3 1 15 Speed controller bandwidth Speed controller bandwidth, in Hz. Higher values result in faster speed and current rise times, but may result in overshoot and higher current consumption. For fixed-wing aircraft, this value should be less than 50 Hz; for multirotors, values up to 100 Hz may provide improvements in responsiveness. 10 250 Hertz Reverse direction Motor spin direction as detected during initial enumeration. Use 0 or 1 to reverse direction. 0 1 Speed (RPM) controller gain Speed (RPM) controller gain. Determines controller aggressiveness; units are amp-seconds per radian. Systems with higher rotational inertia (large props) will need gain increased; systems with low rotational inertia (small props) may need gain decreased. Higher values result in faster response, but may result in oscillation and excessive overshoot. Lower values result in a slower, smoother response. 0.00 1.00 amp-seconds per radian 3 Idle speed (e Hz) Idle speed (e Hz) 0.0 100.0 Hertz 3 Spin-up rate (e Hz/s) Spin-up rate (e Hz/s) 5 1000 Hz/s Index of this ESC in throttle command messages.

When tas_test_ratio is > 1.0 it indicates the inconsistency between predicted and measured airspeed is large enough to cause the navigation EKF to reject airspeed measurements. The time required to detect a fault when the threshold is exceeded depends on the size of the exceedance and is controlled by the ASPD_FS_INTEG parameter. 0.5 3.0 Airspeed failsafe consistency delay (Experimental) This sets the time integral of airspeed test ratio exceedance above ASPD_FS_INNOV required to trigger a failsafe. For example if ASPD_FS_INNOV is 1 and estimator_status.tas_test_ratio is 2.0, then the exceedance is 1.0 and the integral will rise at a rate of 1.0/second. A negative value disables the check.

This is a reference variance used to calculate the fraction of learned magnetometer bias that will be used to update the stored value.

This parameter is used when the magnetometer fusion method is set automatically (EKF2_MAG_TYPE = 0). If the filtered horizontal acceleration is greater than this parameter value, then the EKF will use 3-axis magnetomer fusion 0.0 5.0 m/s**2 2 Process noise for body magnetic field prediction 0.0 0.1 Gauss/s 6 Magnetic field strength test selection When set, the EKF checks the strength of the magnetic field to decide whether the magnetometer data is valid. If GPS data is received, the magnetic field is compared to a World Magnetic Model (WMM), otherwise an average value is used. This check is useful to reject occasional hard iron disturbance. Magnetic declination deg 1 Magnetometer measurement delay relative to IMU measurements 0 300 ms 1 true Process noise for earth magnetic field prediction 0.0 0.1 Gauss/s 6 Gate size for magnetometer XYZ component fusion Sets the number of standard deviations used by the innovation consistency test. 1.0 SD 1 Measurement noise for magnetometer 3-axis fusion 0.001 1.0 Gauss 3 Type of magnetometer fusion Integer controlling the type of magnetometer fusion used - magnetic heading or 3-component vector. The fuson of magnetomer data as a three component vector enables vehicle body fixed hard iron errors to be learned, but requires a stable earth field. If set to 'Automatic' magnetic heading fusion is used when on-ground and 3-axis magnetic field fusion in-flight with fallback to magnetic heading fusion if there is insufficient motion to make yaw or magnetic field states observable. If set to 'Magnetic heading' magnetic heading fusion is used at all times If set to '3-axis' 3-axis field fusion is used at all times. If set to 'VTOL custom' the behaviour is the same as 'Automatic', but if fusing airspeed, magnetometer fusion is only allowed to modify the magnetic field states. This can be used by VTOL platforms with large magnetic field disturbances to prevent incorrect bias states being learned during forward flight operation which can adversely affect estimation accuracy after transition to hovering flight. If set to 'MC custom' the behaviour is the same as 'Automatic, but if there are no earth frame position or velocity observations being used, the magnetometer will not be used. This enables vehicles to operate with no GPS in environments where the magnetic field cannot be used to provide a heading reference. Prior to flight, the yaw angle is assumed to be constant if movement tests controlled by the EKF2_MOVE_TEST parameter indicate that the vehicle is static. This allows the vehicle to be placed on the ground to learn the yaw gyro bias prior to flight. If set to 'None' the magnetometer will not be used under any circumstance. If no external source of yaw is available, it is possible to use post-takeoff horizontal movement combined with GPS velocity measurements to align the yaw angle with the timer required (depending on the amount of movement and GPS data quality). Other external sources of yaw may be used if selected via the EKF2_AID_MASK parameter. true Automatic Magnetic heading 3-axis VTOL custom MC custom None Yaw rate threshold used by automatic selection of magnetometer fusion method. This parameter is used when the magnetometer fusion method is set automatically (EKF2_MAG_TYPE = 0). If the filtered yaw rate is greater than this parameter value, then the EKF will use 3-axis magnetomer fusion 0.0 1.0 rad/s 2 Minimum time of arrival delta between non-IMU observations before data is downsampled. Baro and Magnetometer data will be averaged before downsampling, other data will be point sampled resulting in loss of information 10 50 ms true Expected range finder reading when on ground If the vehicle is on ground, is not moving as determined by the motion test controlled by EKF2_MOVE_TEST and the range finder is returning invalid or no data, then an assumed range value of EKF2_MIN_RNG will be used by the terrain estimator so that a terrain height estimate is avilable at the start of flight in situations where the range finder may be inside its minimum measurements distance when on ground. 0.01 m 2 Vehicle movement test threshold Scales the threshold tests applied to IMU data used to determine if the vehicle is static or moving.

