Optical Flow and Lidar Setup Tutorial for MTF-01 with Ardupilot/PX4/INAV. perfect for MF-01 users seeking a comprehensive guide to configuring and utilizing this advanced sensor.

Compatible with ArduPilot/PX4/INAV. the MTF-01 module supports multiple open-source flight control systems via various protocols. The default protocol is MAVLink_APM for seamless integration with ArduPilot. while other supported protocols include MSP. Mavlink_VL. and more. Users can freely switch between protocols using the Micoair Assistant software or modify them directly through a USB-to-TTL module. Simply specify your flight control firmware when ordering.

MTF-01 MicoAir Optical Flow Lidar Sensor specifications: Dimension – 29.3 x 24.3 mm. Version – V1.0. Grounding pin – GVRT 2.5mm. Connector type – SH1.0-4P. Operating voltage – 5V. Transmission – Rx Tx.

MicoAir Optical Flow Lidar Sensor Setup Guide for Ardupilot/PX4/INAV:1. Set output protocol to mav_apm_2.2. Connect module to flight controller (e.g.. Telemz).3. Configure SERIAL2 settings: baud rate = 115. protocol = 1.4. Set FLOW_TYPE to 5 and RNGFNDI_TYPE to 10.5. Define RNGFNDL_MIN_CM as 2 and RNGFNDI_MAX_CM as 800.6. Restart controllers; sensor data will update in Mission Planner.7. Switch flight mode to loiter. unlock. and takeoff.

Get started with MTF-01 Micooir: set output protocol to mav_px4. connect module to flight controller like TELEM2. configure settings for TELEM2 (102) and baud rate 115200. Restart controllers and monitor sensor data updates in QGC. including DISTANCE_SENSOR and OPTICAL_FLOW_RAD.

Configure vehicle orientation parameters with MTF-01 Micooir on INAV. ArduPilot/PX4. defaulting to compatible flight controllers.
