MicoAir MT-06 UAV Drone Optical Flow and Distance Sensor

MicoAir MT-06 UAV Drone Optical Flow and Distance Sensor

Description:

The MicoAir MT-06 is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) rangefinder that delivers precise low-altitude distance measurements up to 6 metres. Bypassing the ground-effect inaccuracies of standard barometers, it feeds reliable, centimetre-level altitude data to your flight controller for autonomous platforms, indoor commercial builds and terrain-following camera rigs in GPS-denied environments.

Key features

• Provides centimetre-level ground-effect immunity where standard barometers drift.
• Feeds low-latency altitude data at 50Hz for automated landing sequences and terrain following.
• Supports UART (Micolink/Mavlink/MSP) and I2C output, with official support for Ardupilot, PX4, INAV and FMT.
• Tiny 16 x 12 x 10mm, 0.8g module works reliably even in sunlight.
