Hello, I am new to quads and especially new to Arducopter. I bought an APM 2.7.2, 3DR telemetry unit and Neo6 GPS unit. I installed everything in my quad to replace my KK2.1 board. I got everything somewhat working, but I have major oscillation. I am not exactly sure what settings to change and adjust. I attempted to do the Autotune function, however I don’t think it worked very well if at all. I don;t think it ever finished the autotune. I attached a screen shot of my PID menue screen, which is just a default setting I loaded. Any help and advice on which PID’s to adjust would be greatly appreciated.
Latest update, I have refined some of the tuning after speaking with the company I bought my board from. Seems the default parameters I loaded were way off… It is able to fly somewhat steady now. I am continuing to work on it in order to understand how PID tuning works. I will once I get it refined enough to fly well enough be trying out the auto tune function to further refine its flight characteristics.
Question:
When activating auto trim function ( holding arm sequence additional 10 - 15 second after arm, red and blue LED’s flash rapidly ) It seems that the quad becomes very unstable. Yawing about everywhere and extrememly uncontrollable. I had no trim’s set up in the TX at all, was just trying the feature out to see if trimming would correct some of my drift in stability mode. Am I in doing the process wrong or is this normal for it to act like this?
