Let’s take a look at what low and high PIDs do. This will give you a perspective on what to change when your copter is not behaving the way you want it to behave.
In this video, I set D gain to zero, then I take P gain from 20 to 70 and discuss the differences as I go.

This playlist will culminate with my 1.5 hour PID Tuning Masterclass presentation at the NYC Drone Film Festival on March 18, 2017. (Note: the presentation will be March 18. The video will be uploaded some time later.) In the mean time,
The copter is running Betaflight 3.1.5. The copter is the AllcarbonRC Coyote. https://goo.gl/Fe7dtQ

Hi Joshua. Thanks for your hard work. What were the 2DOF settings (D setpoint weight and transition) during these tests – the defaults? 1.0 and 0.3?
Do you ever have a situation where your P gains are over 100 i have two copters that just seems like they need that much P but haven’t seen it anywhere else i am not sure if my tuning is just way off or that happens sometimes?
I’ll see you there!! We are running the races both indoors and outdoors.
Just wondering, it seems PID tuning is a big topic and something people struggle with the most, what are the chances having an auto tune option within BF? Doesn’t have to be as perfect as a Manuel tune by a pro. Would this even technically be possible?
+Joshua Bardwell – I really like your intro clip on your recent vids – looks good.
Tnx for your vids.
I wonder what happens if you Set everything on 0
very very good!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, so useful !!! But how do you tune directly by OSD, without computer ???
Josh I think you should mention the electronics of this quad and the props just to size up what we’re looking at here.
Hey guys, watching my videos how do you think my tune looks?
Folks if your OSD doesn’t have this feature, I highly recommend the ‘PIDflight’ Android app. It lets you plug your android phone into your quad’s USB port to set PIDs and rates. Much better than taking a laptop outside!
When you say big bounce. I think its safe to say your quad is overshooting!
