TBS DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor

If your autopilot has been “guesstimating” airspeed like a dodgy weather app, the TBS DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor is your upgrade path. Armed with the DLVR-L10D digital pressure sensor, STM32G473CE brain, and ArduPilot AP-Periph firmware, it delivers industrial-grade accuracy across planes, VTOLs, and other UAVs. Translation: reliable, low-drift, high-precision airspeed data your flight controller can actually trust. Because “close enough” doesn’t cut it when you’re 300m up.

Why You Want It

Because analog sensors sag harder than a 10-cycle LiPo. The DroneCAN Airspeed unit runs digital, with <1% error and stable readings across temperature swings. It’s plug-and-play with PX4 or ArduPilot boards, wrapped in a rugged aluminium shell that won’t complain when your landing is more “arrival” than “touchdown.”

Setup

DroneCAN Mode

• Verify the following parameters are set on your autopilot via your ground station.
• CAN_P1_DRIVER = 1 (assuming its on the first CAN bus of the autopilot)
• ARSPD_TYPE = 8 (DroneCAN)

I2C Mode

• ARSPD_TYPE = 9 (DLVR-10)
• ARSPD_USE = 1 to enable using the sensor on autopilots external I2C bus

What’s in the Box*

• 1× TBS DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor Module
• 1× Pitot tube
• Silicone tubing

Disclaimer

Yes, it’s industrial-grade. No, that doesn’t make it crash-proof. Fly responsibly.

Still Here?

If you’re still reading, you probably memorise CAN bus pinouts for fun. Respect. The TBS DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor gives your PX4/ArduPilot rig sub-1% accurate airspeed data, rugged aluminium housing, and hassle-free DroneCAN integration. Add it to your cart — your autopilot deserves better than “close enough.”
