Tuning Method

1

Start with default PID values for your drone type.

2

Raise P until you get oscillation, then back off 10%.

3

Raise D until high-frequency wobble appears, then back off 10%.

4

Raise I until the drone holds attitude perfectly, but stop before wobble.

5

Test with aggressive maneuvers — flips, rolls, punch-outs.

6

Fine-tune: adjust in 5% increments. One axis at a time.

Issue Diagnosis

PID Quick Reference

P (Proportional) — Immediate response strength. Too high = oscillation. Too low = mushy.

I (Integral) — Error accumulation over time. Fixes drift. Too high = bounce-back/windup.

D (Derivative) — Dampens / predicts. Reduces overshoot. Too high = high-freq wobble, motor heat.

How to Use

  1. Select your drone type for recommended starting PID values.
  2. Choose your flight controller firmware.
  3. Enter these values into your FC configurator as starting points.
  4. Follow the tuning method — adjust one parameter at a time.
  5. Use the issue diagnosis section if you encounter specific flight problems.
