    In Betaflight 4.2 they changed the LOW MEDIUM HIGH setting for Dynamic Notch to a "max Hz" setting. This video tells you to set the Dynamic Notch Max to LOW. The equivalent setting in BF 4.2 is 350 Hz.

    I'm glad that this gives you videos to make.
    I am also pretty exhausted by then needless complexity on top of needless complexity that has been added to the flight code over the last year, maybe 18 mo.
    The things like I term relax, feedforeward, d term setpoint, gyro notch filters, are all superfluous. The problem I have with all this comes from the lack of necessity. It just isn't a big enough improvement to validate the face slamming into concrete ordeal that is attempting to decipher the tool-tip language to learn these new settings, and what to do with them. If they were written by someone who has ever had a conversation with a human being this wouldn't be such a problem. The way things are being detailed now, you have to just move the settings around and hope for the best. That is a problem when the result can be the destruction of something so deeply personal, precious, and expensive. I am not willing to go through those "fire and flame" ordeals every 4-6 mo. I have to say, when a new feature comes out, and whoever made it obviously can't form a coherent sentence describing the purpose of their work, I assume it's probably not that evolved of a feature. The next few weeks are awash with RUclips videos where people TRY to make some kind of sense of the new feature, and make some intelligent attempt at utilizing it. Comments about horrific quad destruction are sprinkled throughout the community, in the wake of a nonsensical paragraph of unintelligible, real world example free, blather that suddenly appeared in the configuration, that we are FORCED to deal with. Most people just ignore it and hope for the best, not due to a lack of interest, or enthusiasm, or intelligence. Typically quite the opposite, most of us are full of "stoke". The problem is the tool-tips. Without any meaningful information about the new feature, we are at the mercy of people who have quads to burn, who shakily inch their way out the diving board and give it a try, with one eye closed, and a healthy, informed fear of the unknown they have been thrust into. If there were real world examples, as well as the labyrinthine, obtuse garbage that we get when we mouse over that tiny question mark we would be able to USE them.
    I am not even hoping to be able to utilize something well made, that brings me to a new level. I have lowered the bar to "God I hope this doesn't ruin my hardware". For all the effort that must go into writing this code, someone needs to be able to articulate the new features in a usable way. I volunteer. If you are reading this, and you are developing new features, and ppl have NO IDEA what you are talking about when you tell them what you are doing, and the implementation is consistently a problem: hit me up. I can, and will, listen to you, ask you meaningful questions for clarification. I will then translate that into a tool-tip that can be used by someone who is not in the room with either of us.
    Please. For the love of all things flying, please.

    YES! This is the video I've been looking for! All the other BF filter videos have one thing in common - "tuning" already great quad. What can you teach using that? No example, no real improvement - the difference might be for the pilot, but not perceivable in video.

    I have similar filter settings after testing for the last few months. Sliders all the way to the right (2X), RPM enabled and harmonics at 3, dynamic notch at q=200, w=0, LOW and min hz at 100. I used to disable D_Min but have had better results enabling it and raising the min to about 75% of what it would be without and setting the max about 15-20 higher than without. The other change I make from 4.0.x are raising P quite a bit.

    Btw that UAV-Tech performance filter tune is a little outdated. I believe he said in a recent video that instead of using a single BiQuad you should use two PT1 filters set to values that add up to a similair latency. This will reduce the noise at lower frequencies more than the BiQuad.

    Is the idea to try reduce the filters as much as possible on each build? I've just setup rpm filtering in BF4.1 on my brand new build. It fly's great. But is the idea to keep moving the filter sliders as far right as possible? Or do you just accept that it flys great and don't think too much more into? Not sure how far into the danger zone I should go. My only gripe is I still have a hint of prop wash I want to get rid of and my sliders arnt in the warning zone yet. Cheers, and great work!!

    All the features in BF are tuned to work together, turning off Dmin means you have to adjust a lot of other stuff to "balance it out again" same for I-term relax for example. To get the last few percent of performance, things got really complicated. But the everting is still exposed to the user... And you really need to know what you are doing to have a good result.
    The sliders are the first step in providing an alternative, they change multiple settings in a promotional way, so you don't have to understand every little detail.

    Hey Joshua - great video. I have a 7" that was always a problem quad. I moved it to a stiffer frame. Helped a bunch. Then did the upgrade to 4.1 and added RPM filtrers. Followed your instructions. What I am noticing, as I move the sliders for filtering toward less filtering, my propwash gets better, but I am seeing jello slowly introduced each time I move the sliders down. Motors are cool. Is this expected? Do I need to move to pid tuning after this to get rid of jello? Or accept the propwash? No matter what, great series. This thing flies better than ever before.

But I’ve got the buzz and have been wanting to move it up to 4.1 and start playing with it. Looks like BF has gotten more complicated but easier at the same time lol.

My questions are: Do you recommending your Dynamic notch settings also for small quads?

      @@fuleo yes, you just have less and much more subjective information about how the quad responds to your changes (which can vary in quality depending on the pilot's level of experience). You can't really go wrong by enabling rpm and pushing filtering sliders to the right a bit at a time, checking for hot motors or problems at each step. Once filters are set you can PID tune without black box info. See UAVTech videos about that and/or the Stingy method... Blackbox just allows you to know, objectively, how good the tune is, and helps a lot to troubleshoot when something odd is happening or when the normal methods don't result in good performance.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  5 лет назад +2

      I definitely disagree. When I flew with each setting, I did a 1 minute-ish flight with nothing but power loops and hard turns. I also did this with RPM filters. Then afterwards I did a full freestyle flight.
      When I edited the video, I put in ONLY the freestyle flight so you can see a full range of flight characteristics. But the freestyle flight also has some hard turns and etc. It just has everything else as well.
      The goal was not to hide anything. Just trying to keep the video under 25 minutes (the original edited length, which showed every single flight).
      But my point is, you're right that there is a difference between the three flights. But it's not because I was subconsciously trying to make the RPM filter look good. It's just because I didn't show you the short version of the RPM filter flight.

Why would the lower filtering give more throttle response and have less bounce back. There's virtually none now at 1.7 and 1.8.
