ARKV6S Flight Controller

About

About ARKV6S Flight Controller

ARKV6S uses the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus form factor to separate the flight-control module from its carrier board. Its STM32H743 processor is paired with an industrial IIM-42653 IMU, BMP390 barometer and IIS2MDC magnetometer, with a one-watt heater for the sensor package.

The board ships with PX4 and can be reflashed for ArduPilot. It carries 2 MB of flash, 1 MB of RAM, FRAM, a microSD slot and status indicators in a 36 × 29 × 5 mm, 5 g module. Installation requires a PAB-compatible carrier, allowing the same controller to be used across different vehicle interface boards.
