I have a slightly overpowered copter. Weight apprx. 500-900 g and theoretically up too > 6000 g thrust.
I noticed that either the P or D PID (or both) greatly increased the power draw.
Setting them too high caused a draw of 30 A in hover. This resulted in motor temperature > 80 degrees.
Lowering the P gain from 0.175 to 0.035 and the D gain from 0.0036 to 0.001 resulted in a decrease of the power draw back to 9-10 A.
Can the D-gain have an influence on the motor power draw?
I thought it may get caused by micro oscilations from the high P gain.
