Join us as we take to the skies and explore the cutting-edge world of AI-tuned drones! In this video, we'll be putting the latest drone technology to the test, featuring the innovative OddityRC Xi20 quadcopter. With its advanced AI coding agent, we'll dive into the world of betaflight pid tuning and see just how far we can push the limits of flight. From dynamic idle to custom betaflight settings, we'll cover it all. Whether you're a seasoned FPV pilot or just starting out, you won't want to miss this in-depth look at the future of drone flight. So, buckle up and get ready to take your skills to new heights with the power of AI tuning!
This is Still Tuning - Just with a Modern Twist
What you're seeing here is very much still tuning-just not the traditional way. Instead of sitting down with sliders and graphs in PIDToolbox, we're feeding Blackbox logs to an AI coding agent that tweaks the tune for us.
The end result? It's still a custom PID and filter setup tailored to this exact quad and flying style-but done faster, and with way fewer human errors or guesswork. Traditional tuning via PIDToolbox is still powerful, but this method streamlines the process massively and lets you get back in the air quicker, with a tune that can evolve as fast as you do.
What's Next: Full PIDToolbox Tune with Manus.IM
In the next video, I'm going full-blown AI with PIDToolbox.
We'll be using manus.im-a powerful AI to tune the Xi20 from scratch using a containerised PIDToolbox setup and detailed Blackbox flight logs. It's all AI this time-no sliders, no manual tweaks-just deep, automated tuning for those who love getting into the weeds… but honestly can't be bothered to do it the old way.
I made one mistake in the drone's setup when talking to the AI-spot it? Drop a comment if you know what it was. And if you're flying an OddityRC XI20 PRO (O3), I'll send you this exact tune!
