PID clarification please

[dankreed]

I understand that there is no one answer to PID settings.. however, being new to PX4. I am wanting to put this controller on both a helicopter and a MR. I want to try to understand this process fully before i attempt to put this unit on an airframe.

first question i have is, I have read that the Pixhawk has some "default" setting. is this true? I understand that these settings most likely will not be perfect but in the ballpark

I plan on putting the Pixhawk on two MR s800 EVO and Kraken 130 large machines with low KV motors, simonK flashed ESC. and the Helicopter will be 800mm so again a large machine Gas motor

basically i am wondering if there is a starting default Pid settings?

I do not think the "default" PIDs would work on your large Octos. These machines are quite different from the typical machines used with Arducopter (well-powered, 600-size quads).

Nobody has run Arducopter on a gasser heli yet. I'm actually trying to build up to it. I have a customer that is building a 40kg heli where he is planning to use the Pixhawk. And I am planning to build an 800 gasser as a prototype. There really aren't any "default" PIDs for heli.
