Re: vertical control

My oscillations have a smaller amplitude and lower frequency (see below). My ROS node is written in Python as well, running at 100Hz update rate. It is not typical that you don't oscillate around the target value. It looks like your thrust is not high enough. What are your gains? I had to use a pret...

Re: vertical control

How bad are your oscillations? What motion capture system are you using (update rate)? I use a PID controller for height stabilization myself and it seems to work pretty well. However, I did not measure the oscillations yet. From just looking at it I would assume it is within a few centimeters. I us...
