Holybro Pixhawk Flight Controllers

Holybro builds the reference Pixhawk autopilots — the open-standard flight controllers behind most ArduPilot and PX4 aircraft, from research quads to agricultural and mapping drones. This page collects every Holybro Pixhawk in our Flight Controllers range: the Pixhawk 6C as the compact, cost-effective FMUv6C board, and the Pixhawk 6X with its redundant IMUs, isolated sensor board and modular carrier for aircraft that need more I/O or a companion computer. Holybro GPS, RTK and power modules are listed in their own categories.

Which Pixhawk

  • Pixhawk 6C: H743 processor, dual IMU + barometer, 14 PWM outputs, 3 telemetry ports, CAN — in a plastic or aluminium case. The right choice for most ArduPilot/PX4 quads, hexas, wings and rovers.
  • Pixhawk 6X Standard Set: triple IMU with vibration isolation, the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) so the FMU swaps between carrier boards, and the full connector set for GPS, telemetry, power and Ethernet-ready carriers.
  • RPi CM4 Baseboard + Pixhawk 6X + PM03D: the 6X on a carrier that hosts a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 for onboard vision, MAVLink routing and companion-computer work, with the PM03D power module.

What we stock

Holybro Pixhawk 6C (plastic body and aluminium body), the Pixhawk 6X Standard Set v2B and the RPi CM4 Baseboard set with Pixhawk 6X and PM03D. Complete the aircraft with Holybro's M10 Standard GPS or DroneCAN M9N GPS, the PM02 V3 power module and the H-RTK F9P rover and base units, all in our GPS and RTK categories.

Compatibility

Every Holybro Pixhawk ships with ArduPilot or PX4 pre-loaded and is supported in both; QGroundControl and Mission Planner configure them. Power comes through a Holybro power module (PM02/PM03) on the POWER port — 2–12S depending on the module — never straight from the battery. Standard JST-GH connectors mean Holybro GPS, telemetry radios and RTK modules plug in without adapters.

Frequently asked questions

Pixhawk 6C or 6X?
6C for most builds — same H743 processor, dual IMU, all the ports a quad, hexa or wing needs. 6X for redundancy (triple IMU, isolated sensors), swappable carrier boards and Ethernet/companion-computer setups.
Does the Pixhawk 6C run ArduPilot?
Yes — it ships with PX4 and flashes to ArduPilot from Mission Planner in a minute. Both firmwares have full support for the 6C and 6X.
What GPS works with a Holybro Pixhawk?
Holybro's own M10 Standard GPS and DroneCAN M9N GPS plug straight in, and the H-RTK F9P rover gives centimetre positioning with an F9P base station. Any u-blox GPS with a JST-GH lead also works.
