So you are smart enough to use PID
I expect you don't need too much explanation

This thing is very simple
The horizontal long button at top is the ON/OFF
The three buttons at side
ON for tuning
OFF for saving
Trim for rough tuning (0 to 20)
VTOL for fine tuning (0 to 0.2)

If you want to use it on your craft
You need to copy three variables

Variable name: Kp
Expression: ( VTOL + 1 ) / 10 + ( Trim + 1 ) * 10
Activator: pidtuner * plock

Variable name: Ki
Expression: ( VTOL + 1 ) / 10 + ( Trim + 1 ) * 10
Activator: pidtuner * ilock

Variable name: Kd
Expression: ( VTOL + 1 ) / 10 + ( Trim + 1 ) * 10
Activator: pidtuner * dlock

Replace (p,i,d) with the three variables
It is small enough to put in default cockpit
It has no drag nor mass
I don't have the knowledge to make an analyzer
Hope it can help you to save some time on fine tuning PID

    As a PID evangelist I say "Thanks" and... Oh now I get it, Press the button up top to store.

    I was going to make one of these as well, so I could tune an autopilot.

    @SnoWFLakE0s your ft guide is very useful, it helped me a lot. I wanted to add a visualizer but sadly i don't have enough mathematics knowledge to do it.

    Excellent! Was planning to make one of these. If I were to add, a graph visualizer can also help a lot with identifying response patterns.
