<font size="5" face="Comic Sans MS">PIDtoolbox has a YouTube site,
I am viewing a video on that site which is at <a href="https://youtu.be/ehvQm8Rqrzk?si=XKyL3DGHzVwaT8hT" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ehvQm8Rqrzk?si=XKyL3DGHzVwaT8hT</a><br>
There is a good bit to learn and lots of settings. There is a
script you can load on the controller to put the drone in "wiggle
mode" which is fun to watch. You get the drone to hover and
flick a switch and it sure does wiggle. You land and then examine
the graphs and adjust the parameters to smooth things out. Sounds
easy, well for some I guess, me I'll be slipping all over the
learning curve...<br>
<br>
I think the PIDtoolbox is now part of the Betaflight
configurator. BTW it does not have any flux capacitors in it.<br>
