Description

Ainstein’s UAV Standard Radar Altimeter US-D1 is a must-have mmWave Radar sensor, enabling autonomous takeoff and autonomous landings for drones, as well as terrain tracking commonly required for precision agriculture.

Do you plan to fly over lakes or the ocean? It’s normal for your UAV’s components to get wet from the choppy water, or simply from rain or fog. Worried your expensive UAV electronics getting coated in mist from agricultural spraying, or covered in dust during takeoffs and landings? Worry no more! We’ve designed US-D1 to meet IP67 requirements, the highest Ingress Protection rating for dust and water; so it is impervious to these conditions and more, providing better performance and a longer lifespan for your UAV.

Just Plug and Play: With a simple data packet and drivers in both PX4 and Ardupilot control stacks. US-D1 is ready to go!

 

Please note: We only have a UART driver for Ardupilot and not CAN. The CAN Bus that CAN HI and CAN LOW are connected to must be between -2V and 5V power supply or it is at risk of burning the hardware. Under no circumstances will Ainstein be held responsible or liable in any way for any claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs or liabilities whatsoever from your use of the US-D1 outside the range a -2V and 5V power supply.
