ARKV6X

Previous3D ModelsNextPX4 Instructions

Last updated 17 days ago

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.
