FlyingRC Pitotless Digital Airspeed Meter
A digital airspeed sensor that estimates airspeed without a pitot tube. It is meant to give fixed-wing firmware useful airspeed information while avoiding external pitot plumbing.
Best used for
- Fixed-wing aircraft where a pitot tube is hard to install or easy to damage.
- ArduPilot users who want airspeed-related flight features.
- Thermal soaring experiments that use ArduPilot automatic soaring support.
Key features
- Manual states support for automatic thermal soaring with ArduPilot firmware.
- Designed as a sensor accessory rather than a main flight controller.
- Includes ArduPilot setup/configuration workflow in the manual.
Setup / wiring notes
- Configure in ArduPilot before relying on airspeed-dependent modes.
- Test readings on the bench and in safe flight conditions.
Check before use
- Treat it as a flight-aid sensor; verify behavior before using it for critical autonomy.
