Just downloaded the 2.12.4 Version and will try to get some debug data
If you like I can send you one of these sensors (if you are in the EU... US takes ages) . I got 2 :-)
Perhaps we can find the issue with the debug messages. In a second stage, if I do not find the issue, then getting a sensor could help. I am in EU (Belgium).
looks good, values are definitely changing when blowing over it

In the version you tested I made 2 changes:
I made a new version 2.12.5 in order to manage negative pressure (the sensor is differential and so some values can be negative. Without this correction, negative values were processed as very big values and could generate wrong results. I hope it help to get more realistic airspeed.
you're a wizard :-) depending, which port gets the air pressure the value is pos or neg now. I guess ignoring pos/neg makes the most sense since its irrelevant for the application
rawPres=-30229 rawPres=-28695 rawPres=-1945446 rawPres=-40881 rawPres=-51391 rawPres=-27898 rawPres=-88071 rawPres=-73877 rawPres=-324429 rawPres=-889948 rawPres=898187 rawPres=773595 rawPres=-70024 rawPres=79785 rawPres=1257551 rawPres=700077 rawPres=-64377 rawPres=-61067 rawPres=1076767 rawPres=-61751 rawPres=-35367 rawPres=-30116 rawPres=-29381
hmm. at the same time there seems to be a lot of noise
rawPres=1733 rawPres=3086 rawPres=-218 rawPres=1984 rawPres=4579 rawPres=1337 rawPres=175 rawPres=-1214 rawPres=-2869 rawPres=-1598 rawPres=-1104 rawPres=1779 rawPres=1744 rawPres=862 rawPres=335 rawPres=-1252 rawPres=-547 rawPres=103 rawPres=246 rawPres=1398 rawPres=1641 rawPres=-8 rawPres=-348
Yes but this is perhaps not so abnormal. A raw value like 2000 means in fact a pressure of 0.25 Pa which is equivalent to a speed of 2km/h
Best is to check the airspeed calculated by oXs and see if it is realistic.
Do not expect an realistic value when speed is less than about 15 km/h because this result of very low difference of pressure. When speed get higher, then accuracy/noise of airspeed becomes better.
FYI tTaking into account the negative values is not bad:
ok cool
Currently this is all a crude test setup botched together with some wires. I now ordered stuff to actually mount it to my glider. I would assume I put it in the plane, hook up SBUS and tweak the compensation adjustment channel until I get a consistent result. Is this correct !?
Which oXs version should I use now? The master or still test?
Use always test branch. I put all new functions there. Still take care that there can be some not yet known bugs.
Some users tested the airspeed while running with a car. One man drives the car, another hold the pitot tube outside. The value is read on the handset.
Do I have to change the k value in the code or is the calibration done solely done with the compensation channel ?
You have to change manually in config.h the value for XGZP_K_FACTOR It depends on the max pressure of the model you selected. Here the text in config.h
// 8192.0 is the value when max sensor pressure is 1000Pa (1kPa) like XGZP6897D001KPDPN
The compensation is a parameter used only for the compensated aispeed. it does not matter to calculate the airspeed.
I dont really care for airspeed, I'm just interested in the vario compensation. So my thought was not to bother with the k value. Also in the datasheet, all models below 1kPa have the same k value.
hmm I wanted to do the calibration, I used the current test branch 2.13.1 and I get changing raw values. However with FV airspeed is always 0. I did not hook up a receiver and just used usb

What do you mean with "calibration"?
At power on oXs makes several (32) measurements and uses the average as offset. So this is an automatic calibration.
ok I get now also Airspeed. But I guess you need to show the absolute value, because I get neg values :-)

I use negative values because they can help during the calibration process (to calculate offset) Do you test with a pitot tube or just applying a pressure on one of the entry of the sensor? With a pitot tube, you should try to invert the 2 tubes (this should invert the sign.

In Test is the 3.3V 500Pa Variant. Currently the sensor is recognized, but no measurements are displayed when using FV. In parallel a GY-63 is connected so I²c should be terminated without using pullups
