About ARK Pi6X
ARK Pi6X combines a Pixhawk-based flight controller, a Raspberry Pi Compute Module carrier and a battery power module on one board for compact drones and robots. Its autopilot section runs PX4, with ArduPilot available to flash, and includes two ICM-42688-P inertial sensors, a magnetometer, barometer and voltage/current monitoring. The board exposes eight PWM outputs, CAN, telemetry and GPS connections.
Companion computing requires a CM4 or CM5. The Pi interfaces include Ethernet, USB, HDMI and camera connections: CM4 supports two MIPI CSI links, while CM5 supports one. The base board weighs 41 g without the Pi, Pi storage or ESC. ARK also sells a 53 g CM4 Lite bundle with 4 GB RAM, Wi-Fi and a 128 GB card running ARK UI; the ESC remains separate.
