Upgrading to PixHawk from APM 2.5

Hello all,

I have installed/upgraded to the PixHawk and configured everything and went of for my first flight tonight. I wanted to try the Autotune method, but it was too windy, and the default settings didn’t provide enough control in FBWA for me to comfortably control it in the wind.

Just wondering about the PID settings during this upgrade to the PixHawk… the airframe and all other variables are the same, so would the PIDs we had tuned on the APM be a good starting point for PID settings on the PH?

Thanks!

Hi Warren,
yes, the PID settings should be the same. There are some changed default parameters between APM2.x and Pixhawk (such as different default LOG_BITMASK), but most parameters are the same.
