Feed forward control loop on a copter?

I’m thinking of experimenting with feed forward controls using ArduCopter, and I wonder if anyone has attempted it before.

I’m planning to use airspeed sensors (commonly used on planes) to detect lateral cross wind in order to improve lateral positional accuracy.

Any suggestions, discussions and advices are welcome and appreciated :slight_smile:

We do have the odd feed-forward in our code :slight_smile:

OK, there’s been a PR to add airspeed sensors to ArduCopter already:

Well… we do have an L1 controller for Plane we’ve often thought would be
useful for Helicopters :slight_smile:

You might like to look at how we generate our wind vector estimates:

Oh thanks! I will look into it. love the user name by the way @peterbarker are you from the spider universe? hah
