Hello,
until now, for over 10 years there was no single need of adjusting PID at any model, including very special ones. If you are getting bad results I am absolutely sure there is something wrong elsewhere. Very likely in the mechanics.
So normally we are trying to find what is wrong there. Very often it is too tight ball linkages which is often issue with new kits from SAB, Mikado and few other manufacturers. So instead of trying of doing a bypass for real and correct solution, other, uncommon settings are requested by you.
This is wrong way in our opinion. We would be glad to try find reason why you are getting bad results.
If you want to take way sith PID then I am afraid we can do nothing for you. Your model is not that different from thousands of others where Spirit units are flying perfectly, so it is clear it must work well too.
Good Afternoon.
I appreciate this setup has been working for 10 years without issues, but in these 10 years lots of models have come along, some disappeared and designs have changed in that time. To my knowledge, other than one other person who I am chatting to also, I am yet to see any other OMP M2’s flying on a uSpirit. So this is new to me, your unit and the base settings.
Please don’t misunderstand me as I am not trying to sound ungrateful, as you have been very helpful in helping me try to diagnose what is going on with my OMP M2 conversion to a uSpirit.
However all you've managed to tell me is that my bench setup is wrong somewhere, which is causing the issue, which I can guarantee is not the case. I may not have the skills to program/design my own FBL unit, but with over 40 year’s helicopter flying experience with my main competition days spent in F3C, setting up a model properly is a skill I do have.
So while mistakes can and do happen, after the many times I spent going over it all, I would of found it and I have not.
One idea given to me was that the geometry 6 degree slider, which I'll admit set at 170 for my model seemed high, but this is where it needed to be to obtain the manuals requested 6 degree's, was that this could be the reason for the wobbles.
Which it was, as once I’d dropped it to a lower value that gave me 3.2 ~ 3.4 degrees measured on the grips, this got rid of the major violent wobble.
I had to combine this with completely turning off the elevator filter, which for my setup at least appeared to work in the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do, so instead of helping smooth elevator bounce, it increased it and the wobble.
In the end I did get the model hovering well, but it still exhibited this boom bounce on quick stab elevator inputs which I wanted to tune out if I could.
As above I have literally swapped the uSpirit for another makers unit, hit the exact same issues with the wobble’s and instead of working around them with deviating away from the manuals base values, I've gone and edited the gyro's responses to flight attitude changes and this fixed my problems.
Hence my question to ask if I could access these or not, as it fixed things and I didn’t want to simply give up.
Anyway a simple question was asked and has been answered, so we can’t do any better than that.
Keep up the good work and take care.
