🔧Betaflight 4.5 Tuning Workflow using PIDtoolbox🔧 

!!! Please note !!! At time 10:38, Do not misinterpret my discussion there as suggesting that you should start tuning the Master multiplier first, before PD balance etc. That is NOT what I am saying. The basic PID tuning steps have not changed (and I’ve stated this in the current vid), and for more detail on this you should follow my previous videos. In this part of the video (10:38) I am just talking about how to set STARTING values (ie, the values of sliders for the FIRST of your series of tuning tests). Hope this is clear. Happy Tuning! -brian

The way you convey and present the information, makes me think you are a educator. Even the topics and subheadings are numbered, organized and very structured. I felt like I was sitting through a Uni lecture, well done!

These videos are pure gold. I REALLY appreciate the time you put into making this make sense. It's also great to see you back making videos again. With the release of 4.5 it would probably help a lot of folks if you could make a single step-by-step video of your process tuning a normal 5 inch racing or freestyle rig. I know there's a lot of information in your older videos but I can't find a video from the last few years where actually take a regular 5" rig and demonstrate from start-to-finish how you tune it from defaults. Love all your videos, and the PID toolbox tool is a genuine community blessing. Thanks for everything you do for us mortals.

i followed the older videos and got results i never had in 10 years before. thank you for that. i appreciate more videos with one step after another and how to control which values are in OK area and which is not. i also would watch these long videos from other pilots sending in their files with problems. there is no other channel in the world which does that, its a unique thing.

Brian is back!

Great stuff, even for someone like me I just wanted a refresher and this does the trick! :)

Trying to tune 10" right now. Using pid tool box right now. Trying alot of different settings along with looking at blackbox I need to try angle mode and just hovering.

Thank you for sharing. subbed! verry well presented.

Brian thanks a lot for all your work! It's great to have you in our community!

Thank you so much for your work! After 3 years of learning how to tune, tuning without BB, then with BBE, then with PTB, I started to feel the tune and then verify my feelings in your software. First I thought - naaaah, I will tune it my way using PTB, even tuning FF + P /D balance via Step Response tool, but now - I started to understand why you are tuning the way you do.

So much valuable information, thank you Brian

Another great video, I learn something new every time.

I may need a session Brian! my friend has great things to say!! building another heavy lift soon

Thank's!

This is definitively really instructive! As always, you rock, thanks for your awesome information sharing 🙏

Nice! Thank you Brian!

Well stated sir. Thanks

Liked! More content like this is always welcome.

Thank you!

Good stuff brother. Subscribed 👏🤙

YES PLEASE!!! 🙂

Thank you, for the update on BF 4.5! Tuning the filters along with PID makes so much sense to me. Do you check the filtering after each section of the PID tuning process or do you revisit those just in general?

At 4:55 how do you have such clean wobbles? did you program them in edgetx?

What do you mean by take into account rotational inertia when designing a frame. Position of motors, like X or stretched? Or weight distribution of where parts are installed?

hi. must feedforward_transition param be 0 or 100 on bf45 when using pidtoolbox for tuning? Is it matter for angle mod?

Why in angle mode? I never fly angle mode? Is it just sugeested for safety or it does it gice better data?

there are none other than rpm filter weight not one 🤔

Thank You
