Microbrain Intelligent UAV-H30-1 CAN Terrain Following Radar Sensor (0.2–27 m)

The sensor is designed for seamless integration with open-source flight controllers that support CAN bus peripherals, primarily Pixhawk and Ardupilot ecosystems. Its CAN 2.0B interface outputs standardized distance data packets that these controllers can process for altitude hold and terrain-following functions.

The UAV-H30-1 operates from a wide voltage range of 5 to 24V DC, making it compatible with common UAV power systems (e.g., 5V from a flight controller or directly from a 12V/24V battery). It consumes approximately 3W of power during normal operation.

Yes, the 77-81GHz FMCW radar is capable of simultaneous multi-target detection. It can distinguish between the primary ground return and secondary returns from vegetation canopy, providing both a 'ground distance' and a 'vegetation distance' output, which is crucial for agricultural spraying applications.

The sensor is typically mounted facing downward on the underside of the UAV, using its integrated mounting holes. Connection is made via its provided cable to a CAN port on the flight controller (e.g., Pixhawk CAN bus). Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed view of the ground for optimal performance.

The sensor is rated for industrial-grade operation from -40°C to +85°C. This extreme range ensures reliable performance during high-altitude, cold-weather flights as well as in hot, sunny conditions typical of agricultural operations.
