PIDS
PIDS are highly dependent on flight setup, which includes props, battery size, externally mounted camera, etc. and also when new firmware versions are released. With each component change, the values in gyro filters and/or other features will be needed to tune again. The user postings of PIDS is to provide an approximate value covering a specific flight setup, so that pilots can tune further from there.

Cleanflight

- Short BOOT0 to 3.3V (3.3V is the V between G V K D). On standalone NAZE32 boards, there are BOOT pads/pins/buttons, but this allinone board does not have these pads. We have to get to BOOT0 off of the STM32 chip. See attached photo, 5th pin from the right.
- Connect Battery (this will put the board into DFU mode. No green red LEDs/nor any beeps will be seen/heard. Only a solid blue LED will turn on)
- Connect USB
- Disconnect battery
- Reconnect battery
- Firmware will flash and a message Programming successful will display on Cleanflight
