The Pixhawk® 6C is the latest update to the successful family of Pixhawk® flight controllers, based on the open standard and Pixhawk® FMUv6C connector standard. It comes with PX4 Autopilot® pre-installed. Inside the Pixhawk® 6C, you can find an STMicroelectronics®-based STM32H743, along with sensor technology from Bosch® and InvenSense®, giving you the flexibility and reliability to control any autonomous vehicle, suitable for both academic and commercial applications.

The Pixhawk® 6C's H7 microcontroller contains the Arm® Cortex®-M7 core running at up to 480 MHz, has 2 MB of flash memory and 1 MB of RAM. Thanks to the updated processing power, developers can be more productive and efficient with their development work, enabling complex algorithms and models. The open FMUv6C standard includes high performance, low noise IMUs designed to be cost effective while having IMU redundancy. A vibration isolation system to filter out high-frequency vibrations and reduce noise to ensure accurate readings, allowing vehicles to achieve better overall flight performance.

The Pixhawk® 6C is perfect for corporate research lab developers, startups, academics (research, professors, students), and commercial applications.
