Key Features
30ms Extremely Fast Response
With an integrated 32-bit processor and dual filtering (hardware + software), the SUI04 provides extremely fast and accurate detection (30ms response), solving the delay problems common to many other ultrasonic modules. It’s ideal for use in precision applications such as agricultural drones and beginner drone training, helping avoid obstacles in real time.
Compatible flight controllers: RadioLink CrossFlight, CrossRace, PIXHAWK, Mini Pix, TURBO PiX (requires Copter V3.5.7 firmware upgrade).
60° Beam Angle, Zero Fade Area
Each SUI04 sensor transmits and receives within a 60° cone, enabling complete coverage with no blind spots. Used in conjunction with six units and an I2C expansion board, it allows real-time, all-directional detection (forward, backward, left, right, upward, downward).
High Precision of 0.4cm
The SUI04 boasts a detection accuracy of 0.4cm, ensuring that even small and near-range obstacles are detected with high reliability, supporting safer and smoother flight.
Compact & Lightweight Design
Measuring only 20×22×19mm and weighing just 8g (with wires), the SUI04 is optimized for drones with limited payload capacity. The all-in-one transmitter-receiver module makes installation on small airframes easy—even for 210mm-class FPV racers.
