The Holybro Pixhawk 6X is the latest in the Pixhawk® family of flight controllers, offering cutting-edge performance and versatility for autonomous vehicles. Built on the Pixhawk® FMUv6X Open Standard and powered by the PX4 Autopilot® software, the Holybro Pixhawk 6X features a high-performance STMicroelectronics® STM32H753 microcontroller with an Arm® Cortex®-M7 core running at 480 MHz, ensuring efficient handling of complex algorithms. Its sensor suite, featuring Bosch® and InvenSense® technology, provides reliable performance, making it suitable for commercial, academic, and research applications.
Equipped with triple-redundant IMUs and dual-redundant barometers, the Holybro Pixhawk 6X ensures flight stability even in the event of sensor failure. Its advanced vibration isolation system filters out high-frequency vibrations for more accurate sensor readings. The modular design includes independent power control for each set of sensors, and the Ethernet interface allows high-speed communication with mission computers. Designed for a wide range of users, from corporate labs to hobbyists, this flight controller is perfect for any autonomous vehicle.
Key Features:
High-Performance Microcontroller:** The H7 microcontroller in the Pixhawk® 6X features an Arm® Cortex®-M7 core that runs up to 480 MHz, with 2 MB of flash memory and 1 MB of RAM. This updated processing power allows developers to be more productive and efficient, enabling complex algorithms and models.
FMUv6X Open Standard:
The open standard includes high-performance, low-noise IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) on board, designed for better stabilization. Triple redundant IMUs and dual redundant barometers are placed on separate buses. When the PX4 Autopilot detects a sensor failure, the system seamlessly switches to another to maintain flight control reliability. Each set of sensors is powered by an independent LDO (Low Dropout Regulator) with independent power control. A vibration isolation system filters out high-frequency vibrations and reduces noise, ensuring accurate readings and better overall flight performance. The external sensor bus (SPI5) has two chip select lines and ready data signals for additional SPI interface sensors and payloads. With an integrated Microchip Ethernet PHY, high-speed communication with mission computers via Ethernet is now possible.
Versatile Applications:
The Pixhawk® 6X is perfect for corporate research lab developers, startups, academics (researchers, professors, students), and commercial applications. Holybro offers the Pixhawk socket and mini-Pixhawk socket, each with different form factors and interfaces.
Design Highlights:
High-Performance STM32H753 Processor:** Clock speed up to 480 MHz Modular Flight Controller System:** Separate IMU, FMU, and base connected by a 100-pin Pixhawk® bus connector and a 50-pin Pixhawk® autopilot bus connector. Redundancy:** 3 IMU sensors and 2 barometer sensors on separate buses Triple Redundant Domains:** Fully isolated sensor domains with separate buses and independent power control New Vibration Isolation System:** Designed to filter high-frequency vibrations and reduce noise for accurate readings Ethernet Interface:** For high-speed integration with mission computers Temperature-Controlled IMUs:** Onboard heating resistors allow optimal operating temperature for the IMUs
