@JoshuaBardwell I watch so many of your videos on PID tuning and I take all kinds of notes on things like "If you see X, Try this or that". While watching the videos it all makes sense. Unfortunately when I get out in the field it NEVER plays out that easy! I've recently upgraded my quads to BLheli_S and Betaflight 2.9 and I feel like I'm running into scenarios that I just don't have notes on. I have blackbox setup and I'm trying to work through it but I sometimes feel I'm just spinning my wheels and changing things for the sake of changing things =/ I hope something clicks soon.
Maybe try watching my Practical PID Tuning playlist? Once you can tune a copter visually, you will run into problems that you can then look up in Blackbox to see how they are manifesting.
Hey Joshua, I've watched a pile of your videos. Trying to figure out my tune, but it all keeps dodging me. Would you be able to take a look at my data?
Joshua Bardwell. Wow that was fast, lol. So I start with low p and d, work my p up till I think it's right by eye and feel. The thing that I can't figure out is that point where I need to stop. I can get it to stop the bounce back, but I can't seem to get it to go the other way. The too much p. Maybe I'm being too picky, but I want to start dropping the filters, but I want my tune right first. Also I've heard that I should run higher rates to make the quad show more when tuning. I originally had the realacc x210, and that thing tuned amazingly. I now have the awk210, and just can't seem to get it. Any help would be great.
+JayBird FPV recent versions of Betaflight steel really good at preventing oscillations. You can pretty much put P as high as you like. Pay attention to propwash oscillation for signs of high P. Other than that, put it where it feels like you like.
Thanks a million. What I wouldnt give to sit down with you for an hour.
I could read 1000 posts and not learn that much.
Glad to be of help.

Love the videos and after watching this one I have some work to do
+Mike24boyle One change at a time, see if it makes things better or worse. Fly methodically when you're tuning, don't just thrash it for fun.

What don't you like about the way your quad is flying?

Ok thanks Joshua. I will try again tonight.
