Presets

A quadcopter holds position with nested control loops: an outer loop turns position error into a desired tilt and thrust, and an inner loop drives the attitude to that tilt. Tune the PID gains for a snappy, stable response — too little derivative and it oscillates, too much and it sluggishly drifts. Click to send a waypoint.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Balanced gains (Kp=1, Kd=1.4) give a snappy, stable approach with minimal overshoot.
