Holybro - Pix32 V6 Standard Baseboard
by Holybro

The Holybro Pix32 V6 Standard Baseboard (SKU: 18082) is a full-featured carrier board engineered to interface with the Holybro Pix32 v6 flight controller module and other autopilots adhering to the Pix32 v6 Bus Standard. Utilizing a 100-pin high-density mezzanine interface, this standard carrier breaks out the complete I/O capabilities of the Pix32 v6 processor core into secure, drone-standard locking JST-GH sockets and 2.54mm (0.1") triple-row pin headers.

Designed for commercial multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOL platforms, and unmanned ground vehicles, the standard baseboard features a 16-channel PWM servo rail (8 Main IO + 8 FMU Aux), dual analog power monitoring ports for battery redundancy, dual independent CAN bus ports, dual GPS ports with integrated safety switch and buzzer lines, and three dedicated telemetry serial interfaces with hardware flow control.

Key Features

• 100-Pin Mezzanine Core Interface: Houses the Pix32 v6 (and backward-compatible Pix32 v5) autopilot module via a 100-pin high-density connector.

• 16-Channel PWM Servo Bank: Standard 3-pin 2.54mm header bank provides 8 Main IO outputs and 8 FMU Aux outputs with an isolated servo rail accepting 0V to 36V DC.

• Dual Redundant Power Inputs: Dual 6-pin JST-GH power ports support dual analog power modules (such as the PM02 V3 or PM07) with independent voltage and current telemetry failover.

• Dual CAN Bus Integration: Independent CAN 1 and CAN 2 ports enable simultaneous connection to DroneCAN peripherals, smart batteries, and digital ESCs.

• Dual GPS & Navigation Support: Primary GPS1 port integrates full serial, I2C, safety switch, safety LED, and buzzer connections into a single 10-pin JST-GH socket, complemented by a secondary 6-pin GPS2 port.

• Triple Serial Telemetry Ports: Features Telem 1 (with hardware RTS/CTS flow control and dedicated 1.5A current limiting), Telem 2 (with flow control), and Telem 3 for radio modems, companion computers, and OSD modules.

• Dedicated RC & Spektrum Ports: Includes a dedicated 3-pin JST-ZH (1.5mm) DSM receiver port alongside standard 3-pin RC-IN (SBUS/PPM) and RSSI input/SBUS output headers.
