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.