This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a negative wind relative velocity along the X body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during backwards flight, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Static pressure position error coefficient for the positive X axis This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a positive wind relative velocity along the X body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during forward flight, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Pressure position error coefficient for the negative Y axis. This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a wind relative velocity along the negative Y (LH) body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during sideways flight to the left, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Pressure position error coefficient for the positive Y axis. This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a wind relative velocity along the positive Y (RH) body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during sideways flight to the right, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Static pressure position error coefficient for the Z axis.

It will only do so if conditions for range measurement fusion are met. This enables the range finder to be used during low speed and low altitude operation, eg takeoff and landing, where baro interference from rotor wash is excessive and can corrupt EKF state estimates. It is intended to be used where a vertical takeoff and landing is performed, and horizontal flight does not occur until above EKF2_RNG_A_HMAX. If vehicle motion causes repeated switching between the primary height sensor and range finder, an offset in the local position origin can accumulate. Also range finder measurements are less reliable and can experience unexpected errors. For these reasons, if accurate control of height relative to ground is required, it is recommended to use the MPC_ALT_MODE parameter instead, unless baro errors are severe enough to cause problems with landing and takeoff. Range aid disabled Range aid enabled Maximum absolute altitude (height above ground level) allowed for range aid mode If the vehicle absolute altitude exceeds this value then the estimator will not fuse range measurements to estimate it's height.

Enable when using aerodynamic control surfaces (e.g.: plane) Disable when using rotor wings (e.g.: autogyro) Whether to scale throttle by battery power level This compensates for voltage drop of the battery over time by attempting to normalize performance across the operating range of the battery. The fixed wing should constantly behave as if it was fully charged with reduced max thrust at lower battery percentages. i.e. if cruise speed is at 0.5 throttle at 100% battery, it will still be 0.5 at 60% battery.

