Hi there, sorry, didn't see this.

You need to load the example sketch that's found in the AP_OpticalFlow library for it to work with the image grabber python script.  I didn't want to build out the whole image grabbing thing into the main arducopter code so I put it in a separate sketch.  Grabbing the image is only really required when you're first setting up your optical flow and want to make sure that you have the lense focussed properly.

HI Randy,

Ah, that explains. Let me figure this out over the next few days. Never uploaded an individual sketch, so I'll have to figure that out first and take it from there.

 

When that all works, what can I expect from the optical flow? What behavior should I see from the Hexa?

 

Thanks!

Alexander
