Where can I get the optical flow sensor for APM 2.5?

Posted by Rui Zou on April 8, 2013 at 8:05am

I'm working on some project in a shielding lab where GPS won't work. We're got 4 arducopters with APM 2.5. Since we need the arducopters to hold their position accurately without GPS, I'm thinking about using the optical flow sensor. However, I found that the old OF sensor for AMP 2.5 is not in stock. The PX4flow looks good, but it seems that it only works with the PX4 borad. 

Does anyone know if the optical flow sensor will be back in stock? If not, is there a replacement for it?

Thanks.

    I ordered one online from BYOD UK and recieved a jdrones unit. Figured out the correct wiring from the wiki, soldered it up and ran the test in CLI. Works like a charm.

    I noticed them in the Japan 3DR store, but they haven't been here for many months.

    The one that is available for the PX4 is quite a bit higher quality and it is available.

    However, I don't think the ArduPilot version of the software for it exists yet.
