I am building a drone using an S500 frame to lift a 760g water bottle.
My drone equipment includes:
S3508-380KV motors
3300mAh 6S battery
Pixhawk 6C flight controller
12x5.5 propellers
S500 frame
Foxeer 4-in-1 60A ESC
So far, I have focused on making the drone lightweight. The weight of my drone, excluding the battery, is 792g, and the battery weighs 436g. I’m lifting two water bottles, weighing 380g each (760g total). This is where the problem arises. The flight is unstable, vibrations occur, and the vibe on the Z-axis increases, causing the drone to ascend. I have attached my PID and log bin files.
To do a methodic configuration and tuning without missing any step and in the fastest, less error prone sequence, use the ArduPilot methodic configurator software instead of mission planner.
It saves you a lot of trial and error. But it does take around two hours of concentration. Are you capable of doing that?
