Using a new YouTube tutorial series by Chris Rosser, I’ve had some success using the web based ArduPilot PID Review Tool to find good PID values. It worked really well - Thanks DEVs for creating this tool!
I’ve been unable to find documentation on this tool - can someone please direct me to any that exists?
Here are some of questions I’d like to find answers:
- Which of the LOG_BITMASK options are required to use all the features of the PID Review Tool?
As these options can create very large log files, I’d like to keep the ones I use to a minimum. (My carrier board restricts access to the SD card - so I have to use the USB connection which can bog down to a standstill on large log files.)
-
What is the difference between the three choices for each axis?
-
How can the PID Review Tool be used to measure the correctness of the Angular Gain and the Max Acceleration values. For example these set by AutoTune:
One interesting thing I’ve deduced by using the PID Review Tool is that the Step Response Chart will show all three axis for a flight - it doesn’t appear to only show the plots for only the axis selected at the top of the page. So to best use the Step Response chart, it’s best to limit the test flights to movements on a single axis.
Thank you
