How to tune the PIDs of your FPV quadcopter
Here is a simple and practical guide on how to adjust the drone’s PIDs. No technical details and small talk. Straight to the point.
- Bounce back on rolls or flip. If the quad overshoot and then bounce back, Increases D for the affect axis.
- If you are pitched and going forward and the angle of your pitch changes, Increase I on pitch. If the angle of the tilt is not holding, then increase I for roll.
- Slow oscillations is too low P term.
- Punch throttle and cut. If there is movement then add anti-gravity gain.
- If nose wanders without increase in throttle then increase I gain. Similar to #2.
- If nose wanders with throttle then increase anti-gravity gain.
- Propwash on hard turn. Increase D or Lower P. You will have to try it with both pitch and roll.
- Sliding out in turn. Increase Yaw I gain.
- Oscillations with high throttle only. Increase TPA.
- If you want a more robotic feel to your quad, Increase I for pitch and roll.
