Upcoming Alexmos Firmware V2.42B5 with Autotune – What’s new

 Auto PID Tuning – Autotune

 

Adaptive PID gains – Selectively for each axis

This settings group lets to adaptively decrease PID gains, when the system becomes unstable due to
high PID gains. For example, system may be tuned very well in certain position, but it may become
completely unstable in different position. Self-excitation may cause strong vibration, that may negatively
affect gimbal construction and may be even dangerous for the camera. Also, when vibration
accidentally comes, it may brake whole footage. Possible workaround is to use adaptive PID control.

 

 

PWM servo output

 

Digital Filters

Notch Filters

These filters can reject narrow bandwidth. They can help in case when the system has a pronounced
mechanical resonance.

 

Low-pass filter

Applying this filter can be needed for large gimbals (heavy cameras with high moment of inertia) or for gimbals
with reduction gear. The working frequency range for them are lower than of the lightweight gimbals. But factor
D of PID-regulator increases feedback the more, the higher frequency.
