Pixhawk 4 Combo
Update July, 16th 2018: The ArduPilot Stack from Firmware Version 3.6.0 with the FMUv5-based Hardware (e.g. Pixhawk 4) be compatible. Our test report with Video can be found in our Blog.
The Pixhawk 4 is the latest member of the successful family of the Pixhawk flight controllers and is based on the strongest expansion stage of the FMU (FMUv5). The Pixhawk 4 is optimized for the use of the full Droncode stack and is pre-loaded with PX4 V1.7 Firmware that shipped. Thus, particularly good for drone code - entry-level candidates. The Pixhawk 4 is a development of the drone code®-member Holybro® and the PX4®Team.
- New, smaller form-factor
- More computing power and twice as much RAM as the previous versions
- More modern Sensors and higher temperature stability
- Built-In Vibration Decoupling
- User-friendly: PX4 (v1 pre-installed.7)
- Additional interfaces for easier Integration and better Development opportunities
Overview
The Pixhawk 4 has the most advanced processor technology from ST Microelectronics®, sensor technology from Bosch®, InvenSense® and a NuttX real-time operating system and offers incredible performance, flexibility and reliability for controlling any Autonomous vehicle operated genus.
The micro-controller of the Pixwhawk 4 now has a 2 MB Flash memory and 512 KB RAM. With the increased energy and memory resources are developers more productive and efficient with your development work. On the auto-pilot can use more sophisticated Algorithms and models to be implemented.
High-performance, low-noise IMUs on Board are designed for stabilization applications. Data ready signals from all Sensors are to separate interrupt and Timer capture pins on the auto-pilot guided a precise time-stamping of sensor data. Newly designed vibration-insulation allow for more accurate readings and allow vehicles, overall, a better driving/flight services to achieve.
The two external SPI buses and six corresponding Chip-Select lines allow you to Add additional Sensors and SPI of paired user data. There are a total of four I2C buses, two for external use and two serial interfaces for GPS / compass modules.
The Autopilot Development Kit from Pixhawk 4 is ideal for developers in research labs, Startups, and scientists (research, professors, students).
