Noise / vibration visible in blackbox logs
Blackbox logs show a clear noise spike, even if the flight feels okay.
💡 The idea: Find the frequency, then decide if it's mechanical or a filter problem.
Try these in order
Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.
-
1
Use Blackbox Explorer's Spectrum Analyzer to find the frequency peak
Motor/prop noise typically sits above 250Hz — locate it before tuning blind.
-
2
Check mechanical causes first
Bent props, loose hardware, and unbalanced motors are common root causes.
-
3
Tune dynamic notch / gyro lowpass to target the identified frequency
Once mechanical causes are ruled out.
