Recommended Airspeed Sensor? #29

Closed dmazan closed 2 years ago

Did you find a particular airspeed sensor that worked well? Worth having two, one on each wing?

StephenCarlson commented 2 years ago

I've been using this one: https://store.mrobotics.io/mRo-I2C-Airspeed-Sensor-JST-GH-p/m10030a.htm

It is a bit pricy, but there should be a Matek equivalent. I'm considering making the pitot tube shaft even bigger to accommodate different styles, if you can provide images with measurements of examples you would like to have implemented?

Only one tube is needed, no reason to have two unless you really want to?

Thanks. Both Matek and Holybro offer similar units for $20-$25 less. I'll let you know if I end up going that route.
