update: response from one of the developers:
"sorry for this, turns out one of the ad providers was configured waaaaay to aggressive, i hope its now better. its definitely not a scam, i just needed to ad some adds to fund the project since we get allmost no donations. let me know if there is anything else broken/wrong :)"
Struggling with FPV drone tuning? It can feel overwhelming, but what if there was a straightforward method that gives you a great-flying quad without the headache of complex tools like PID Toolbox? In this video, I'll show you my step-by-step process for getting a solid tune using the powerful, free website fpv-drone.info [00:08]
This guide is perfect for freestyle pilots or anyone who wants to improve their drone's performance without getting lost in the weeds. We'll cover everything from initial setup to final adjustments.
Here’s the process we'll follow:
Initial Setup & Flight: First, we'll configure the blackbox log and RC link presets. Then, I'll show you the specific one-minute flight pattern, including flips and rolls, to capture the data we need. [00:33]
Blackbox Log Analysis: Learn how to upload your log to dronef.info and let it guide you on setting your dynamic notch and filters. [00:59]
The "Wiggle Flight" Method: This is the core of the process. I'll walk you through a series of "wiggle flights" to systematically adjust the PI gain and master sliders, checking the log after each flight to see the impact. [01:38]
Final Adjustments: To finish, we'll lock in the tune by setting the feed-forward, drift wobble, and dynamic idle based on the website's calculations. [02:22]
While top-tier racers might require a more in-depth approach [02:44], this method provides a fantastic tune that will feel smooth and responsive for most pilots.
