PX4FLOW V1.3.1 Optical Flow Sensor Smart Camera

The PX4Flow V1.3.1 is an optical flow smart camera that calculates optical flow using a 752×480 pixel resolution image sensor. It processes images to determine the motion of the camera relative to the ground, which is useful for position stabilization in drones. It operates effectively in various lighting conditions, both indoors and outdoors, without additional illumination.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not expose the sensor lens to direct sunlight as it may damage the sensor.,
• Prevent Physical Damage: Avoid physical shocks or excessive vibration during operation to prevent damage to the sensor.

• Ensure Proper Lighting: For optimal performance, ensure the environment is well-lit when using the sensor outdoors.,
• Check Compatibility: Ensure that the device you are connecting the sensor to is compatible with a 5V power supply and can communicate via the interfaces provided.

• Description: The sensor consumes 115 mA of current, so ensure the power source can supply at least this amount continuously.

• Description: The sensor should be operated only with a 5V DC power supply.

• Description: Connect the sensor to a compatible microcontroller or computer using the appropriate communication interfaces as described in the hookup guide.

• Description: Connect the sensor to a 5V power supply ensuring correct polarity.
