ARKV6X Flight Controller

Overview

The ARKV6X is a USA-built, NDAA-compliant flight controller module based on the FMUv6X and Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) open-source standards, with three synchronized IMUs for data averaging, voting and filtering.

Important before you order

The ARKV6X is an FMU module and has no connectors of its own. It requires a PAB-compatible carrier board to provide GPS, telemetry, CAN, PWM and USB. Order a carrier board alongside it.
