Overview of Holybro Pixhawk 6X pro

The Holybro Pixhawk 6X Pro is a state of the art flight controller designed for demanding UAV applications, featuring a high-performance ADIS16470 Industrial IMU. This IMU offers a high accelerometer dynamic range of ±40 g, ensuring accurate motion sensing even in the most challenging environments. The flight controller incorporates a new advanced durable vibration isolation material, which operates at a resonance frequency in the higher spectrum, making it ideal for industrial and commercial drone applications.

One of the standout features of the Pixhawk 6X Pro is its triple redundant IMU and double redundant barometer setup, with sensors on separate buses to enhance reliability and safety. The high-performance STM32H753 processor powers the system, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. Its modular design separates the IMU, FMU, and base system, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance.

Safety is a priority in the design of the Pixhawk 6X Pro. It incorporates sensors from different manufacturers and model lineups to reduce the risk of common-mode failures. Each sensor is powered by an independent LDO with individual power control, further enhancing the system’s robustness. The inclusion of an Ethernet interface facilitates high-speed integration with mission computers, making it suitable for advanced applications requiring fast data transfer.

Additionally, the IMU board is temperature-controlled, ensuring the IMUs operate at their optimal working temperature. This feature is crucial for maintaining performance and accuracy across varying environmental conditions. Overall, the Pixhawk 6X Pro is a high-performance, reliable, and flexible solution for sophisticated UAV operations, meeting the demands of both industrial and commercial applications.

All new Vibration Isolation Design

This new vibration isolation design uses a custom-formulated durabile silicone-based isolation material in place of the traditional foam design. Backed by extensive R&D and testing, it offers optimal IMU damping characteristics with resonance frequency in the higher spectrum, perfect for industrial and commercial drone.
