Hi,
I am using a dual motor non vectored tailsitter. I was wondering if I can use the Yaw Damper described in Plane Documentation. My platform does not have a rudder but has differential thrust.
yes you can use differential thrust for yaw control.
That is great! Thanks a lot! Do I need to configure anything especially for that or just follow the procedure described for planes?
I think that documentation might be out of date.
https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/yaw-in-plane.html
If twin engines are used (THROTTLE LEFT and THROTTLE RIGHT output functions), then the pilot and ArduPilot can use differential thrust to produce yaw in Plane, or in QuadPlanes when in fixed wing modes, if using twin/quad forward motors for fixed wing flight modes. This is enabled by setting RUDD_DT_GAIN to a non-zero value.
Oh I see, so I suspect that the only values that need tuning are RUDD_DT_GAIN and KFF_RDDRMIX. Am I missing anything?
Also KFF_RDDRMIX tuning is described, but what about RUDD_DT_GAIN? The default is 10 but couldn’t find any info on how to tune.
