MicoAir MTF-01P Optical Flow & 12m Range 2IN1 Sensor

The MicoAir MTF-01P is a high-performance 2-in-1 sensor module integrating a PMW3901 optical flow sensor with a 12-meter laser Time-of-Flight (ToF) rangefinder. Designed to deliver stable indoor navigation and altitude holding without relying on GPS, it features an injection-molded protective housing and multi-protocol UART communication for seamless setup across ArduPilot, PX4, INAV, and FMT flight control systems.

You can switch the active protocol output using MicoAir's free MicoAssistant software on Windows via a USB-to-TTL adapter or using ArduPilot's serial passthrough feature.

• For INAV, set the module's protocol to MSP.

• For ArduPilot, set the module's protocol to mav_apm.

• For PX4, set the module's protocol to mav_px4.
