This has been bugging me for a few years now. How to tune your quad in Betaflight.
There’s all sorts of settings - P, I, D, d min. d max, i term relax, antigravity, feedforward etc

My 5" quad felt fine on 4s with flysky years ago. Then I upgraded to crossfire and suddenly the bounceback vanished (a wobble after a flip or roll).
Then I went to 6s. Major wobbles. So I tamed down the P and D terms and it was okish.
I now have a source 2 frame with titanium alloy arms and it just never feels right at 1/4 to full throttle. I’m guessing the arms are ringing like a tuning fork that needs filtering out. ![]()
Anyway, this thread is to show how I will try to tune my quad using the blackbox logs.
First off, I did a preliminary tuning flight tonight. And the stats are posted too.
I haven’t got a problem with the setpoint (no high frequency noise) so the rc link is sound. But I have harmonic problems at 150hz, 300hz and 450hz in the motors (they were hot on landing)
All help appreciated ![]()
It definitely isn’t motor related as they all have the same noise…
Although, saying my step response is fine… looks like there is a definite wobble. The motors were hot so the d term was working too hard, so I need to reduce the p/d term I think
