I'm waiting on the fix for PID 2 (that I'm currently testing) to be put on the next release before I update

Can someone explain what a "PID controller" is? I've seen it in CleanFlight, but didn't know what it was.
Not using PID 2 on my Warpquad as I haven't tuned it for that yet but will soon. Been busy with the FPV side lately. I will have a PID 2 video out in the next 24hrs hopefully. It's half finished currently...
I finally figured out what you guys are talking about. This has to do with the "PID Controller" drop-down menu in CleanFlight on the "PID Tuning" tab. Shesh... I've always been using 0 because I had no idea what that was so I never changed it. Okay, I'm NOT asking what PIDs are or for anyone to explain them... what are "PID Controllers"? I'm guessing the answer is... PID Controllers are the brains that read and interpret the stick inputs and read the PID tuning that has been done to figure out how to adjust the motors in order to achieve what it is being instructed to do. The different "PID Controllers" must be different generations or iterations of that software written by different people. Uh, right?

Correct, PID 2 is a floating point PID controller so has a separate section. Exactly why, well one of the PID guru's will have to tell you that but I think its how it stores the settings or something.
PID 1 and 2 have a much more linear feel "out of the box" and the rest fee like they have heaps of expo "out of the box" so one feels soft and the other feels twitchy. With PID 1 and 2 I tend to run higher roll/pitch rates and lower RCrates and with the other I tend to run lower roll/pitch rates and higher RCrates. This gives them a similar feel.
BTW: Your Yaw P term seems awfully low for a mini....or was that for a tricopter? Ummm ok forget what I wrote the tri might be quite different, it's been a while since I've dabbled with them....
I don't want to mess this discussion up as I am fairly inexpert, but it seems like the PID Controller, (which I only see a selective option in Cleanflight), is not completely unlike an entirely different fork or version of firmware for each one.
With all the different things that each one does, it is somewhat similar to having stock firmware on a KK2.1, then flashing RC911 or Steveis, etc. Kind of like CF 1.8.0 PC 1, CF 1.8.0 PC 3, CF 1.8.0 PC 5, etc.
With clearly lacking the specific knowledge, I changed from PC 0 to a few others without changing any other settings and with each one the quad went crazy all over the place.
