Finished tuning the VTail 400 today. Flying great using the PID settings from MultiWii_2_3 - FLIP - VTail400 - 18-02-2014.mwi file. Yaw rate increased to 0.3
Should those PID numbers be “near” ideal settings? Cause I’m already a point or two above for P and wondering if it’s normal to stray further and further away from what the norm should be.
Heading back to the park after work today for more testing.
They are mostly base setting that can change.
Middle between T-Motor and Base setup and quite mild.
If you have your settings feeling better, than it’s better…
You can Save your settings and upload it there once your happy, we can put them on the website for people to use it.
I’m using the PID settings from the file, no change. I made changes to the rates to bump up the response. It’s flying good and I’m happy with the PID settings for now. I have the T-Motor set-up. I’m interested in PID values others are using.
Ya, I’ve seen that, I was curious what he set that to, same for the rates there at the left, what are those set to? This is kinda what I’m struggling with, I just started adjusting PIDs, I’m wondering if instead of messing with the PIDs, if I should be adjusting rates instead.
We do not have a specific “T-Motor” PID file at the moment, just the basic one.
The Rate will not provide you with a more stable flight, just increase or decrease the reaction from your transmitter sticks inputs.
You can get a good answer about the “Rate” from the creator of MultiWii “Alesinparis” in this forum post: Well understand RC RATE et P/R rate
Fun flying VTail 400 this morning. After I used up my smaller Lipo’s, my son Nich and I tie wrapped a Mobius camera to the Vtail and strapped on a big heavy battery and took the following footage:
