Mini hex + autotune = success.

Posted by Euan Ramsay on September 8, 2014 at 5:21am

Slapped together a factory-fresh mini hex with HK APM mini + 3DR ublox, balanced the props, fired it up in the air and ran autotune, in a breezy day. Over tuned with the factory settings, but flying ok now - just needs a tweak here and there.

This is the result. Needs  bit of D I think, to stablise it a bit. Maybe more aggressive control in pitch to stop the high frequency oscillations?

Will upload settings once I get home. 3.2rc7, factory fresh build.

    No logs though - somewhere on the journey to 3.2rc7 and MP 1.3.9 I seem to have lost the ability to download logs and I can't get my head around the new log system - I used to just enable IMU, MOTOR, CURR, but have no idea what the number sequence is.

    Hi Justin,

    Yeah, I guess I can. Will be a few days until I get more air time.

    I'll be uploading PIDs and pictures shortly.

    Can you show an auto mission say with some loiter points in it? Also can you give more information on the hexacopter itsself, and perhaps a photo of the aircraft? Thanks!

    Hey Euan – Care to share your PIDs after the auto tune?
