DifferentialPressure (UORB message)

Differential-pressure (airspeed) sensor

This is populated by airspeed sensor drivers and used by the sensor module to calculate airspeed. The information is published in the SCALED_PRESSURE_n MAVLink messages (along with information from a corresponding SensorBaro instance).
