smartmicro Drone Altimeter is now included in the ArduPilot documentation

For UAV developers and integrators, clear technical documentation is an important part of evaluating and integrating sensor technology into real-world drone platforms.

The ArduPilot documentation now includes the smartmicro T132 Drone Altimeter as a radar-based distance sensor with a DroneCAN interface, which can be used as a rangefinder with ArduPilot.

The documentation highlights key capabilities including altitude measurement up to 175 m, DroneCAN communication, and suitability for UAV applications, including operation in GNSS-denied environments.

This is another valuable step in making smartmicro radar altimeter technology more accessible within the drone development ecosystem.

With reliable height-above-ground measurement, DroneCAN compatibility, and robust performance in challenging airborne environments, the smartmicro Drone Altimeter supports UAV applications where precise altitude data is essential.
