Practical PID Tuning - Part 14 - Armattan Armadillo (Take 1)

3,747 Views · Posted 8 years ago

How good of PID tune can I get with JUST TWO BATTERIES? I only had two packs charged, so I decided to find out.

In this session, there are a couple of niggling problems that I simply cannot get rid of. I improve the copter's stability on the yaw axis somewhat, but I'm never really able to get it perfect, even after I raise I gain very high. This is one of the only sessions where I'll show you an example of what excessive I gain looks like!

Ultimately, I think the limitations of this copter have to be blamed on the motors. I say that only because the rest of the copter is simply impeccable: BLheli_S ESCs, F3 betaflight flight controller, etc... However, I can't rule out the fact that I am running a set of pre-production experimental props, and that's why there are TWO sessions for this copter: one for these props and one for a more typical set. (Sorry--I can't tell you what props are on this copter in this video.)

FPV video in this session was recorded with the Quanum Overlord.
