Introducing the Pixhawk® 6C, the latest addition to the highly successful family of Pixhawk® flight controllers. This cutting-edge technology is based on the Pixhawk® FMUv6C Open Standard and Connector Standard, and comes with the PX4 Autopilot® pre-installed, making it the perfect solution for controlling any autonomous vehicle, be it for academic or commercial applications.

The Pixhawk® 6C boasts a high-performance H7 microcontroller, manufactured by STMicroelectronics® and paired with sensor technology from Bosch® & InvenSense®. The Arm® Cortex®-M7 core runs at a clock speed of up to 480 MHz, with 2MB flash memory and 1MB RAM. This updated processing power makes the Pixhawk® 6C a developers' dream, allowing for even more complex algorithms and models.

The FMUv6C open standard includes high-performance, low-noise IMUs on board, designed with cost-effectiveness in mind. The IMUs are temperature-controlled by onboard heating resistors, ensuring the optimum working temperature for accurate readings. The Pixhawk® 6C also features a newly designed integrated vibration isolation system, filtering out high-frequency vibrations and reducing noise to ensure the most accurate readings possible.

The low-profile form factor of the Pixhawk® 6C makes it perfect for use in a variety of applications, while the redundant IMUs from Bosch® & InvenSense® provide peace of mind, ensuring reliable performance at all times. This flight controller is the perfect choice for developers at corporate research labs, startups, academics (research, professors, students), and commercial applications.

We offer the Pixhawk® 6C in two different case options. The lower-cost plastic case option is a great choice for those looking for a cost-effective solution. For those looking for a more premium experience, we also offer a case with a sleek aluminum CNC finish. Please contact us for more information about the CNC case, MOQ applies. Choose the option that best fits your needs and start experiencing the power and performance of the Pixhawk® 6C today!
