In this series, I take you through the entire process of PID tuning a quadcopter, from the very first maiden to the final tune. In order to make the process accessible to more people, all tuning is done using FPV video only. No Blackbox analysis is used in this process at all, although we will look at the Blackbox logs that result, just for perspective, after the tune is finished.

In part 2 of the series, I continue to work the P gains to determine the range of possible optimal values. Then I see whether raising D gain reduces P term oscillation or not. I also show you how to distinguish the sound of P term oscillations from D term oscillations.
