Auto Tune returns 0.00 for "I" in Yaw axis.
  • I am having problems tuning the Yaw on my gimbal. I have tried a wide range of PID and power combinations. The gimbal is a minigimbal designed by Emm over at cheesycam.com. Here is the exact set up I have (gimbal, motors, wiring, camera and lens) https://youtu.be/BQjO-OBsI_g?t=11m4s

    The camera is in perfect balance (or as close as I can get it).

    When I run Auto for tuning the PIDs, (pitch, roll, yaw, one at a time, in that order), I get these values. I started the autotune setting at zero. Power is 170 for all axis.

    Pitch: 106, 0.07, 46
    Roll: 179, 0.04, 77
    Yaw: 179, 0, 77

    Pitch and roll took about 2 minutes each to complete. Yaw was at least 20 minutes changing between 165 and 255 for P and 60 and 80 for the D. Follow mode was off. There never was a value for I.

    Pitch and roll values returned work very well. When follow is enabled for Yaw, it seems to respond erratically and never full corrects when I slowly turn the opposite way.

    What would cause there to be no value returned for Yaw as a result of Auto tune?

  • You could try manual tuning, as we always did (and some still do, like me with my 8-bit board).

    That requires a lot of knowledge and testing, though. But it can result in the best tuning.
  • Hello,
    We recommend you update your board to latest firmware and use latest GUI: http://www.basecamelectronics.com/downloads/32bit/#latest
    I – The “I” value changes the speed at which the gimbal moves to incoming RC commands and
    to move the gimbal back to neutral. Low values result in a slow and smooth reaction to RC
    commands and to getting back to neutral. Increase this value to speed up the movement.
  • Im in the other end of the scale now.. pitch ends upp with an I value way over 1.5 kinda crazy tbh.
    good luck :)
