TBS Lucid DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor Pro

The TBS Lucid DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor Pro measures differential pressure for fixed-wing aircraft, VTOL platforms and other autonomous UAV builds, communicating over DroneCAN to avoid the EMI and cable-length limits of a plain I2C sensor.

Key features

• DroneCAN (UAVCAN v0) interface over a JST-GH connector, with a direct I2C fallback mode for controllers without a CAN bus.
• ±0.30% accuracy across a ±250 km/h airspeed range, enough resolution for stall warnings and automated landing approaches.
• Ships complete with a stainless steel pitot tube and silicone tubing, ready to mount and wire in.
• Status LEDs show CAN communication and power state at a glance during setup and troubleshooting.
• Runs on 4-6V at around 60mA, and is rated for -20°C to 85°C operation.
