Optical Flow Sensor info

To Matt or anyone from SRT. I noticed in a log file posted, Optical Flow data is being tested with an obvious fail as it doesn’t find any. I also saw ModeFlowHold is an option in TMODE_ACTION.

If I connect a OFS board and trigger the FlowModeHold from the camera button will it work? I would guess it’s not that simple. Would like to know more including a recommended sensor board if it can work.

Thank you.

I’ve read through this and understand a little more. Not sure if the SV board is capable of all of this but it would be cool to try. If I can just figure out what small efficient OFS board would work. It would have to be smaller\lighter than the one shown.
