Overview
About Holybro Pixhawk 6C + PM02 Power Module.
The Holybro Pixhawk 6C is a modern FMUv6C-standard autopilot built around a 480 MHz STM32H743 Cortex-M7 main processor with an STM32F103 I/O co-processor, delivering substantially more processing power and memory than older FMUv2 boards. Bundled here with the PM02 power module, it forms a clean, ready-to-integrate core for professional and advanced UAV, rover and boat projects running PX4 or ArduPilot.
Reliability comes from dual vibration-isolated IMUs - an ICM-42688-P and a BMI088 - backed by an IST8310 magnetometer and an MS5611 barometer, with internal heating to keep the sensors stable across temperature swings. The included PM02 (V3) power module steps a wide 2S-12S LiPo input down to a regulated 5.2V and provides precise analogue voltage and current monitoring (rated 60A, up to 120A peak) through pre-soldered XT60 leads, giving accurate battery telemetry.
It suits integrators, commercial operators and serious researchers who need a dependable, well-documented autopilot with strong firmware support and ample headroom for the latest features. Compact at 84.8 x 44 x 12.4 mm, it ships in plastic or aluminium-cased options and uses standardised Pixhawk connectors for fast, repeatable airframe integration.

Buying guide
How to choose.
Choose the Pixhawk 6C + PM02 when you want a modern, reliable autopilot core for serious UAV, rover or boat builds. The H7 processor and dual heated IMUs give it real advantages over FMUv2 boards in reliability and firmware longevity, and the bundled PM02 adds accurate voltage/current telemetry essential for flight-time estimation and failsafes.
The PM02 supports a wide 2S-12S input, so confirm your battery falls within that range; for very high cell counts consider the PM06-14S or PM07 instead. This bundle does not include a GPS, so if you need autonomous waypoint navigation, add an M9N/M10-class GPS - or choose the full set that ships with one.
Decide between plastic and aluminium-cased versions based on weight versus durability, and pick the connector pinout that matches your airframe. For Indian integrators, the 6C is a strong mid-tier autopilot that balances cost with modern processing; step up to a Pixhawk 6X for triple-redundant IMUs on mission-critical commercial platforms.
FAQ
Common questions.
What does the Pixhawk 6C + PM02 bundle include?
This bundle pairs the Pixhawk 6C flight controller with Holybro's PM02 power module. The PM02 ships with pre-soldered XT60 connectors and provides regulated 5.2V power plus analogue voltage and current sensing. Note that a GPS module is not included in this particular package.
What battery voltages does the PM02 support?
The PM02 (V3) accepts a wide 2S to 12S LiPo input and outputs a regulated 5.2V. It is rated for 60A continuous with peaks up to 120A, and supplies precise analogue voltage and current data to the autopilot for accurate battery telemetry and failsafe behaviour.
How is the 6C different from older Pixhawk 2.4.8 boards?
The 6C uses a far more powerful 480 MHz STM32H743 H7 processor with 2 MB flash and dual vibration-isolated, heated IMUs, versus the single-IMU FMUv2 design of the 2.4.8. This brings better reliability, sensor stability and long-term support for the latest PX4/ArduPilot features.
Does this package include a GPS module?
No. The Pixhawk 6C + PM02 bundle includes the flight controller and power module only. For autonomous flight you will need to add a GPS/compass such as the Holybro M9N or M10, or choose the full set variant that already includes an M9N GPS.
Is it compatible with both PX4 and ArduPilot?
Yes. The Pixhawk 6C follows the FMUv6C open standard and is fully supported by both PX4 and ArduPilot. You configure it with QGroundControl or Mission Planner and select the appropriate firmware for multirotors, fixed-wing, VTOL or rovers.
Should I get the plastic or aluminium case version?
The plastic-cased 6C is lighter (around 34.6 g) for weight-sensitive builds, while the aluminium case (around 59.3 g) adds durability and heat handling for demanding or commercial use. Both are electrically identical; choose based on your airframe's weight budget and operating environment.
