"@Chris,@all Tech info is essential for DIYers. In fact, we posted natives files for customization.
Don't get me wrong, you are right the article is for the builders ("Be sure to checkout the project website for detailed information on how you can…"
"@Hugues, @robert bouwens
Mystery box unveiled :-)Speaking of Do-It-Yourself, overall ADC cost can be a useful information. On the same page where you found "overall cost," at the section "Ratings/Temperature measurement" you have some precise…"
The air data computer Asgard is out. It is a unit designed for DIYers, size and weight are compatible (fixation tabs have the same dimensions of standards servo tabs) with low-cost RC applications. Some aspects will be changed as per users…
Some time ago we presented a free software mini-suite that can be useful to support UAV based survey tasks/general purpose operations.The new Basic Air Data GSP Logger App release was tested at Centre for Geoinformatics, IIFM, Bhopal, India; the…
"@Jay Sorry for the intrusion.Yes, varying inner diameters and tube length will affect measurements (nonstatic airspeed scenario)
To treat the tube you have analytical models (including models validated against wind tunnel tests).Some air data…"
"Following Georacer reply
Usually, the internal surface roughness is not a primary concern. Still, the internal tubing configuration is correlated to the dynamic performance of the instrument,
Pushing the detail further, maybe too much :-). Regarding…"
"@Marc No kit available. Everything necessary to make your own Pitot should be available for free download on the website/Github. If is not the case let me know. Different people have made Pitots/ADCs."
"Hi Jason.The study is not mine nor Basic Air Data.You can discuss with the authors eventually.For me, the relevant aspect is that one BAD probe worked in an acceptable, under many aspects, way."
We've been told that the Basic Air Data, DIY oriented 8 mm probe performed well within a wind tunnel You can read the article about the wind tunnel here. Details within this pdf report.
Figure 1: Mechanical Air Data Boom tested in 4x4 tunnelAir data can be acquired by mean of mechanical probes protruding from the airframe. In many cases was also possible to find a placement for the probe that is out of the body modified airfield.…
