Description

dbFlow is an integrated camera board that operates as an optical flow detection. This board can be paired with other controller boards to help the system detect its own displacement. Especially this dbFlow board designed to be fully compatible with the "db Flight Controller (dbFC)" to help the drone hold its position. High accuracy along with fast sampling rate speed helps dbFlow completely outperform. Low cost is also one of the dominance of the dbFlow board, highly appropriate for all developers who are developing drones such as delivery drones, camera drones or even agricultural drones, …

dbFlow is designed on the basis of the ESP32-S3 chip, a powerful 2-core MCU from Espressif combined with the OV2640 camera, the latest optical flow algorithm with optimizations from the db team, giving dbF an excellent processing ability with accurate results and high-speed. In addition, the board is also accommodated with the VL53L1x sensor for highly accurate laser distance measurement to help expand the application capabilities of the board.
