Holybro Pixhawk 6X Pro Autopilot Flight Controller

Key Design Point

• High-performance ADIS16470 Industrial IMU with high accelerometer dynamic range (±40 g), perfect for accurate motion sensing in demanding UAV applications
• All New advanced durable vibration isolation material with resonance frequency in the higher spectrum, ideal for industrial and commercial drone applications
• Triple redundant IMU & double redundant barometer on separate buses
• High performance STM32H753 Processor
• Modular flight controller: separated IMU, FMU, and Base system
• Safety-driven design incorporates sensors from different manufacturers and model lineups
• Independent LDO powers every sensor with independent power control.
• Ethernet interface for high-speed mission computer integration. Transformerless can be achieved using 50 Ohm termination resistors at the target device (AN2190 50 Ohm termination).
• Temperature-controlled IMU board, allowing optimum working temperature of IMUs
• Hardware switchable 3.3V or 5V signal mode (requires base board modification)

Note: 

• FC Module + a baseboard is required for this product to function.  A FC Module or a Baseboard by itself will not function.

Details

All new Vibration Isolation Design

This new vibration isolation design uses a custom-formulated durabile silicone-based isolation material in place of the traditional foam design. Backed by extensive R&D and testing , it offers optimal IMU damping characteristics with resonance frequency in the higher spectrum, perfect for industrial and commercial drone

Internal Architecture: Counterweight, High Accel Range ADIS16470 IMU (±40 g), Redundant Industrial IMU Board, Pixhawk Autopilot Bus, New Vibration Isolation, FMU Board.

Pixhawk Autopilot Bus connects Mini, Standard, Raspberry Pi CM4, Jetson Baseboards, and custom baseboards.

IMU Board features temperature compensation resistors, redundant industrial-grade IMU, sensors from various manufacturers, and is enclosed in isolation material.

Sensor Redundancy Architecture includes 3x IMU, 2x Barometer, and 1x Magnetometer, featuring components like STM32 H7 MCU, TDK ICs, Bosch BMP388, and Analog Devices ADIS16470.

FMU Board features Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Connector Standard, STM H753 32-Bit Processor up to 480 MHz, Inversense ICM45686 IMU with BalancedGyro Technology, and NXP EdgeLock SE050 Secure Element.
