Holybro Pixhawk 6C Flight Controller (Plastic Case)

Pixhawk® 6C — the latest update to the renowned Pixhawk® series of flight controllers, developed by Holybro for high-performance and reliable autonomous platforms. This controller is based on the STM32H743 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics® and combines advanced sensor solutions from Bosch® and InvenSense®, ensuring flexibility and precision in controlling drones, quadcopters, and other autonomous vehicles.

The Pixhawk 6C features a high-performance STM32H743 FMU processor (32-bit, Arm® Cortex®-M7, up to 480 MHz, 2 MB flash memory, 1 MB SRAM). For I/O, an STM32F103 IO processor is used (32-bit, Arm® Cortex®-M3, 72 MHz, 64 KB SRAM). Thanks to powerful hardware, developers can implement complex autonomy and sensor processing algorithms.

Key Advantages

• High-performance STM32H743 processor with ample memory for complex computations.
• Cost-effective low-profile design in a plastic case.
• Integrated vibration isolation system for improved IMU data quality.
• Heated IMUs for stable operation across a wide temperature range.

Sensor and Computing Module Description

The Pixhawk 6C includes high-efficiency IMUs with low noise and implemented IMU redundancy, enhancing measurement reliability. Available sensors: ICM-42688-P, BMI055, IST8310, MS5611. The vibration isolation system helps filter high-frequency oscillations, and IMU heating ensures optimal performance at low temperatures.
