MicoAir MTF-02P Optical Flow & Time-of-Flight (ToF) Range Sensor (UART, ArduPilot / MSP / PX4)

Achieve stable precision hovering and GPS-denied indoor navigation for micro and commercial drones with the genuine MicoAir MTF-02P optical flow and LiDAR distance sensor module. Combining an integrated optical flow camera with a high-accuracy Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser rangefinder in a compact, lightweight housing, the MTF-02P provides real-time ground tracking and precise altitude measurement.

Operating via a straightforward UART interface, the MTF-02P features built-in sensor fusion algorithms that output processed velocity and range data directly to flight controllers running ArduPilot, PX4, or INAV/MSP. It is an ideal solution for indoor inspection UAVs, educational drone platforms, and outdoor autonomous drones requiring reliable low-altitude terrain following and drift-free hovering without relying on satellite positioning.

Key Features:

• Dual Sensor Integration: Combines high-speed optical flow vision tracking with a ToF laser distance sensor in a single module.

• GPS-Denied Autonomous Hovering: Enables rock-steady position holding and altitude control indoors or in GPS-sharded environments.

• Multi-Firmware Support: Natively compatible with ArduPilot, PX4, and INAV via standard UART communication protocols.

• Integrated Sensor Fusion: Onboard processor handles image processing and range calculations, reducing CPU load on the main flight controller.

• Ultra-Compact & Lightweight: Fits easily onto micro drones and tight UAV frames without adding significant weight or drag.
