April 09, 2015Know How... 138: Towers Time Forgot, PID Settings, and Feedback
Learn about the Microwave Radio Relay Skyawy, RasOSMC is awesome, PID settings for your quadcopter, eBook reader that's not a Kindle, getting NAT'ed by your ISP, and a map of no drone fly drones.

Let's talk PID
P = "Proportional Gain Coefficient"
P addresses the algorithm responsible for balancing the input from the pilot with the data from the sensors.
It "wants" to level the sensors

A higher P setting makes the craft more reactive to angular change

A lower P setting will make the craft most "sluggish" and less apt to "snap" back to level

The takeaway is that the higher your P setting, the more your FC will fight to keep the craft level. If your P is too high, you'll typically see oscillations in the craft as the controller constantly overcorrects its angle to level.
I = "Integral Gain Coefficient"
I addresses the algorithm responsible for balancing the corrections from P... over time.
It wants to "spread out" the corrections that the P value is pushing through the FC

A higher I setting will stretch out the corrections from P over a longer period of time

A lower I setting will enact the P corrections quickly
The takeaway is that the higher the I settings, the more smoothly your craft will move
If your craft wobbles during descent, your I setting is too low.

If your craft wobbles during punch-out, your I setting is too high.
D = "Derivative Gain Coefficient"
D is the algorithm that softens the corrections from P
It wants to "smooth out" the corrections that the P value is pushing through the FC

At a higher setting, it will reduce the input the P value has on the FC as it gets closer to level

The takeaway is that we don't use D.
If you want acro:
High P

Low I

Increased D
If you want smooth and stable:
Low P

High I

Less D
The process for tuning is simple, but can take some time.
Set I & D to "0" (If you're using a KK, you don't have D settings)

Set P to 20 and fly the craft.

If it flies smoothly, increase P by 10 and fly the craft

Repeat step 3 until you start noticing high-frequency oscilations

Back off your P settings by 10. You now have your ideal P setting

Set I to 20 and fly the craft

Practice descent

If it wobbles, increase I - then repeat descent

Repeat step 8
