Silly Helicopter Thing [Funky tree stuff]

6,274 Kikikokikomarumaru15000  10 hours ago

First time doing helicopters, first time doing PID stuff, first time doing whatever on the destroyers on the background.
Fun little build where I experiment on helicopter hovering using PID function, aaaaand it sucks! I cannot get it to hover right with just these parameters! so I did something else. [not mentioned] Anyhow...

This helicopter features a Plane Mode and Helicopter Mode.

Plane mode - Where you fly it like a plane.
Helicopter mode - Where you fly it like a helicopter. This is where I spend many times doing PID on it. The result is a nice VTOLable helicopter with nice VTOL controls, controlled with gyroscope ofcourse.

Circle To Square Mobile Joystick Input Fix - present in this craft so there's full pitch AND full roll in mobile. Still primitive tho, will probably do a fix on it later later....
