Ive only been flying and tuning in addtiude mode..i tried rate once and it was very hard for a newb like me to fly. How does one tune rate only if you cant fly it yet lol. So you think i should set the outter loop I gain to zero?
It appears to be flying ok. But i never flew one before so i dont know what im missing
The LibrePilot uses
dual loop controller for stabilization. That means that when you are in attitude stabilization mode for chosen axis, signal from your transmitter goes first to outer loop (attitude), there it is compared with gyro and send to inner loop (rate).
When you tune rate (inner) loop, while flying in attitude mode your whole system is tuned, and you don't need to tune outer loop.
If you are in rate stabilization mode, signal from transmitter goes directly to inner loop (bypassing outer loop and disregarding it's values). Signal is compared then directly with gyro and passes to control. By tuning in rate mode, you don't take into account the settings of outer loop.
I am a newbie here, but I failed miserably when I tried tuning outer-loop, but tuning inner loop did the job for me.
