Differential-pressure airspeed sensor with pitot kit
The ET-S43 is built around the Sensirion SDP810-500Pa — digital differential pressure ±500Pa, temperature compensated, factory calibrated, no zero drift. It connects over I²C 0x25 and is powered from VIN 2.7–5.5V direct (no LDO/shifter needed).
Two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors let you chain it with other boards without soldering, and the 2.54 mm header fits a breadboard.
Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.
Good for
- Fixed-wing drone airspeed
- Duct and HVAC airflow
- Wind-tunnel experiments
Key features
What makes it different
Sensor
Sensirion SDP810-500Pa: digital differential pressure ±500Pa, temperature compensated, factory calibrated, no zero drift
Airspeed
±500Pa ≈ 0–28 m/s (≈100 km/h) at sea level. 125Pa variant for slow flight/HVAC
Interface
I2C 0x25
Supply
VIN 2.7–5.5V direct (no LDO/shifter needed)
Qwiic / STEMMA QT
Two JST-SH connectors plus a 2.54 mm header — 3.3 V and 5 V hosts.
