Holybro - Pixhawk Standard Baseboard (Plastic)
by Holybro

The Holybro Pixhawk Standard Baseboard (Plastic) is a high-reliability, full-featured carrier interface engineered to support modular autopilots adhering strictly to the open-source Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) standard, including the Pixhawk 5X and Pixhawk 6X. Housed in a lightweight plastic protective casing, this standalone carrier board acts as the central avionics hub for professional multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, and autonomous robotics platforms.

Equipped with dual-redundant power module inputs and high-speed communications interfaces, the Standard Baseboard breaks out up to 16 PWM outputs, 100Mbps Ethernet for companion computers, dual CAN bus ports, dual GPS ports, and four general-purpose telemetry serial ports. Utilizing industry-standard locking JST-GH connector ports, it ensures robust signal integrity and physical vibration resistance across demanding commercial and research flight applications.

Key Features

• Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) Standard: Fully compatible with Pixhawk 5X, Pixhawk 6X, Pixhawk 6C (module version), and modular FCs following PAB standards.

• Dual Redundant Power Inputs: Features main (Power1) and backup (Power2) power module ports with automatic power path switching and overvoltage protection.

• 100Mbps High-Speed Ethernet: Dedicated Ethernet port enables high-bandwidth communication with companion computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson).

• Comprehensive I/O Breakout: Provides 16 PWM servo outputs, dual CAN buses, 2x I2C ports, 1x SPI bus, and 4 general serial/telemetry ports (Telem1–3, UART4).

• Locking JST-GH Connector Ports: Industrial-grade JST-GH interfaces prevent accidental disconnections caused by high vibration and acceleration loads.

• Lightweight Plastic Housing: Durable plastic casing shields internal circuitry while maintaining a low weight footprint for drone integration.
