That check box is not “locking” the PID’s from being changed it simply indicates if pitch and roll are equal. PID’s do not change during normal flight in any mode. Unless you call Auto Tune a mode.
I did read it. I am working on the drone stability more than 3 month. I did read and test almost everything. But the reason is the same: after many elaborations I reset to the factory settings, Than change parameters following the propeller length and slowly change PIDs until copter is stable. Now I add payload and test the fly. After several take off drone starts be unstable… Nobody knows how it is possible and after check settings PIDs are different (withaut autotune). I am despearing.
Did you change these based on the change in weight?
For aircraft designed to carry large directly mounted payloads, the maximum values of ATC_ACCEL_P_MAX, ATC_ACCEL_R_MAX and ATC_ACCEL_Y_MAX should be reduced based on the minimum and maximum takeoff weight (TOW):
There is no functionality to do this. Think about how dangerous that would be if it was possible… Only Autotune, In-flight tuning (which has to be specifically configured) and some LUA applications running on the Transmitter will do this.
Make the 1st hover flight I suggested and post that log. Not much can be learned from the one you posted other than to extract the parameter file.
Hi, I changed PIDs and other settings according our conversation. TOW/MTOW is about 0.6. First start was on LOITER. Drone flight like drunkard. 2020-12-07 13-31-36.bin (666.8 KB)
Could you give me some recommendations?
Thank you
After changing the frame class, recheck the motor order with MissionPlanner motor tests just to be very sure.
Then post you latest .bin log file and we’ll take a look before you do too much more.
The frame is almost X, but the rear and front angle is 40 deg. I suppose that the V is adequate frame type. I can try pure X tomorrow a I will let you know. But as I wrote before, this drones was flying well several weeks ago and suddenly are unstable without any substantial changes. May be vibrations?
I did a fly with Quad on AltHolder. Still it is unstable and waving. Construction is the same as Vcoax octo. Could you give me some advice how to stabilize PIDs?
Thank you. 2020-12-08 10-58-01.log.param (18.6 KB)
