BAR30 incompitable with Cube Orange Plus

Ahh, I was not aware you are trying to use ArduPlane.

Both the Bar30 and KellerLD are instantiated as water barometers, so I wouldn’t be surprised if ArduPlane just ignores them because it’s assumed planes are not operating underwater.

I did some poking around in the barometer code, and that is indeed the case. In particular:

  1. Only ArduSub includes the relevant sensor backends
  2. Only ArduSub allows probing those sensor types
  3. Only ArduSub includes the water density parameter

If you want to use water barometers with plane firmware then you’ll need to build a custom version of the plane firmware that changes those checks.
