01 / COMPARE THE HARDWARE
The main differences at a glance
Consider SKYE 2 when your specification calls for a heated pitot and its higher documented measurement range. Consider Nano when an unheated sensor, its measurement range and low-voltage supply fit the installation. Confirm suitability for your actual operating conditions and controller.
| Feature | SKYE 2 | SKYE 2 Nano |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | DroneCAN | DroneCAN |
| Airspeed measurement range | 0–106 m/s (0–381.6 km/h) | 0–63 m/s (0–226.8 km/h) |
| Pressure sensor | SM5391 | DLVR_L10D |
| Pitot heating | 35 W resistive heating | No heater |
| Accuracy wording | ±1% full scale | 1% in the manufacturer datasheet |
| Power | Sensor / HV HUB ratings must be checked separately; see below | 4.75–5.3 V |
| Protection rating | IP54 when installed as required by CUAV | No IP rating stated in the cited Nano datasheet |
| Flight-stack support | ArduPilot / PX4 | ArduPilot / PX4 |
The Nano speed in m/s is converted from CUAV’s 226.8 km/h figure. Measurement range is not an aircraft speed recommendation. CUAV’s two accuracy descriptions are reproduced as separate specifications, without assuming that they use identical test conditions.
02 / CHECK POWER AT THE RIGHT CONNECTION
Separate the sensor from its power hub
For SKYE 2, CUAV’s product page lists an 18–68 V supply range. Its setup documentation separately lists a 16 V sensor and a 16–68 V input for the HV HUB. These published figures should not be treated as one interchangeable input rating.
SKYE 2: confirm the matched hub
Ask for the supplied revision, SKYE2 HV HUB and connection diagram. CUAV’s setup documentation specifies the SKYE2 HV HUB and says that the earlier SKYE HUB is not compatible.
Nano: check the low-voltage supply
The Nano datasheet specifies 4.75–5.3 V. Check the supply and DroneCAN pinout for your flight controller and cable. Do not apply a SKYE 2 system or hub voltage to the Nano.
Package names alone do not confirm the power architecture. The quotation should identify the sensor, hub and cables being supplied, with the matching wiring documentation.
03 / CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION
What to confirm before buying
Aircraft and operating needs
Share the aircraft type, required airspeed range and operating environment. State whether your project requires a heated pitot. A lower price alone does not establish which model fits the application.
Controller and firmware
Provide the flight-controller model, firmware version and available CAN connection. Both models support ArduPilot and PX4 platforms, but the relevant parameters and calibration must follow the documentation for your actual system.
Probe, cables and mounting
For SKYE 2, confirm the hub and harness. For Nano, confirm the required pitot tube, tubing and cable package. Request the mounting drawing for the revision to be supplied, rather than relying on a product photo.
Quantity and delivery
Include quantity, destination country and postal code, plus your required delivery date. Availability, package contents, freight charges and dispatch timing are confirmed for the quotation.
04 / BUYING QUESTIONS
Resolve the package details
Is Nano simply a smaller heated SKYE 2?
Nano has no heater, and its supply and measurement range differ. Specify the full model name when comparing quotations or requesting a replacement.
Does SKYE 2 pricing include the HV HUB and cables?
Ask for an itemized package. The listed price alone does not establish which hub, harness or mounting accessories are included.
Which dimensions and weight should I use?
Some CUAV SKYE 2 documents publish different size and weight figures. Request the drawing and net weight for the supplied revision if clearance or payload mass is critical. Packed shipping weight is a separate figure.
Can I request a quantity quotation?
Yes. Send the model, quantity, package requirements and destination. AERTRIVA ships from Shenzhen, China, with air or sea freight arrangements confirmed for the order.
