Holybro - Pixhawk Standard Baseboard V2A
by Holybro

The Holybro Pixhawk Standard Baseboard V2A is a rugged, commercial-grade carrier interface engineered to support next-generation modular autopilots like the Pixhawk 6X and Pixhawk 5X. Adhering strictly to the Pixhawk Bus Standard, this updated V2 baseboard offers a significantly reduced footprint compared to its V1 predecessor, allowing tactical sUAS builders and autonomous vehicle engineers to integrate advanced, multi-redundant flight control systems into restrictive airframe environments. The V2A variant optimizes space with a sleek, narrow profile and a specialized header-pin orientation designed to streamline complex wiring and maximize structural connector security during high-G maneuvers.

Tailored for the industrial drone sector, military sUAS contractors, and university aerospace engineering labs, the V2A standard baseboard acts as a robust central nervous system for unmanned vehicles. It breaks out critical high-speed processing lines, featuring dual power inputs for automatic backup power redundancy, multiple independent CAN buses, a specialized high-speed 100Mbps Ethernet port for companion computer pairing, and up to 16 PWM servo outputs. Its comprehensive electrical shielding and isolated power rails ensure clean sensor telemetry and steady communication paths, establishing it as a foundational hardware asset for mission-critical operations.
