ARKV6S

The USA-built ARKV6S flight controller is a low-cost, single-IMU variant of the ARKV6X, based on the FMUV6X and Pixhawk Autopilot Bus open source standards.

The Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) form factor enables the ARKV6S to be used on any PAB-compatible carrier board, such as the ARK Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Carrier.
