Gyro filtering confirmation

Can someone please review my log file and suggest whether it is good or bad? After landing, the motor temperature will be slightly higher for two minutes flight.

It’s terrible. Outputs are oscillating badly. But, no surprise as the PID’s and vertical acceleration controller gains are at DEFAULT
Arducopter Tuning Process Instructions

Can you please tell me want is the best value for my gyro tuning like (INS_HNTCH_FREQ, INS_HNTCH_BW, INS_HNTCH_ATT, INS_HNTCH_REF, INS_HNTCH_FM_RAT)? PLEASE

No, it’s pointless to set the notch filter until you have done the most basic of tuning. Like fixing the output oscillation.
And, if you are resistant to follow the Arducopter Tuning Guides then go here:
Methodic Configurator

Click the link, follow the process.

I find it confusing to use the methodic configurator. I’m very new to ArduPilot. Is there an easier way to tune?

This my electronic and components

7-inch Mark 4 frame

- Microair 743v2 stack with 55A ESC

- HGLRC M100 Pro GPS (connected to Serial 6)

- ELRS receiver Gemini (connected to Serial 3)

- Radiomaster Pocket with Nomad external module

- 6S LiPo battery (150C)

“Easier” is a matter of opinion but the Arducopter Tuning Guide is comprehensive.

I really need your help, and I’m feeling quite stressed about it. I only have four days left to submit my project, and if I can’t get it done, I’m afraid I might fail the exam. Your support would mean so much to me right now. Thank you!'t get it done, I’m afraid I might fail the exam. Your support would mean so much to me right now. Thank you!

If you like Videos follow this build series from an Ardu Developer for a 7" similar to your craft. There is plenty of content on Tuning. 7" LR Build

Could you please share the link to that video? :blush: It looks like they used a lot of the components from an FPV drone! Thank you!

I just want to do waypoint navigation :pleading_face:

I am from India. I am not fluent in the English language.

No need to post again until you have made some attempt at tuning. What good is that as a project if you didn’t learn anything?

I’ve been working on this project for over two months now, and I’ve logged more than 200 entries about my drone. As we near the project deadline, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and would really appreciate your support. Thank you for understanding! :folded_hands:

I’ll get you started to reduce the output oscillation which looks like this:


Note the CTUN-Tho also as it will be used in the following parameter changes.

  1. Reduce the Rate Roll/Pitch PID’s by half.
  2. set the following parameters:
    MOT_PWM_TYPE,6
    PSC_ACCZ_I,0.08
    PSC_ACCZ_P,0.04

Go here, follow the process Setting Motor Ranges

Ah, you followed Rosser’s guides huh? No wonder you are 2 months in and still don’t even have the most basic of tune completed. They have failed you as they have others. Stick to guides published by Ardupilot and their Developers.

After making these changes review section 7.1.1 of the Methodic Configurator for how to deal with output oscillation. You need to graph this data yourself and do the work to fix it.

What os confusing in the ArduPilot methodic configurator software?
What part don’t you get?

Is the language complex? Are there terms you don’t get? What is it?

Have you seen the youtube videos explaining step by step how to use it?

Instead of posting your hardware information on this thread, enter it in the component editor window of the ArduPilot methodic configurator software. Then the software will set 80 parameters correctly for you. That is 80 parameters less that you have to worry about.

It sounds very good, and this will really help me. I have one question: since I’m using an ELRS receiver for both control and MAVLink, and I’m using the same receiver with a transmitter backpack, which serial port should I select for telemetry? Should it be the same as the RC receiver?

Yes, the same serial port
