Quadcopter oscillation and tuning

Hi , I have made a quadcopter using customised frame with Hobbywing x6 prop motor with 23 inch propeller , at 1st the drone oscillates a lot , then i manually reduced the pid values and the oscillation reduced a lot ,but still there are oscillations in it , can someone help me to reduce and can i try autotune with it , i have changed the values of psc_accz_p , psc_accz_i according to the manual but the drones altitude drops up and down so then i set it back to default and changed altitude to GPS, and i cant able to attain a stable flight in althold mode , i have attached the last log i flew.please help me to test further

You should follow a sequence of steps know to lead to correctly configured and tuned vehicles once you do that, post questions here. We can help.

Yes I followed the steps

Then you know that you can not autotune it without doing the steps described.

Post the files generated by the Ardupilot Methodic configurator, so that we can evaluate how good you did the steps, and what might be the issue.

sir , i didnt use methodic configurator , but i have followed all the steps in Tuning — Copter documentation , i didnt know how to use methodic configurator

The methodic configurator:

  • has steps that are missing from the tuning guide
  • an explicit sequence instead of an implicit one
  • it automates some things so that you need to do less work
  • because of automation you are likely to do less errors.

The methodic configurator is both easy to use AND has documentation.

What is your excuse for not using it? Do you want a working vehicle or not?

Today i tried methodic configurator and configured the drone , will do a flight test tommorow and will update you sir

How easy was to use it?

Did it present you the relevant documentation when you needed it?

Was there any documentation missing?
