P this, P that, what does it all mean???

[Augerin]

Hi,

I';m trimming out my KK2 equipped quad but have no idea what P gain, P limit, I gain, I limit etc, etc mean. I';ve spent quite some time trawling the WWW but am still none the wiser.  Could someone kindly take the time to explain to an old fartie what these do and how the settings effect changes in the flight performance please?

Also, just an idea, but all you ';old sweats'; know the lingo of the multi, but us new ';erks'; get well and truly lost (at least I do). So if you know your ESC from your OSD, or your SimonK from your Kaptain Kuk could you do a multi dictionary for us newbies please?

Here is a good video explaining the PIDs

Multicopter PI-tuning: How to recognize different settings.

With my t copter it  seems to fly fine using the stock setting.
My question is do I leave it as it is or can I change the settings to make it fly better for FPV?

[firey1]

the added weight and location may affect the flight of you T copter in stock settings so it would be a matter of trying out different settings to give you good response and stability for FPV

I thought someone else asked about an abbreviation dictionary some time ago and one was started.
Not sure if it degenerated into a  "funny ha ha" dictionary and dropped out of sight...though  they usually so do.

Might be a good idea to have one as a "sticky" as I am sure there are a heck of a lot of "readers" out there who could be put off going ahead with  a multi project, by the freely  used  abbreviations and the difficulty of finding out what they mean. 

We';re all in this together you know

the chicken at the end of the gain video is FREAKY.  He';s the chicken that went for a ride on the first DIY KK quadcopter LOL

Thanks for that vid Firey 1 - very useful. 

With you on the dictionary Ross. Coming from fixed wing I had no idea what you guys were talking about at first, and when someone started mentioning mega pirates I nearly shat myself!

Great idea, that would help us newbies loads :-)

Hi all

I';m a newbie and have just joined this Forum for the same help in Multirotors as I still fly planes but I';ve moved over from Heli';s as I wanted a more stable model for camera work.

Please point me in the right direction to get this " dictionary "  to help this ole geezer too   ! ! !   

Cheers all   ~   Eddie.
