Hessel commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Preparing ArduPilot for version 2.1 (with Z sensor)
"Ok. I don't have the pressure sensor attached but I still get a airspeed readout that (nummeric in the middle of the dial) that seems to vary when I wave my hand near the z-sensor. Is the output of the z-sensor also used to calculate the airspeed?…"
