Description
The Pixhawk® 6C is the latest update to the successful family of Pixhawk® flight controllers, based on the Pixhawk® FMUv6C Open Standard and Connector Standard. It comes with PX4® pre-installed. Inside the Pixhawk® 6C, you can find an STMicroelectronics® based STM32H743, paired with sensor technology from Bosch® & InvenSense®, giving you flexibility and reliability for controlling any autonomous vehicle, suitable for both academic and commercial applications.
The Pixhawk® 6C's H7 microcontroller contains the Arm® Cortex®-M7 core running up to 480 MHz, with 2 MB flash memory and 1 MB RAM. Thanks to the increased processing power, developers can be more productive and efficient, enabling the implementation of complex algorithms and models. The FMUv6C open standard includes high-performance, low-noise IMUs on board, designed to be cost-effective while providing IMU redundancy. A vibration isolation system filters out high-frequency vibration and reduces noise to ensure accurate readings, allowing vehicles to achieve better overall flight performance. The Pixhawk® 6C is perfect for developers at corporate research labs, startups, academic institutions (research, professors, students), and commercial applications.
Key Design Features
- High-performance H7 processor with clock speed up to 480 MHz
- New cost-effective design with compact low-profile form factor
- Redundant inertial measurement units (IMU) from Bosch® and InvenSense®
- Newly designed integrated vibration isolation system to filter out high-frequency vibration and reduce noise for accurate readings
- IMUs are temperature-controlled by onboard heating resistors, ensuring optimum working temperature
- Hardware-switchable 3.3V or 5V PWM signal mode (requires opening the casing)
