This tutorial aims to conduct PID tuning in a way that prepares the drone for [Using SLAM In GPS Denied Environment For Position Estimation](https://gaas.gitbook.io/guide/software-realization-build-your-own-autonomous-drone/build-your-own-autonomous-drone-part-3-using-slam-in-gps-denied-environment-for-position-estimation). In the next episode, we will be implementing the same software and algorithms as the ones in [Autonomous Drone Software E03](https://gaas.gitbook.io/guide/software-realization-build-your-own-autonomous-drone/build-your-own-autonomous-drone-part-3-using-slam-in-gps-denied-environment-for-position-estimation) in the drone. Please take a look at Software E03 before attempting the next tutorial.
