APM 2.5 factory sensor calibration

Posted by Martin Schmid on May 13, 2013 at 4:51am

Hi community,

I want to find out how accurate and how relyable the APM 2.5 sensors are. The sensors that I'm interested in are: baro, airspeed, compass and acceleration. Do you know whether the sensors are calibrated at 3DR or maybe at their original factory?

To get the accuracy I also need the resolution of the sensors. I already had a look into the datasheets but not everthing is clear for me.

Thanks for your help!

Greets,

Martin

Hi, some (all?) of the sensors were factory calibrated, and none as far as I know at 3DR.

Anyway - a UAV is an environment with acoustic and electromagnetic noise + vibrations. The sensor accuracy does not set the limits.
