MPXV7002DP Air Speed Sensor And Pitot Tube Set for APM

Do you want your APM airspeed to be read very accurately?, the APM Digital Airspeed Sensor, which comes with a pitot tube, is the only option to consider. The APM PX4 autopilot system must be used in conjunction with this MPXV7002DP Air Speed Sensor and Pitot Tube Set for APM. This device can record incredibly accurate airspeed data because of its low offset, high resolution digital pressure sensor. Unlike prior analog airspeed systems, this sensor is immune to deviations induced by ratio-metric outputs and noise from lengthy cables.

With data supplied at 14 bits from a 24 bit sensor, the Measurement Specialities 4525DO sensor can measure speeds of up to 100m/s (223mph/360kmh) with a 0.84 Pa.In order to calculate the correct airspeed from the indicated airspeed using the MS5611 static pressure sensor on the APM PX4, this airspeed sensor also includes an integrated temperature sensor. This unit is only useful if you are using the fixed-wing code in the APM, thus if you are flying many copters, you do not need it. With the use of bipolar processing, thin-film metallization, and sophisticated micromachining processes, this proprietary single element transducer produces an accurate, high-level analog output signal that is proportionate to the applied pressure. Positive and negative pressure can be measured with the MPXV7002 device. Furthermore, this new series permits the measurement of pressure up to 7kPa through each port for both vacuum and pressure sensing (see to the transfer function in the data sheet for more extensive information), with an offset precisely at 2.5V instead of the traditional 0V.

Airspeed does some help with heavy wind, slow speed flying and automatic landing.
