Pixhawk 6C Flight Controller – Reliable and Compact for Advanced Drone Systems

Description

The Pixhawk® 6C is the latest addition to the Pixhawk® flight controller lineup, built on the FMUv6C Open Standard and Connector Standard, with PX4 Autopilot® pre-installed. Powered by an STM32H743 microcontroller featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M7 core, it offers 480 MHz processing speed, 2MB flash memory, and 1MB RAM. High-performance, low-noise IMUs and a vibration isolation system ensure accurate readings and enhanced flight performance. Ideal for academic and commercial autonomous vehicle applications, it supports complex algorithm development with reliability and flexibility.

Key Design Points:

• High performance H7 Processor with clock speed up to 480 MHz
• New cost-effective design with low-profile form factor
• Redundant inertial measurement unit (IMU) from Bosch® & InvenSense®
• Newly designed integrated vibration isolation system to filter out high frequency vibration and reduce noise to ensure accurate readings
• IMUs are temperature-controlled by onboard heating resistors, allowing optimum working temperature of IMUs
