← TechnologyWhich control issue manifests when PID gains in a drone flight controller are excessively high?
A)Oscillations and instability✓
B)Integral windup and motor saturation
C)Reduced responsiveness to pilot input
D)Drift due to sensor noise amplification
💡 Explanation
When PID gains are excessively high, the flight controller overreacts to small errors, causing sustained oscillations because proportional, integral, and derivative terms amplify noise and lead to instability. Therefore flight oscillations result, rather than windup, reduced responsiveness, or drift which have different triggering conditions.
