Pixhawk AutoTune How To

Auto tune Is a process you can use to make your pixhawk dynamically update is pid without you having to do anything! I have had good success with the px4 autotune teachers.
As I said in the video here is my telemetry setup video: • Setup telemetry on you...

Went thru the process with my fairly recently built T960 hexacopter. Finally had a day with no wind. It flies so much smoother now. Previously, it was so aggressive with starting and stopping, it looked like it was going to go completely out of control (sometimes, especially stopping). I feel more confident with it now. Thanks.

[@Cmensailing]

You're view are awesome ! Keep up the great work! You explain all that is needed really well. Thank you!

[@builtfromhome9207]

Thank you I'm glad it can help. More to come!

[@22Tech]

thank you! that was very helpful. I was planning on autotuning a quadplane i just built

[@GargoyleDrones]

GREAT! Video explaining the process!!!! Thanks!!!

[@soumitradey8208]

Thanks a lot! Great help

[@airfilm_it]

Great video thanks!! I just need to know the ideal parameters od pids before autotune..i had the maiden flight (orange cube) last day with bad results (Altitude hold and stabilized).. My craft is quite big, quad copter with T motor 490kv U7, and 6s with 18"

[@panchampatel1]

Hi can you please tell me about your landing gear setup? That would be super helpful.

[@dou8letap82]

Wow pixhawk.. didn't know those relics were still around!

[@fpvkabo]

On extended Tuning, Under RC7 Opt dropdown I get blank, (no options) I've got a toggle on ch 7 moves in receiver tab and is calibrated in, what gives?

[@jackwritter1302]

The riser that the flight controller is sitting on, where can i find one for my 650?

[@arghyadas5789]

does the quadcopter uses gps when its performing autotune ??...plz reply and thanks for making the video

[@husseinsleiman6119]

I am working with qground control and powerbox systen rc controller. Do you have an idea how to setup the switch to activate the autotune during flight? Thank you in advance

[@randygrinter2800]

Nice videos! Thank you! Did you set the Rate Roll and Pitch filters to 10hz (in Copter-3.3 these are RATE_RLL_FILT_HZ and RATE_PIT_FILT_HZ, in Copter-3.4 they are ATC_RAT_RLL_FILT, ATC_RAT_PIT_FILT) as per Ardupilot Copter for large copters? I have the same copter as you with the Cube, 15" props, and I still had oscillations. But haven't tried the 10 hz. Thanks again for your videos.

[@builtfromhome9207]

Interesting... I will look into that! thanks!

[@shefqetlulja8511]

In my quadcopter i get randomly EKF ground mag anomaly(very danger cause copter acting wired), should i recalibrate it even that the pixhawk has a global magnitude database and no need for compass calibration they said

[@sanperez313]

Did you also set up the harmonic notch filters before this auto-tune? I am trying to auto-tune, however, I keep getting this error: "not able to level, please manual tune".

[@sssundaram8888]

Do you have a video on manual tune on pixhawk4

[@madladdan]

We've gotten this to work on one quad but with our other quad the tune gets stuck on yaw_p 0.500?

[@comptebanni8640]

ok, but does it flip of death as my dji naza ?

[@arghyadas5789]

consider my 5th channel is selected to loiter and i took off with loiter then through 6th channel i switch to autotune ...will that be okay to try ??

[@doitchannel67]

How to choose auto tune switch can you explain pls

[@amarnath2935]

Nice

[@santhoshmamidisetti]

I don't have telemetry , can I still do this ??

[@reegeecajes9343]

how to do this using apm 2.8?

[@Chmied]

What if i cant get 15 minutes of flight time? Running 4S 6000mah's, and only get about 8 minutes.

[@SubratRed]

1) Powered the drone with 3s 2200mAh battery.
2) ESCs make initial sound(Don't know if anyone is not making).
3) After sometime, can see 2,3,4 motors rattling a bit with each beep, except motor 1 and no beep with motor 1 ESC.
4) Using Pixhawk, after arming when I fly the drone tilts on the motor 1 side, but motor1 rotates.
5) For this reason, I have lost my props of motor 1 twice. Please help.

esc calibration

[@Paiadakine]

Thanks for this video. What if your drone cannot fly for 15 minutes?

[@Paiadakine]

I found out you can auto tune one axis at a time. Autotune_axes parameter.
