Description

An air data computer (ADC) is an essential avionics component found in modern aircraft. This unit can determine True Airspeed, Mach number, Altitude, and common air properties from a pitot-static probe data and an outside air temperature probe.

This repository, together with the media published on the BasicAirData website, contains the information to build from scratch a recreational grade DIY Air Data Computer. This device can transmit data via USB serial port and Bluetooth, and log all data on a MicroSD.

The project is a work in progress

This Air Data Computer can be controlled sending plain text messages from any serial / bluetooth terminal.
We are developing Air Data Bridge, a simple app for Android devices to connect via Bluetooth and use this ADC on-the-field in an easy way.

Questions

What parts does the ADSSBb0.1 use?

18 parts, built around the AD7856ANZ and MAX7375AXR405+T. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the ADSSBb0.1 KiCad files?

From the BasicAirData/AirDataComputer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/kicad4ADSb0.1/ADSSBb0.1/ADSSBb0.1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ADSSBb0.1 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BasicAirData before reusing the design.
