Continuing the discussion from Toms post about his Stall.
If we could develop a cost effective AOA sensor that is reliable I think this is the ultimate solution for stall prevention. Although, I don't think it completely rules out the need for stall detection and recovery as nothing is 100% bullet proof.

Whoops, I mean Angle of Attack sensor not Attach.

Id' say this discussion warrents an issue instead of a DD thread. Lets use this: https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/2928

Looks rather large. Dont all we need is two differential baros?

That one is the vane style, CANBUS.
Either method should work.

Does it really warrant an entire co-processor?

Either method will work... Technically there is a processor in the diff sensor as well. Whatever works.
The advantage of CAN, is that you won't need to worry about noise in your connections.
The disadvantage... Early days, so nothing is very developed yet.

I have asked Jürgen to post a more detailed description, it is based on the DIY solution with the Rotational Encoder and Ball bearing, it could have uses in other applications other than a AOA sensor.
Hope fully have some CANESC's soon;

Nice.
Are you going OSHW?

I started the same project about a year ago, to achieve more efficient cruising and more safe landings on large airframes.
I designed few different prototypes and tried to convince few developers that an AoA sensor was a great thing to have. Unfortunately there wasn't interest and I'm unable to write the firmware for them so the project got to a stand still.
My prototype was based on a Vane style with Hall effect sensor as encoder. CAN bus was the only reasonable choice for me too.

Please see Jurgens post here for more details of the AOA sensor.
