Holybro - Pixhawk 6C Mini with PM02 V3 Power Module
by Holybro

The Holybro Pixhawk 6C Mini Autopilot, bundled with the PM02 V3 12S Power Module, delivers enterprise-grade autonomy to space-constrained unmanned systems. Based on the FMUv6C standard, this compact flight controller features a high-speed 480MHz STM32H743 processor and an STM32F103 I/O co-processor. The integrated sensor matrix includes redundant, vibration-isolated IMUs (ICM-42688-P and BMI088) with internal heating resistors for stable operation in extreme environments. A built-in 14-channel PWM header streamlines wiring, eliminating the need for external breakout boards while supporting PX4 and ArduPilot ecosystems for various drone configurations.

The included PM02 V3 Power Module ensures robust power delivery, stepping down 2S to 12S LiPo inputs to a regulated 5.2V output. Pre-soldered with XT60 connectors and a filtering capacitor, it supplies precision real-time analog voltage and current monitoring up to 120A directly to the processor. This mini autopilot suite effectively shrinks the vehicle’s electrical footprint while maintaining professional-grade processing power, thermal regulation, and sensor redundancy for high-stakes sUAS manufacturing.

Hardware Integration Note: The Pixhawk 6C Mini includes a built-in PWM pin header layout to minimize wiring clutter. Because it uses an analog-signaling interface for power monitoring, the included PM02 V3 module is engineered exclusively for analog-compatible flight systems and is not directly swappable with digital-only telemetry ports.
