MicoAir Optical Flow & Range Sensor MTF-01P Compatible with Ardupilot/PX4/INAV(AUTO FIRMWARE DETECTION)
MicoAir Optical Flow & Range Sensor MTF-01P Compatible with Ardupilot/PX4/INAV(AUTO FIRMWARE DETECTION)
MTF-01P Optical Flow & LiDAR Sensor ModuleMTF-01P is a 2-in-1 optical flow + laser ranging sensor module designed for mainstream open-source flight controller ecosystems. It focuses on fast, hassle-free setup: with automatic detection technology, the module can recognize the connected flight controller firmware and automatically match the appropriate communication protocol, reducing manual configuration and simplifying integration.By using laser-based ToF ranging, MTF-01P is built to handle strong-light environments and deliver stable range/altitude sensing for outdoor use. Combined with optical flow data, it helps improve low-altitude control and positioning performance in real-world flight scenarios. Overall, MTF-01P is made for users who want a practical, easy-to-integrate sensing solution without a complicated setup process.

Product Features
- AUTO FIRMWARE DETECTION & AUTO PROTOCOL MATCHING Built with automatic detection technology to identify the connected flight controller firmware (e.g., ArduPilot / INAV / PX4) and automatically select the correct output protocolno manual protocol setting required. Greatly simplifies setup and reduces configuration errors.
- LASER ToF RANGING FOR LONGER RANGE & STRONG-LIGHT PERFORMANCE Uses a laser-based ToF ranging sensor (LiDAR-style ranging) designed for anti-sunlight interference. Provides an extended ranging capability of 0.0212 m @ 90% reflectivity and helps maintain stable sensing in outdoor/strong light environments.
- HIGH-ACCURACY RANGE DATA WITH SMALL 2 cm DEAD ZONE Ranging dead zone as low as 2 cm. Accuracy specification: 4 cm (0.022 m @ 90% reflectivity) and 2% (>2 m @ 90% reflectivity), providing reliable distance/height input for low-altitude control scenarios.
- 2-IN-1 OPTICAL FLOW + RANGE SENSOR (PMW3901 INSIDE) Integrates PMW3901 optical flow with ToF ranging in a compact module, delivering both motion (flow) and distance information to support positioning and altitude-hold related use cases.
- 100 Hz OUTPUT + UART + COMPACT 8 g DESIGN Outputs data via UART at up to 100 Hz. Supports MAVLink v1 (ArduPilot/PX4), MSP v2 (INAV), and Micolink (FMT), and parameters can be adjusted via MicoAssistant. Compact size 33.2 20.8 16.8 mm, weight 8 g, with temperature compensation.
