auto level, is not level
very new to quads, building qav250 with naze32,osdoge (stackedw/naze),4s,2300kv no fpv equip installed, right now..and taranis+.
so really I have 2 problems 1) on take off,(2-3 inches) starts to shake and wobble violently, playing with pid’s got better but still on heavy load (70% throttle) still shakes hard and sum times stops running mid flight and falls from the sky..
this one has had me looking high and low for answer.
2) after calibration in baseflight (accelerometers) go to fly and in acro? (hard or free flight) it flies great, problem is I’m not very confident in my skill level, so when I switch to either mode for auto level it dives hard to front and right, I found some info on a “manual tune auto level” and it doesn’t seem to help. it does change direction but not level, any help would be appreciated
Hi Derrick, I noticed that you are running a loop time of 2500 instead of the stock 3500. is there a reason for this?
I recommend that you run the stock settings as you said you are new to the hobby. If you lower the loop time you will also have to lower your PID values.
If it is flying good at low throttle but shaking at high throttle, try adding some TPA-Throttle pid Attenuation—-That will lower the pids as the throttle gets higher but it is more of a fix for improper tuning or pushing the limits of PIDS, again, not for beginners.
Hi Derick,
Can you tell us what your pids are? You can go to the CLI tab and type “dump” and hit enter. then copy and paste the info here.
What ESC are you using? That can help us better troubleshoot your PIDS.
You might have another issue going besides PIDS- such as a vibration that is causing the issues in your rig. This can cause all sorts of problems like the ones that you are experiencing.
Auto level should work, make sure that you calibrate your accelerometer while the QUAD is on a level surface.
Did you change your board orientation? the gold arrow on the Naze32 should point towards the front of the quad.
We are looking forward to your reply.
esc’s are BL Heli 20 amp,i have calibrated on balanced table in baseflight, also manualy with taranis(L stick left and down, R stick down for gyro. and L stick up and left, R stick down for acc) .board was at 90 on qav and baseflight, changed to 0 today and no change.
the pids ill have to put in, no drivers work for windows 10 that i found. so been using pc at my office, a real pain.
