Tuning The ITSY

Months of time have been spent to optimize the best possible tune for your ITSY. This was done considering all flight experience: indoor, outside and in the wind.

‍

Setup the ESCs:

Use your esc firmware tool to create the following settings:

  • 48khz PMW rate
  • Enable PMW dithering (checkbox) if available

Betaflight Setup:

Make sure you turn on RPM filtering and set the correct number of motor poles in the motor setup tab. Then, after setting up your RX, TX and motors in Betaflight please configure PIDs as follows:

‍

Option 1 (recommended) : using Flywoo 1003/14,800kv motors

‍

Filter settings (FLYWOO):

‍

Note: Set sliders and settings to the exact values above.

‍
PID settings (FLYWOO):

Notes:

  • Change mode to RP to enable custom YAW PIDS
  • Set dynamic idle value higher (>70) for more floaty low throttle descents or lower (<70)for faster descents
  • To customize the tune based on frame weight ( Depending on VTX selection ,etc) adjust Master Multiplier as desired. (Base is 1.2)

‍

Rate settings:

Notes:

  • Rates above are for smooth cinematic flight with ability to do acro.

‍

Option 2: using Beta FPV 1102/14,000kv motors

‍

Filter settings (BetaFPV):

‍

IMPORTANT: go to the Betaflight CLI and enter the following settings:

  • set rpm_filter_q = 350
  • Then type in: save ... and hit enter
Note: See sliders and detailed filter parameters below sliders

‍
PID settings (BetaFPV):

Notes:

  • Change mode to RP to enable custom YAW PIDS
  • Set dynamic idle value higher (>70) for more floaty low throttle descents or lower (<70)for faster descents
  • To customize the tune based on frame weight ( Depending on VTX selection ,etc) adjust Master Multiplier as desired. (Base is 1.25)

Notes:

  • Rates above are for smooth cinematic flight with ability to do acro.
