Tilt the Multicopter in Attitude mode so that its nose is facing
downwards. You should notice that the front motors are turning
faster than the rear ones
Roll the Multicopter in Attitude mode to one side. The motors of
the side, in which the Multicopter is tilted will run faster than the
motors on the opposite side.
If one of the directions of operation is wrong, you must repeat the
axis assignment process.
Congratulations!
Your Multicopter is now ready to go! Carefully install the propellers and
find a suitable place to fly and test your Multicopter. Find a place with
plenty of open space and practice some hovering and forward flight
manoeuvres in Attitude mode.
Roll and Nick PID settingS
FOR ATTITUDE AND RATE MODE:
ROLL/NICK P:
Set this parameter in steps of 5 and higher until a medium-speed
overshoot occurs. Then go 5-10 steps back in order to prevent a up
climb at full throttle.
ROLL/NICK D:
Now adjust the D component in steps of 5, until the Multicopter
engages exactly on nick and roll. A too high value may cause high
oscillations.
ROLL FACTOR %:
Set the Roll setting as percent value of the overall gain. For symmetric
Multicopters the value can be 100. If, because of its centre of gravity,
the Multicopter is more agile on the Roll axis than on the Nick axis,
then you can change here the roll factor. In the Graupner ALPHA
RACE 250Q this value is set about 65%.
POWER2SENS:
Very strong motor drives can lead to oscillating at full throttle. This
parameter allows you to set a kind of gyro suppression. Higher values
result in an increased gyro suppression towards full throttle.
ONLY FOR ATTITUDE MODE:
ROLL/NICK I:
Set the I component of the Attitude mode. At too low values the
Multicopter may swing slowly. If it stops after a roll or pitch command
STEP FOUR:
These are optional
settings which should be changed
with care and only after you have
familiarized yourself with your
Multicopter flight performance.
