Hi everyone,
I’m seeking some help with my 7-inch drone setup. I am using an EV stereo camera, but I’m running into two specific flight behavior issues:
-
Translation Overshoot: Whenever I attempt a translation maneuver, I experience a very large overshoot. The drone struggles to “stop” its momentum and settle.
-
Yaw Centering Issues: When I yaw, the drone doesn’t seem to rotate around its Center of Mass (CoM). Instead, it feels like it’s pivoting around the camera axis.
What I’ve tried so far:
-
Calibration: I performed a calibration between the camera and the IMU, but this did not resolve the lag or the pivot offset.
-
PID Tuning: I’ve tried tightening the PID gains. While this started to reduce the “laggy” feeling, the overshoot remains significant and the drone still feels unsettled.
Has anyone dealt with similar issues on larger frames with front-heavy camera payloads? I suspect it might be a mixer offset issue or a compensation setting for the camera’s physical position relative to the FC, but I’d appreciate any insights on how to get this locked in.
