Manyèl Enstriksyon pou Kontwolè Vòl Otopilòt Holybro Pixhawk 6C a

Model: Pixhawk 6C

1. Entwodiksyon

The Holybro Pixhawk 6C is an advanced autopilot flight controller designed for autonomous vehicles, based on the Pixhawk FMUv6C Open Standard. It comes pre-installed with PX4 Autopilot software, offering flexibility and reliability for a wide range of academic and commercial applications. Featuring an STMicroelectronics STM32H743 microcontroller and high-quality sensors from Bosch and InvenSense, the Pixhawk 6C provides robust performance for complex algorithms and models.

Its H7 microcontroller boasts an Arm Cortex-M7 core running at up to 480 MHz, with 2MB flash memory and 1MB RAM, enabling efficient development. The FMUv6C standard incorporates high-performance, low-noise IMUs with redundancy, complemented by an integrated vibration isolation system to ensure accurate readings by filtering out high-frequency vibrations. Onboard heating resistors maintain optimal IMU operating temperatures. This flight controller is an ideal solution for developers in research labs, startups, and educational institutions.
