TBS Lucid DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor Pro
by Team Black Sheep

The TBS Lucid DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor Pro is a high-precision digital airspeed solution engineered for professional fixed-wing and VTOL platforms. Unlike standard analog sensors that can suffer from signal drift and noise, this Pro version utilizes an industrial-grade DLVR-L10D pressure sensor to deliver exceptional accuracy and resolution. With a remarkably low ±0.30% error margin and 14-bit output, it provides the clean, high-fidelity data required for advanced autopilot functions like TECS (Total Energy Control System) and precise energy management in long-range or soaring missions.

Designed for seamless integration into the DroneCAN ecosystem, this sensor features a standard JST-GH connector and supports both the DroneCAN protocol and direct I2C output. It is fully compatible with ArduPilot and PX4 autopilots, offering a plug-and-play experience that replaces GPS-based airspeed estimation with real-time, high-speed air data. Housed in a compact 4g package, the sensor includes onboard Status LEDs for instant feedback on CAN communication and power state.