FW_AIRSPD_MIN * FW_LND_AIRSPD_SC 1.0 1.5 norm 2 0.01 Landing slope angle 1.0 15.0 deg 1 0.5 Early landing configuration deployment When disabled, the landing configuration (flaps, landing airspeed, etc.) is only activated on the final approach to landing. When enabled, it is already activated when entering the final loiter-down (loiter-to-alt) waypoint before the landing approach. This shifts the (often large) altitude and airspeed errors caused by the configuration change away from the ground such that these are not so critical. It also gives the controller enough time to adapt to the new configuration such that the landing approach starts with a cleaner initial state. Landing flare altitude (relative to landing altitude) 0.0 25.0 m 1 0.5 Flare, maximum pitch Maximum pitch during flare, a positive sign means nose up Applied once FW_LND_FLALT is reached 0 45.0 deg 1 0.5 Flare, minimum pitch Minimum pitch during flare, a positive sign means nose up Applied once FW_LND_FLALT is reached 0 15.0 deg 1 0.5 Landing heading hold horizontal distance. Set to 0 to disable heading hold 0 30.0 m 1 0.5 FW_LND_HVIRT 1.0 15.0 m 1 0.5 Throttle time constant factor for landing Set this parameter to less than 1.0 to make the TECS throttle loop react faster during landing than during normal flight (i.e. giving efficiency and low motor wear at high altitudes but control accuracy during landing). During landing, the TECS throttle time constant (FW_T_THRO_CONST) is multiplied by this value. 0.2 1.0 0.1 Landing throttle limit altitude (relative landing altitude) Default of -1.0 lets the system default to applying throttle limiting at 2/3 of the flare altitude. -1.0 30.0 m 1 0.5 Use terrain estimate during landing This is turned off by default and a waypoint or return altitude is normally used (or sea level for an arbitrary land position). Positive pitch limit The maximum positive pitch the controller will output. 0.0 60.0 deg 1 0.5 Negative pitch limit The minimum negative pitch the controller will output. -60.0 0.0 deg 1 0.5 Controller roll limit The maximum roll the controller will output. 35.0 65.0 deg 1 0.5 Scale throttle by pressure change Automatically adjust throttle to account for decreased air density at higher altitudes. Start with a scale factor of 1.0 and adjust for different propulsion systems. When flying without airspeed sensor this will help to keep a constant performance over large altitude ranges. The default value of 0 will disable scaling. 0.0 10.0 1 0.1 Cruise throttle This is the throttle setting required to achieve the desired cruise speed. Most airframes have a value of 0.5-0.7. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Idle throttle This is the minimum throttle while on the ground For aircraft with internal combustion engine this parameter should be set above desired idle rpm. 0.0 0.4 norm 2 0.01 Throttle limit during landing below throttle limit altitude During the flare of the autonomous landing process, this value will be set as throttle limit when the aircraft altitude is below FW_LND_TLALT. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Throttle limit max This is the maximum throttle % that can be used by the controller. For overpowered aircraft, this should be reduced to a value that provides sufficient thrust to climb at the maximum pitch angle PTCH_MAX. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Throttle limit min This is the minimum throttle % that can be used by the controller. For electric aircraft this will normally be set to zero, but can be set to a small non-zero value if a folding prop is fitted to prevent the prop from folding and unfolding repeatedly in-flight or to provide some aerodynamic drag from a turning prop to improve the descent rate. For aircraft with internal combustion engine this parameter should be set for desired idle rpm. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Throttle max slew rate Maximum slew rate for the commanded throttle 0.0 1.0 Launch detection Catapult accelerometer threshold LAUN_CAT_A for LAUN_CAT_T serves as threshold to trigger launch detection. 0 m/s/s 1 0.5 Motor delay Delay between starting attitude control and powering up the throttle (giving throttle control to the controller) Before this timespan is up the throttle will be set to FW_THR_IDLE, set to 0 to deactivate 0.0 10.0 s 1 0.5 Maximum pitch before the throttle is powered up (during motor delay phase) This is an extra limit for the maximum pitch which is imposed in the phase before the throttle turns on. This allows to limit the maximum pitch angle during a bungee launch (make the launch less steep). 0.0 45.0 deg 1 0.5 Catapult time threshold LAUN_CAT_A for LAUN_CAT_T serves as threshold to trigger launch detection. 0.0 5.0 s 2 0.05 Maximum Airspeed If the airspeed is above this value, the TECS controller will try to decrease airspeed more aggressively. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Minimum Airspeed If the airspeed falls below this value, the TECS controller will try to increase airspeed more aggressively. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Cruise Airspeed The fixed wing controller tries to fly at this airspeed. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Minimum groundspeed The controller will increase the commanded airspeed to maintain this minimum groundspeed to the next waypoint. