What controller is inside the quadcopters roll and pitch system?

Post by JamesClark »

I have to model the roll pitch to control the x and y which is why I need to find out how the controlling works on roll and pitch.

I have found this GitHub code which states that it uses pi controller with kp=6 and ki=3. Is this correct?

Hi! By default it's a cascaded PID controller for the attitude and attitude rate.

Please check out the documentation to point you in the right direction: https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/r ... ntrollers/

Hi thank you. I found the pid values for your own controller for moving xy plane.

I need the controller for moving a degree to another degree in roll for example.

Just follow the links in the documentation I send in the previous post. You should look for the attitude pid controller. This is the link of where you can find it: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-f ... ntroller.c
