ARKV6X

Using the ARKV6X on an ARK PAB Carrier? See the ARK Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Carrier Pinout.

The USA-built ARKV6X flight controller is based on the FMUV6X and Pixhawk Autopilot Bus open source standards.

With triple synced IMUs, data averaging, voting, and filtering is possible. The Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) form factor enables the ARKV6X to be used on any PAB-compatible carrier board, such as the ARK Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Carrier.

Pinout

For pinout of the ARKV6X board-to-board connectors see the DS-10 Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Standard.

All wiring connectors — GPS, TELEM, CAN, PWM, and the rest — are broken out by the carrier board, not the ARKV6X itself. For the ARK PAB Carrier, see:
