Holybro Pixhawk 6X Flight Controller with NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (16GB) — Overview

Brand: Holybro. Model: Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard — a versatile baseboard for integrating Pixhawk autopilots and NVIDIA Jetson compute modules (Orin NX or Jetson Nano) with the open Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) specification. The device is designed for developers and professionals who aim to add machine learning capabilities, real-time image processing, object recognition, and intelligent route planning to their drones.

Key Features

The Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard combines a classic Pixhawk autopilot with high-performance NVIDIA Jetson neural computing. The baseboard provides a full set of ports for connecting cameras, SSDs, and wireless communication modules, and also features redundant power capabilities for enhanced reliability during flight. Includes support for Wi-Fi modules, SSD, and camera (according to the "with Wi-Fi & SSD & Camera" configuration).
