Re: [Paparazzi-devel] AUTO2 Standby throttle management

Thanks a lot Reto,

I will try to tweak the gains and see if it solves the issue.

Hi Joseph

That might be a problem in altitude control, probably just a tuning issue.
Altitude is controlled both by pitch and throttle. In your case pitch
control seems not be sensitive enough and throttle control too aggressive.
Try enhancing the pitch gains and reducing the throttle gains. Maybe
vertical control is generally to weak and you fly permanently in the
aggressive flightmodes, try enhancing altitude_pgain. Additionally you
might give more margin (blend_start and blend_end) in the aggressive
section, especially until the vertical controller is well tuned. For more
detailed analysis a log would be needed.

Regards and good luck
Reto
