I have my 1st plane nearly setup…
Running the latest firmware of everything.

My problem is the Matek Lidar - I have a "BAD OPTFLOW ERROR)

Matek LIDAR SENSOR 3901-L0X
Matek GPS
Matek Digital Airspeed
CrossFire Micro Receiver with the Sevro Adapter
Twin Motor Binary Airplane

GPS and Airspeed Working perfect on bench (although i need to unplug and plug back in every so often on initial boot up)

My problem is the Matek Lidar - I have a "BAD OPTFLOW ERROR)

TX from LIDAR SENSOR 3901-L0X into RX6

Setup the following

RNGLND_LANDING = 1
RNGFND1_TYPE =32
FLOW_TYPE = 7

SERIAL6_PROTOCAL = 32
SERIAL6_BAUD = 57

Just to learn something: What does a plane do with an optical flow sensor?
And the Mateksys website says 115200baud.

The Optical Flow Sensor along with the air speed will really enhance the autoland feature. The system will know to reduce throttle, flare, etc. Thats my knowledge in theory … haha, i don’t have it yet working