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Maximum climb rate This is the best climb rate that the aircraft can achieve with the throttle set to THR_MAX and the airspeed set to the default value. For electric aircraft make sure this number can be achieved towards the end of flight when the battery voltage has reduced. The setting of this parameter can be checked by commanding a positive altitude change of 100m in loiter, RTL or guided mode. If the throttle required to climb is close to THR_MAX and the aircraft is maintaining airspeed, then this parameter is set correctly. If the airspeed starts to reduce, then the parameter is set to high, and if the throttle demand required to climb and maintain speed is noticeably less than FW_THR_MAX, then either FW_T_CLMB_MAX should be increased or FW_THR_MAX reduced. 1.0 15.0 m/s 1 0.5 Height rate feed forward 0.0 1.0 2 0.05 Height rate proportional factor 0.0 1.0 2 0.05 Integrator gain This is the integrator gain on the control loop. Increasing this gain increases the speed at which speed and height offsets are trimmed out, but reduces damping and increases overshoot. Set this value to zero to completely disable all integrator action. 0.0 2.0 2 0.05 Pitch damping factor This is the damping gain for the pitch demand loop. Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in height. The default value of 0.0 will work well provided the pitch to servo controller has been tuned properly. 0.0 2.0 1 0.1 Roll -> Throttle feedforward Increasing this gain turn increases the amount of throttle that will be used to compensate for the additional drag created by turning. Ideally this should be set to approximately 10 x the extra sink rate in m/s created by a 45 degree bank turn. Increase this gain if the aircraft initially loses energy in turns and reduce if the aircraft initially gains energy in turns. Efficient high aspect-ratio aircraft (eg powered sailplanes) can use a lower value, whereas inefficient low aspect-ratio models (eg delta wings) can use a higher value. 0.0 20.0 1 0.5 Maximum descent rate This sets the maximum descent rate that the controller will use. If this value is too large, the aircraft can over-speed on descent. This should be set to a value that can be achieved without exceeding the lower pitch angle limit and without over-speeding the aircraft. 1.0 15.0 m/s 1 0.5 Minimum descent rate This is the sink rate of the aircraft with the throttle set to THR_MIN and flown at the same airspeed as used to measure FW_T_CLMB_MAX. 1.0 5.0 m/s 1 0.5 Speed <--> Altitude priority This parameter adjusts the amount of weighting that the pitch control applies to speed vs height errors. Setting it to 0.0 will cause the pitch control to control height and ignore speed errors. This will normally improve height accuracy but give larger airspeed errors. Setting it to 2.0 will cause the pitch control loop to control speed and ignore height errors. This will normally reduce airspeed errors, but give larger height errors. The default value of 1.0 allows the pitch control to simultaneously control height and speed. Note to Glider Pilots - set this parameter to 2.0 (The glider will adjust its pitch angle to maintain airspeed, ignoring changes in height). 0.0 2.0 1 1.0 Complementary filter "omega" parameter for speed This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary filter used to fuse longitudinal acceleration and airspeed to obtain an improved airspeed estimate. Increasing this frequency weights the solution more towards use of the airspeed sensor, whilst reducing it weights the solution more towards use of the accelerometer data. 1.0 10.0 rad/s 1 0.5 Speed rate P factor 0.0 2.0 2 0.01 TECS Throttle time constant This is the time constant of the TECS throttle control algorithm (in seconds). Smaller values make it faster to respond, larger values make it slower to respond. 1.0 10.0 s 1 0.5 Throttle damping factor This is the damping gain for the throttle demand loop. Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in speed and height. 0.0 2.0 1 0.1 TECS time constant This is the time constant of the TECS control algorithm (in seconds). Smaller values make it faster to respond, larger values make it slower to respond. 1.0 10.0 s 1 0.5 Maximum vertical acceleration This is the maximum vertical acceleration (in m/s/s) either up or down that the controller will use to correct speed or height errors. The default value of 7 m/s/s (equivalent to +- 0.7 g) allows for reasonably aggressive pitch changes if required to recover from under-speed conditions. 1.0 10.0 m/s/s 1 0.5 Enable checks on ESCs that report their arming state. If enabled, failure detector will verify that all the ESCs have successfully armed when the vehicle has transitioned to the armed state. Timeout for receiving an acknowledgement from the ESCs is 0.3s, if no feedback is received the failure detector will auto disarm the vehicle true Enable PWM input on AUX5 or MAIN5 (depending on board) for engaging failsafe from an external automatic trigger system (ATS) External ATS is required by ASTM F3322-18. true The PWM threshold from external automatic trigger system for engaging failsafe External ATS is required by ASTM F3322-18. microseconds 2 FailureDetector Max Pitch Maximum pitch angle before FailureDetector triggers the attitude_failure flag. The flag triggers flight termination (if @CBRK_FLIGHTTERM = 0), which sets outputs to their failsafe values.

