Product overview
RadioLink PIXHAWK is a hardware version 2.4.8 flight controller for aircraft and surface vehicle installations. Its 82.2 × 16.5 × 51.8 mm body incorporates an MS5611 barometer, an MPU6000 six-axis accelerometer and gyro, and FM25V02 FRAM rated at 256Kb. Waypoint capacity depends on the vehicle configuration: 718 for a multicopter or 724 for an airplane, car or boat. The sensor redesign uses IST8310 following discontinuation of L3GD20 and LSM303D. Main motor outputs and auxiliary outputs provide connections for vehicle control.
Integration interfaces include SBUS input, a Spektrum DSM receiver connection, GPS, CAN, serial, SPI and I2C, alongside radio and on-screen display telemetry. The controller also provides buzzer and safety switch connections, reset buttons, a Micro-USB port and SD card access. Parameter setup supports Radiolink Mission Planner, ArduPilot Mission Planner and QGC Mission Planner. Connecting an external I2C expansion board permits up to six SUI04 ultrasonic modules, enabling obstacle avoidance to the front, back, left, right and above, together with downward altitude hold.
The standard electronics package includes PIXHAWK, one power module, a buzzer, safety switch, 4G Micro SD card, mounting tape, connection cables, USB cable and manual. The power module accepts 2-12S (7.4-50.4V), with a 5.3±0.2V, 2A BEC output. Maximum detection current is 90A, with a single-ESC limit of 22.5A. Factory packing includes only one of two power module versions, selected for the installation. The complete package configuration combines PIXHAWK with an AT9S Pro transmitter, SE100 GPS and RadioLink Power Module.
