Hover test: Here is a plot of the spectrum of accelerometer data logged at 1KHz. Data collected using a slight modification to PX4 master (Pixracer/250 FPV quad). Props are 5x4.6 and are dinged up a bit; definitely not perfect balance. Largest vibration amplitude is on Y axis (green) smallest on Z (blue) as expected.

What is the purpose of this vibration analysis?
The vibrational characteristics of the flight environment are of interest to IMU and attitude control system designers. It’s also a good quantitative measure of RPM and prop balancing
Is there a branch with the modifications to do this test myself?
Just wondering, thanks!
This is still “Work In Progress”, and could easily break the attitude controller, so I don’t recommend trying it yourself yet. I’ll post a link to my branch when/if I think it’s safe for others to fly.
@Mark_Whitehorn Impressive work. I’m excited to use this on my gas powered vehicle when it’s ready.
