CUAV Pixhawk V6X Flight Controller + NEO 3 GPS

Pixhawk V6X is the latest update to the successful family of Pixhawk flight controllers designed and made in collaboration with CUAV® and the PX4 team.

Pixhawk V6X brings you the ultimate in performance, stability and reliability in all aspects.

Arm Cortex-M7 processor (STM32H753) with Floating Point Unit (FPU), 480MHz high-speed operations and 2MB flash. Developers can be more productive and efficient, allowing for more complex algorithms and models.

High-performance on-board, low-noise IMU and automotive-grade magnetic compass based on FMUv6X open standard. It aims to achieve better stability and anti-interference ability.

Triple redundant IMU & double redundant barometer on separate buses. When the PX4 Autopilot detects a sensor failure, the system seamlessly switches to another to maintain flight control reliability.

An independent LDO powers every sensor set with independent power control. A vibration isolation System to filter out high-frequency vibration and reduce noise to ensure accurate readings, allowing vehicles to reach better overall flight performances.

External sensor bus (SPI5) has two chip select lines and data-ready signals for additional sensors and payload with SPI-interface.

Integrated Microchip Ethernet PHY for high-speed communication over Ethernet with onboard devices such as mission computers.

Newly designed vibration isolation system to filter out high frequency vibration and reduce noise to ensure accurate readings.

IMUs are temperature-controlled by onboard heating resistors, allowing optimum working temperature of IMUs

Modular flight controller: separated IMU, FMU, and Base system connected by a 100-pin & a 50-pin Pixhawk​ Autopilot Bus connector.

The Pixhawk V6X is ideal for corporate research labs, academic research and commercial applications.

The NEO 3 GPS is manufactured by CUAV. It integrates Ublox M9N, IST8310, three-color LED lights and safety switches, and is compatible with CUAV and Pixhawk standard controllers.
