Every aspect of flight dynamics is controlled by the selected 'PID controller'. This is an algorithm which isresponsible for reacting to your stick inputs and keeping the craft stable in the air by using the gyroscopes and/oraccelerometers (depending on your flight mode).

The 'PIDs' are a set of tuning parameters which control the operation of the PID controller. The optimal PID settingsto use are different on every craft, so if you can't find someone with your exact setup who will share their settingswith you, some trial and error is required to find the best performing PID settings.

I wish I had a cheatsheet like this when I was starting to tuning. Remember, always tune with new props and how you would normally fly with setup. Example, don't. The default PID gains are meant for the 3DR IRIS although they work on a wide variety of frames. Still, to get optimal performance you may need to adjust them which can be done through the Mission Planner’s Config/Tuning Copter Pids screen. The screen shot below shows the most important parameters for Roll/Pitch (yellow), Yaw (orange), Altitude hold (green), Loiter (pink).

A video on how to recognise and correct different flight problems caused by PID settings is available here:

Basically, the goal of the PID controller is to bring the craft's rotation rate in all three axes to the rate thatyou're commanding with your sticks. An error is computed which is the difference between your target rotation rate andthe actual one measured by the gyroscopes, and the controller tries to bring this error to zero.

• For fixed wing, a PIFF controller is used. Some documentation is available in the wiki and legacy release notes.
• The iNav Configurator provides conservative example PID settings for various aircraft types. These will require tuning to a particular machine.

PIDs

The P term controls the strength of the correction that is applied to bring the craft toward the target angle orrotation rate. If the P term is too low, the craft will be difficult to control as it won't respond quickly enough tokeep itself stable. If it is set too high, the craft will rapidly oscillate/shake as it continually overshoots itstarget.

The I term corrects small, long term errors. If it is set too low, the craft's attitude will slowly drift. If it isset too high, the craft will oscillate (but with slower oscillations than with P being set too high).

The D term attempts to increase system stability by monitoring the rate of change in the error. If the error is rapidly converging to zero, the D term causes the strength of the correction to be backed off in order to avoid overshooting the target.

TPA and TPA Breakpoint

TPA stands for Throttle PID Attenuation and according to AlexYork.net:

'TPA basically allows an aggressively tuned multi-rotor (one that feels very locked in) to reduce its PID gains when throttle is applied beyond the TPA threshold/breakpoint in order to eliminate fast oscillations.'

Note that TPA is set via CLI or on the PID TUNING tab of the GUI. tpa_breakpoint is set via CLI

Also note that TPA and tpa_breakpoint may not be used in certain PID Controllers. Check the description on the individual controller.

TPA applies a PID value reduction in relation to full Throttle. It is used to apply dampening of PID values as full throttle is reached.

TPA = % of dampening that will occur at full throttle.

tpa_breakpoint = the point in the throttle curve at which TPA will begin to be applied.

An Example: With TPA = 50 (or .5 in the GUI) and tpa_breakpoint = 1500 (assumed throttle range 1000 - 2000)

• At 1500 on the throttle channel, the PIDs will begin to be dampened.
• At 3/4 throttle (1750), PIDs are reduced by approximately 25% (half way between 1500 and 2000 the dampening will be 50% of the total TPA value of 50% in this example)
• At full throttle (2000) the full amount of dampening set in TPA is applied. (50% reduction in this example)
• TPA can lead into increase of rotation rate when more throttle applied.

Pid Tuning Basics

How and Why to use this?

If you are getting oscillations starting at say 3/4 throttle, set tpa breakpoint = 1750 or lower (remember, this is assuming your throttle range is 1000-2000), and then slowly increase TPA until your oscillations are gone. Usually, you will want tpa breakpoint to start a little sooner then when your oscillations start so you'll want to experiment with the values to reduce/remove the oscillations.

PID controllers

INAV has a single built-in PID controller. The PID controller scalingmeans that Betaflight PIDs should be comparable.

Pid Tuning Software

Note that very old INAV versions had more PID controllers. These have been removed.
