Looking or the Holy Grail of PID's
So, another test flight, with some less wind above my favorite rice field. If anything goes wrong, a wet but soft landing and a sure but muddy recovery
Changed back to CF Vision Style Props, they are very jerky in high winds, but do ok in moderate and no wind. One T Motor (just a few flights
) has developed a bad sounding bearing.
Although the SimpleBGC manual states you need to increase D to decrease low frequency oscillations, which I think I have in my previous videos, I tried decreasing them.
This sort of helps. Stability is improving, but still vibes and a bit of slow oscillation, aka wobble.
Did an advanced calibration again, horizon still drifting but a bit better.
Current SimpleBGC settings:
PID:
ROLL: 30,0.35,16
PITCH 12,0.35,14
YAW 14,0.3,14
Motor Config:
ROLL: 106
PITCH 66
YAW 84
GYRO THRUST 94
Follow Yaw Deadband 6 degrees.
Balls used: 6 soft black ones, and two blue balls from my Goodluckbuy gimbal, since I tore a black soft one up, they are like chewing gum don't you think?
I janked the Phantom around a bit, this was not a lets go slow flight.
Next will be decreasing D even more I guess, add a little P?

Shot with Gopro at 60fps, video cut and saved at 30fps.
Ow, if its not in the settings, you have to buy a better quad.
