TBS Lucid DroneCAN 150A Hall Sensor

The TBS Lucid DroneCAN 150A Hall Sensor is a high-reliability, non-invasive current monitoring solution designed for high-power FPV drones and professional sUAS platforms. Unlike traditional current sensors that rely on shunt resistors—which can generate excessive heat and risk failure under high loads—this sensor utilizes a hall-effect mechanism. This allows for precise current measurement without being "in-line" with the power circuit, providing ultimate reliability for heavy-lift quads, cinematic rigs, and long-range fixed-wing aircraft.

Factory calibrated for both offset and sensitivity, the sensor delivers accurate real-time data directly to your flight controller via the DroneCAN protocol. It features dual JST-GH connectors for easy daisy-chaining with other DroneCAN peripherals, such as GPS or airspeed sensors, simplifying your wiring harness. Fully compatible with ArduPilot and PX4, it supports the AP_Periph firmware and can be easily updated via the DroneCAN GUI tool, ensuring your telemetry system remains future-proof.