This function should be disabled during tuning as it will help the controller to diverge if the closed-loop is unstable (i.e. the vehicle is not tuned yet). Enabling air-mode for yaw requires the use of an arming switch. Disabled Roll/Pitch Roll/Pitch/Yaw Motor Ordering Determines the motor ordering.

Deprioritizing yaw is necessary because multicopters have much less control authority in yaw compared to the other axes and it makes sense because yaw is not critical for stable hovering or 3D navigation.

This origin may move up and down in flight due to sensor drift. Set to 1 to control height relative to estimated distance to ground. The vehicle will move up and down with terrain height variation. Requires a distance to ground sensor. The height controller will revert to using height above origin if the distance to ground estimate becomes invalid as indicated by the local_position.distance_bottom_valid message being false. Set to 2 to control height relative to ground (requires a distance sensor) when stationary and relative to earth frame origin when moving horizontally. The speed threshold is controlled by the MPC_HOLD_MAX_XY parameter. 0 2 Altitude following Terrain following Terrain hold Slow horizontal manual deceleration for manual mode Note: This is only used when MPC_POS_MODE is set to 1. 0.5 10.0 m/s/s 2 1 Deadzone of sticks where position hold is enabled 0.0 1.0 2 Maximum horizontal velocity for which position hold is enabled (use 0 to disable check) 0.0 3.0 m/s 2 Maximum vertical velocity for which position hold is enabled (use 0 to disable check) 0.0 3.0 m/s 2 Jerk limit in auto mode Limit the maximum jerk of the vehicle (how fast the acceleration can change). A lower value leads to smoother vehicle motions, but it also limits its agility. 1.0 80.0 m/s/s/s 1 1 Maximum jerk limit Limit the maximum jerk of the vehicle (how fast the acceleration can change). A lower value leads to smoother vehicle motions, but it also limits its agility (how fast it can change directions or break). Setting this to the maximum value essentially disables the limit. Note: This is only used when MPC_POS_MODE is set to a smoothing mode 1 or 3. 0.5 500.0 m/s/s/s 2 1 Velocity-based jerk limit If this is not zero, a velocity-based maximum jerk limit is used: the applied jerk limit linearly increases with the vehicle's velocity between MPC_JERK_MIN (zero velocity) and MPC_JERK_MAX (maximum velocity). This means that the vehicle's motions are smooth for low velocities, but still allows fast direction changes or breaking at higher velocities. Set this to zero to use a fixed maximum jerk limit (MPC_JERK_MAX). Note: This is only used when MPC_POS_MODE is set to 1. 0 30.0 m/s/s/s 2 1 Altitude for 1. step of slow landing (descend) Below this altitude: - descending velocity gets limited to a value between "MPC_Z_VEL_MAX" and "MPC_LAND_SPEED" - horizontal velocity gets limited to a value between "MPC_VEL_MANUAL" and "MPC_LAND_VEL_XY" for a smooth descent and landing experience. Value needs to be higher than "MPC_LAND_ALT2" 0 122 m 1 Altitude for 2. step of slow landing (landing) Below this altitude descending and horizontal velocities get limited to "MPC_LAND_SPEED" and "MPC_LAND_VEL_XY", respectively.

