Hex HereFlow Optical Flow Sensor
The Hex HereFlow Optical Flow Sensor is a lightweight optical flow sensor that includes a short-range lidar. It uses the CAN protocol to communicate with the autopilot. This sensor can be used to improve horizontal position control, especially in GPS denied environments.
The flow sensor should be mounted on the underside of the copter with the camera lens pointing downwards. The side of the sensor with the lens should be towards the front of the vehicle. The sensor needs more than 60 lux lighting or an LED for dark locations.
Please note that the TOF sensor is not a replacement for a more expensive SF11 or similar. For best results, get a good LIDAR. Also, keep the lenses clean as these units are not waterproof.
