I m trying to connect my optical flow sensor to my APM 2.5 but having a very hard time.
I have successfully uploaded the pde test file and install the python 2.7 and uploaded the python script successfully but nothing I send in a I and a M and no data is returned.
I was afraid the low light was an issue so I used LED's and I turned the lens in and out over and over again and nothing.

Hello all!
This is my first post. I would be very grateful if you can help me with my Optical Flow problem.
My setup is APM 2.5 flashed with AC 3.2. I received the OptFlow sensor and connected the device to APM as per the instructions. I cut and soldered 3V jumper as per instructions. Now the tricky part.
1. My APM 2.5 terminal does not work. A recent post I read stated AC v3.2 does not have working CLI terminal on purpose.
2. If using Pyton test code I get "can't init 3080" and the sketch does not show any image whatsoever.
3. If I enable OptFlow in MP nothing happens.
Could anyone share detailed guide how to get this running? Also, could you advise me how can I really benefit from OptFlow in practice?
Thank you
Ok I have uploaded the arducopter 2.9b and went to the CLI to test the optflow but it just gives 0's on the output.
So what is the steps?
1. Download ArduCopter 2.9b from the repository
2. Upload it thru Arduino IDE
3. Upload optical flow test pde (I was under the impression if you upload this it will override the previous code set)
4. Use the python to test the optical flow.
It is plugged in as in the described as here
