PX4FLOW – Smart Camera

QUICK START – HARDWARE VERSION 1.3

Features

Description
PX4Flow is an optical flow smart camera. It has a native
resolution of 752×480 pixels and calculates optical flow
on a 4x binned and cropped area at 250 Hz (bright,
outdoors), giving it a very high light sensitivy.
Unlike many mouse sensors, it also works indoors and
in low outdoor light conditions without the need for an
illumination LED at 120 Hz (dark, indoors). It can be
freely reprogrammed to do any other basic, efficient lowlevel computer vision task.

168 MHz Cortex M4F CPU (128 + 64 KB RAM)
752x480 MT9V034 image sensor
●L3GD20 3D Gyro
●16mm M12 lens (IR block filter)
●Size 45.5 mm X 35 mm
●Power consumption 115mA / 5V
