HobbyKing airspeed sensor

Just seen this.  Certainly should bel be compatible with Ardupilot APM and probably other AP's too. ( Airspeed sensor can dramatically improve RTH accuracy if its windy )

Not a bad find at all :)

It won't work with the MFD AP though if anyone wonders

Why not. I'm sure I pointed Ipeel at it and he has an MFD one?

It just puts out the raw measurements. The MFD Version has a microcontroller on it and directly processes the measurements of the airspeed sensor and communicates with the autopilot with a serial interface.

Would this work on the pixhawk, or is this for the apm 2.5/2.6?

Yes it will work on the Pixhawk as well

Cool but I would guess more expensive  :laugh:

EDIT : and the hardware part should work. Wonder if they do that on its own...
