.X-with-TBS-DISCOVERY&p=223141&viewfull=1#post223141

    I´m just like you.....

    buy all the parts (APM, sonar, 433mhz telemetry, gps...and never get this thing work like it should. I have asked for help several times in this forum but..... Just have all in a box (to sell) and keep flying with the NAZA!

    I have, but haven't tried it yet. It only alters yaw_factor and not motor angles, should work much better.

    @Dimitri: Maybe you are right. But I till now I had no need to try it. I am flying your angle settings (http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/offset-x-frame-configs-just-chang...) at it's doing it very well. Only going hard backwars seems to be a little problem. Have you seen the "V frame option" in the 2.9.1b?

    Haven't flown my Disco for some time now but I'm consistently finding different roll/pitch values for spider-style (or anything with longitudinal CG really) copters. I'm pretty sure we should be running lower Roll values than Pitch (unlock pitch roll), I think its to do with having less mass along its axis.

    @Dean: You can kill that drift via auto/save trim: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_AutoTrim?wl=en

    Yes, mine is stable. Have you tried to lower rate P and/or rate D? I got my tuning values through "DaveC tuning" (http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/arducopter-tuning-guide). Values are for sure different if your copter weighs more or less than mine (which carries a GoPro and a 3200mAh/4s battery).

    @basshead: Yes.

    @Wagner: Any new information about the "V frame" setting? (I am still using my "TBS Disco" firmware with the special angles setting (as you have seen here http://youtu.be/N1_pTub-H4Y) and I am quite happy with it.)

    Did you get an answer?

  • Markus Horeld April 4, 2013 at 9:51pm

    Yes, it's part of the 2.9.1b Arducopter as I saw yesterday. But I don't understand it :(

    Do you? Is there a documentation or discussion about it somwhere on diydrones?
