Tuning and Optimizing Flight Control Systems

Importance of Flight Control Systems
The flight control system is the heart of a drone. It is a system that manages actuator control by receiving sensors data and processing relevant information. An ideal flight control system is able to ensure stable pose of the aircraft allowing for task accomplishment in a multitude of complicated scenarios. 

Process for Tuning and Optimizing
Before beginning to tune and optimise the flight control systems it is necessary to determine the areas of drone use and performance expectations. A peculiar case of operation might impose different requirements on flying characteristics of the aircraft, including speed, stiffness, angle of rotation, and others. For radio-controlled aircraft, the layout of the flying platform is the most critical factor. Gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers also need to be fitted and installed properly to go without problems.

The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is generally one of the most preferred algorithms especially for controlling and governing flight systems. With some fine tuning of the P, I, and D parameters, the response rate and reaction time of a drone improves greatly. Also, the configuration and selection of the power system will impact the characteristics of the flight control system. In order to produce sufficient thrust, it is essential to be able to match, the motor to the ESC and the propeller ANC.

Flight control software is expected to forever increase with the advancement of technology. Essential firmware upgrades help expedite already known faults for faster stability and efficiency of the system. Any programmed controlled units changes done theoretically must stand on the ground testing operations for full confirmation of their worth. Ensure that all testings are carried to limit any potential damage to the drone, further retune the parameters according to the results obtained.
