Hi,
I connected the LIDAR Lite 3 to the AERO.
I then ran the following commands from the Yocto terminal:
systemctl enable aero-optical-flow.service
systemctl status aero-optical-flow
and received the picture attached.
When looking in QGC on the widget QGroundControl>Widgets>MAVLink Inspector> ,
There is no: OPTICAL_FLOW_RAD>quality
What's wrong?
Thank you, Yoni.

Hi Yoni,
Thank you for your interest in the Intel Aero drone.
Could you tell me what is the output of this command?

Also, please make sure you are following this guide:

Hi Yoni,
Please make sure your sensor is properly connected by running ll40ls test i2c in the mavlink console and that the proper settings were setup in QGround Control.
EKF2_AID_MASK = 3 (use GPS + use optical flow)
EKF2_HGT_MODE = 2 (range sensor)

Hi Alexandra,
Where should I run this : ll40ls test i2c?
Where is the mavlink console? In the QGC?
Thank you.

Hi Yoni,
The mavlink console is located in QGroundControl (see picture attached).
Also, this link might be helpful:

Hi Alexandra,
I followed all the instructions on both websites:
https://pixhawk.org/peripherals/rangefinder# lidar-lite Rangefinder - Pixhawk Flight Controller Hardware Project
https://docs.px4.io/en/sensor/rangefinders.html https://docs.px4.io/en/sensor/rangefinders.html
In the Inspector and Analyze tools of QGC (see pics) the readings seam ok (may be a bit noisy though).
In the Console tool, there is a problem when typing the 'test' and 'start' commands (see pic). May be it's because the lidar is connected to the Telemetry connector (and not the Compass connector).
Any ideas?
Thank you, Yoni.

Hi Yoni,
We have seen progress on your issue on GitHub and it seems to be due to the floor's texture, which is not so good. They recommended the use of PX4flow.
You can find instructions here:
