and the quad instantly turned tighter around the pylon. or I would overshoot the pylon by a few feet and lose some time as the quad got back on on the "rails" and proceeded. start the turn early (because the quad would drift a little past the desired turning point as it was carrying so much speed).

like trying to get around a pylon but turn on a dime around it.

Well - on extremely high threshold turnarounds (trying to go from full speed into a very fast but clean banked turn). to the point that I can feel if the battery has shifted in the quad. Recently entered the world of QUADS - I fly line of sight and on the absolute edge of performance. I come from a world of RC racing and also 3d planes and helis. I fly on the absolute edge when I'm tuning.

THANK YOU! MODS should pin this! This list is EPIC! Thank you Voodoo! #10 - If you want a more robotic feel to your quad, Increase I for pitch and roll. #9 - Oscillations with high throttle only. Increase D or Lower P. You will have to try it with both pitch and roll #6 - If nose wanders with throttle then increase anti-gravity gain

#5 - If nose wanders without increase in throttle then increase I gain. If there is movement then add anti-gravity gain. If the angle of the tilt is not holding, then increase I for roll. #2 - If you are pitched and going forward and the angle of your pitch changes, Increase I on pitch. If the quad overshoot and then bounce back, Increases D for the affect axis. Example, don't tune without a GoPro if you are planning to use a GoPro. Remember, always tune with new props and how you would normally fly with setup. This cheatsheet are things I have written down from what I learned over the years. I wish I had a cheatsheet like this when I was starting to tuning. For myself, I actually tune according to the Betaflight PID tuning wiki.īut even after following the guide, I will still have oscillations with certain maneuvers.

With a minor amount of code changes you can map your channels and ranges to have your remote working perfectly.I am not here to write another tutorial about PID tuning. You can also use your trainer port on the receiver if you don’t have a receiver with PPM output.

Now I can connect my PPM capable receiver to the Arduino, which is connected to my PC and detected as a Joystick, to play liftoff. I have plenty of Arduino’s lying around and all I needed was about R10 of extra components to make this work (obviously more expensive if you don’t have an arduino, and all the components) I then found this instructable (and I greatly give credit to this guy) which allows me to use my controller with Liftoff. So since my transmitter doesn’t work with the simulator, and I dont have the USB Dongle for my Transmitter anyway (maybe its works then?) I had to figure out a different way to use my Transmitter on the PC. With this I mean if you move the stick 2 cm on a PS3 controller you have reached the max, while a RC transmitter has about 7cm of travel to its extremes, giving you much more room for small adjustments. Playing any RC Simulator with a gamepad isn’t fun at all and really unrealistic as you don’t have to full range of input as you have with an RC Transmitter. Liftoff has some support for certain transmitter (which isnt one which I have – I have Spektrum Dx9). BUT, it did allow me to get an idea of how FPV flying works and how much different it feels to control the quad from FPV compared to LOS flying. The game is currently still in “early release”, so it still has plently of bugs and limited features. Anyway, I found LiftOff, a FPV Flying Simulator on Steam. Because I don’t just have loads of money to spend, I decided to first try out FPV Flying with a Simulator – just to see if I enjoy the concept of FPV Flying and if I can actually master it, before spending thousands of Rands on expensive gear and then deciding it’s not meant for me…. I do however have my own build quadcopter with which I currently only fly LOS (Line of Sight). At this moment I can’t afford all the gear I need to start FPV Racing. This way you can use your favourite Transmitter, and use it on simulators (or even other games) on your pc that supports Joytick inputs.Īs I’m starting out with quadcopter hobby I started gaining interest in FPV Racing.

This post will explain how to use an Arduino to act as a USB Joystick on your computer by taking the input of a PPM device such as a Remote Controller with a trainer port, or a Remote Control Receiver that has PPM output.
