Is it safe to use you phones Bluetooth to set the PID's while in flight, I want to preform slow changed to the PID's at a hover and try to feel the changes, I am having a hard time feeling the small changes after I land and update everything.
so when the code updates the PID does it do it safe or will it crash our of the sky?
Can you change PID's in flight

Re: Can you change PID's in flight
Hi, currently, you can, but the EEPROM write process takes some time (few ms).
So you could encounter a big glitch at the moment you click on Write

Re: Can you change PID's in flight
In which release can this be done, does any code changes have to be applied?
Alternative:
Change the values in memory without storing in eeprom. Land, and only the save to eeprom.

I think writing to eeprom upon landing and disarming would be the best and safest way of doing it.
Re: Can you change PID's in flight
I'm curious to find out if anyone has tried this and what happened #vicariousme

Re: Can you change PID's in flight
Well going to try this afternoon, I will let you know what happens, (going to fly low and slow for this one)
it was to windy to tune the PID's but we had some good first flights/crashes and my first FPV flight
here are my first videos

Re: Can you change PID's in flight
You can save PID's inflight over bluetooth...but like Alex said...sometimes you get a big glitch. I have tried this and now I'm not using it anymore.
@alll: no code change is required

Re: Can you change PID's in flight
It can be done, as long as you don't hover too low!
I got about 30-40 degrees of lean to one side when I did it, kind of scary at first, but manageable with enough height.

And what if I send MSP_SET_PID without MSP_EEPROM_WRITE?
New values will be used?

Hi, i think so, if you set PID per KV OSD they are not stored until you hit eeprom write, but still are used until next reboot.
