Description
This is a stand-alone airspeed sensor kit, including a Pitot Tube, silicone tube and a cable for your flight controller Cube, Pixhawk, etc. (ArduPilot).
Thanks to this module, your autopilot will be able to use air speed based functionalities like automatic landing etc.
This kit uses Measurement Specialities 4525DO sensor which is currently the best. It is used for most applications. It has high resolution and low offset which allow registering extremely precise air speed readings. Since it works I2C, it doesn't not suffer from noise or offsets caused by long cables like for analog sensors. There is also a built-in sensor to allow calculation of TAS (true airspeed) with MS5611 static pressure sensor from Pixhawk PX4.
