Idiot's guide to CLI tuning

Hi all,

I would like to change the rate at which my Y6 ascends and descends in althold which I believe involves changing the parameters of PILOT_VELZ_MAX. Having never delved into CLI before I’m a tad nervous about upsetting the current set up as she flies really really well.

I have searched so I do apologise if I’ve missed it but is there an easy to follow guide for doing this? I’m using Pixhawk on a Y6 Sky Hero Spy.

Thanks in advance.

Peter.

You can’t tune via the CLI. CLI provides only test functions. Tuning is done via the respective tuning pages in Mission Planner / APM-Planner 2.

Thanks Stefan.

So where it mentions PILOT_VELZ_MAX in the attached, do I adjust the throttle rate as shown on the second attachment?

You need to alter PILOT_VELZ_MAX on the parameters page, not the page shown in your second attachment. those are control loop gains, not the rate of climb.

Yup, in the Full Parameter List.

Many thanks Stu and Stefan, will do that tomorrow…
