Holybro PMW3901 Optical Flow Sensor

£24.90

This sensor works the same way as an optical mouse. It uses a low-resolution camera and some clever algorithms to detect motion of surfaces, helping your drone maintain position without GPS by looking for x/y motion of the ground below!

The Holybro PMW3901 Optical Flow Sensor is a UART version of PMW3901 module with built in BEC. It comes pre-solder with 6pin JST GH connector made to connect right to TELEM ports on most flight controller. Compatible with PX4 (PX4 Guide) & Ardupilot (Data format same as discontinued product CX-OF ).
