Speed autopilot PID

1,624 mrxml  1.1 years ago

I just learned about PIDs and I’m trying to use one.

I thought a PID would be suitable to make an automatic throttle control that would maintain a specific speed.


I need help tuning it and actually incorporating it into an FT expression that controls the throttle.

When my PID is disturbed, it either takes 30 seconds to respond or oscillates very widely


The PID

here it is: PID(APspeed, TAS, 2, 1, 1)

APspeed is a custom setter I made

  • Expression: TAS
  • Priority: 0
  • Activator: !Activate2

    @Timplanes I know and I’m trying to use this guy’s tuning methods. I would also like to see what other people would do.
