Analog Airspeed sensor

The way this airspeed sensor works is that the top tube is “active”
(measures air pressure from the pitot tube that is open at the front and has air driven into it by airspeed)
and the bottom one is “static” (measures ambient air pressure from tube with intakes on the side).

Connect the active sensor port using silicon tube to the straight tube exiting from the rear of the pitot tube.
The angled tube is the static part connecting to the static port of the sensor (the port on the sensor closest to the PCB)

APM/Pixhawk Analog Airspeed Pin and Wiring
1. For Pixhawk

- The “airspeed” pin 15 is located on a 3 pin DF13 connector on the Pixhawk board.

- This pin can take voltages up to 6.6V (it has an internal voltage divider).

- The air pressure connector (labeled ADC 6.6V) is a 3 pin connector on the top right of the Pixhawk.

- Wire the airspeed sensor’s signal wire to pin 2 (the center pin) of the connector.

2. For APM
- Plug it into the pins on the “A0” port.

- Assign the airspeed sensor to an appropriate “PIN” in Mission Planner - Configuration - Advanced Params - Adv Parameter List.

- Set the ARSPD_PIN parameter to 11 in the Advanced Parameter List and select “Write Parameters”.