Useful for velocity control tuning. 1 Smooth position control with maximum acceleration and jerk limits based on slew-rates. 3 Smooth position control with maximum acceleration and jerk limits based on jerk optimized trajectory generator (different algorithm than 1). Simple position control Smooth position control Smooth position control (Jerk optimized) Enforced delay between arming and takeoff For altitude controlled modes the time from arming the motors until a takeoff is possible gets forced to be at least MPC_SPOOLUP_TIME seconds to ensure the motors and propellers can sppol up and reach idle speed before getting commanded to spin faster. This delay is particularly useful for vehicles with slow motor spin-up e.g. because of large propellers. 0 10 s Thrust curve in Manual Mode This parameter defines how the throttle stick input is mapped to commanded thrust in Manual/Stabilized flight mode. In case the default is used ('Rescale to hover thrust'), the stick input is linearly rescaled, such that a centered stick corresponds to the hover throttle (see MPC_THR_HOVER). Select 'No Rescale' to directly map the stick 1:1 to the output. This can be useful in case the hover thrust is very low and the default would lead to too much distortion (e.g. if hover thrust is set to 20%, 80% of the upper thrust range is squeezed into the upper half of the stick range). Note: In case MPC_THR_HOVER is set to 50%, the modes 0 and 1 are the same. Rescale to hover thrust No Rescale Hover thrust Vertical thrust required to hover. This value is mapped to center stick for manual throttle control. With this value set to the thrust required to hover, transition from manual to Altitude or Position mode while hovering will occur with the throttle stick near center, which is then interpreted as (near) zero demand for vertical speed. This parameter is also important for the landing detection to work correctly. 0.1 0.8 norm 2 0.01 Maximum thrust in auto thrust control Limit max allowed thrust 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Minimum thrust in auto thrust control It's recommended to set it > 0 to avoid free fall with zero thrust. 0.05 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Maximum tilt angle in air Limits maximum tilt in AUTO and POSCTRL modes during flight. 20.0 89.0 deg 1 Maximum tilt during landing Limits maximum tilt angle on landing. 10.0 89.0 deg 1 Position control smooth takeoff ramp time constant Increasing this value will make automatic and manual takeoff slower.

This prevents extraneous flight logs from being created during bench testing. Note that this only applies to log-from-boot modes. This has no effect on arm-based modes. Maximum number of log directories to keep If there are more log directories than this value, the system will delete the oldest directories during startup. In addition, the system will delete old logs if there is not enough free space left. The minimum amount is 300 MB. If this is set to 0, old directories will only be removed if the free space falls below the minimum. Note: this does not apply to mission log files. 0 1000 true Mission Log If enabled, a small additional "mission" log file will be written to the SD card. The log contains just those messages that are useful for tasks like generating flight statistics and geotagging. The different modes can be used to further reduce the logged data (and thus the log file size). For example, choose geotagging mode to only log data required for geotagging. Note that the normal/full log is still created, and contains all the data in the mission log (and more). true Disabled All mission messages Geotagging messages Logging Mode Determines when to start and stop logging.

Differential pressure sensor offset The offset (zero-reading) in Pascal Maximum height above ground when reliant on optical flow This parameter defines the maximum distance from ground at which the optical flow sensor operates reliably. The height setpoint will be limited to be no greater than this value when the navigation system is completely reliant on optical flow data and the height above ground estimate is valid. The sensor may be usable above this height, but accuracy will progressively degrade. 1.0 25.0 m 1 0.1 Magnitude of maximum angular flow rate reliably measurable by the optical flow sensor. Optical flow data will not fused by the estimators if the magnitude of the flow rate exceeds this value and control loops will be instructed to limit ground speed such that the flow rate produced by movement over ground is less than 50% of this value 1.0 rad/s 2 Minimum height above ground when reliant on optical flow This parameter defines the minimum distance from ground at which the optical flow sensor operates reliably. The sensor may be usable below this height, but accuracy will progressively reduce to loss of focus. 0.0 1.0 m 1 0.1 Capacity/current multiplier for high-current capable SMBUS battery 1 true Battery device model 0 2 true AutoDetect BQ40Z50 based BQ40Z80 based Airspeed sensor compensation model for the SDP3x Model with Pitot CAL_AIR_TUBED_MM: Not used, 1.5 mm tubes assumed.

This only affects the signal sent to the controllers, not the estimators. 0 disables the filter. 0 1000 Hz true Cutoff frequency for angular acceleration (D-Term filter) The cutoff frequency for the 2nd order butterworth filter used on the time derivative of the measured angular velocity, also known as the D-term filter in the rate controller. The D-term uses the derivative of the rate and thus is the most susceptible to noise. Therefore, using a D-term filter allows to increase IMU_GYRO_CUTOFF, which leads to reduced control latency and permits to increase the P gains.
