What are the meanings of PIDA, PIDE, PIDN, PIDP, PIDR

I’m now logging the PID’s in my dataflash BIN log file.

The wiki has identical information for all five of these sets of logged parameters: “Roll/Pitch/Yaw/Attitude/Steering”

Which set is which?

A-Altitude
E-East
N-North
P-Pitch
R-Roll
S-Steering
Y-Yaw

Excellent Dave, thank you.

Altitude, Pitch, Roll, Yaw - all seem pretty self explanatory.

But for a multi-copter, I’m not sure what East, North and Steering might be.

Can you direct me to a link where I can study up on these?

Many thanks!

Steering doesn’t apply but North(South) and East(West) does. Some of these I confirmed for myself. For example by graphing PIDE>actual vs PSCE>Velocity which I know to be an East/West metric.

You’re right about Steering - PIDS isn’t in my BIN file.

Yea, I see it in my Rover logs.

There is also Down.
So Pitch Roll Yaw and Altitude are operating in attitude control
and East North Down are operating in position control
