Hi, Can you monitor 2 batteries with this FC? I see there is only one power to plug the module but can you use other port for the second battery? Thank you
Looking forward to this series of videos, a member at the club I fly at has had a lot of success with Arducopter on a couple of Trex500's and I would like a similar setup.
I decided to resurrect my old tricopter thinking I could use a newer flight controller than the KK2 boards I used before but don't seem to have any luck finding support from Betaflight or INAV for a tricopter. Ardupilot seems overkill but I believe it supports tricopters. I do have an old KK2 board that seems to work. Is that my only option? I don"t think they make KK2 boards anymore either?
Hi there I am just dipping my toes into this. I am looking at getting this module to use on a bait boat. However I am unsure how to go about it. I want it to have a return to home fail safe in the event it loses signal from its receiver So I think I need mini pix module,a gps and compass? and a telemetry radio radio link I think I am a little unsure on what receiver I should get aswell. I want the best type I can get that will be ok on the sea dsmx? Or elrs however I need to be able to put that into an antenna if possible. Would you have any suggestions to help get me on my way. Many thanks for your informative videos.
Hi , could you show us how to connect an external light neopix to the FC pixhawk 6c , I’ve read the instructions, I’ve followed the settings and set up. But I just cannot get it to work .. I can’t find anyone that can help .. thanking you Kevin
I would also like to try this on a helicopter but the Pixhawk is a bit too expensive. The Flywing H1 FC with GPS module included is smaller, cheaper and already configured for helicopters. However, I'm not sure if it can be flashed with Arducopter or Rotorflight.
Hello Lee, I started working at a agricultural drone company here in South Texas this year. We use pixhawk on our drones. It got me interested to try the pixhawk 6c mini on my 600 size helicopters. Are you still planning on doing a series for this? Thanks
Maybe, but making a universally useful Arducopter heli series is almost impossible. I may make videos on specific stuff like swash setup, mptor/govenor setup and tail setup... stay tuned!
Arducopter support isn't good enough for a build/how-to series sadly. I'm not happy to create content for something as dangerous as a heli unless the documents and devs are supportive of the material.. happy flying!
our ! If you can record a video teaching how to configure this mini pixhawk 6 in a helicopter I will definitely watch it! I wanted to put a mini pixhawk 6 on my 450 helicopter. but I don't know anything about pixhawk. please ! post here on TH-cam!! I beg you.
there is!!! OK. thank you very much!!!! and I don't know anything about this world of controllers I will watch more of your videos. Who knows, maybe one day I'll put one of these on my helicopter. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom.
Hi Lee. Do you think controllers like that still make sense, specially cost-wise, considering companies like SpeeBee and Matek already have several good ones that are compatible with Arduplane?
Pixhawk have a number of advantages over the purely hobby grade FC'sl. Things like Omnibus and Matek hardware are great ways to use Ardupilot for a lot less money but look at the decent professional rigs and you'll see nothing but Pixhawk hardware. There is a reason for that... I talk about it in my flight controller comparison videos and Pixhawk.Autopilot builds. Happy flying!
Really great looking little board, Lee! 😃
Looking forward to the build!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thank you
That's a great idea!
Thank you uncle
Thank you nephew
Would be perfect for my build.
I like it , same form factor as pixhawk4 mini that i use a lot.

Executive Decision
Keep going

Have you tried all of the troubleshooting tips on ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-serial-led-neopixel.html ?
I would also like to try this on a helicopter but the Pixhawk is a bit too expensive. The Flywing H1 FC with GPS module included is smaller, cheaper and already configured for helicopters. However, I'm not sure if it can be flashed with Arducopter or Rotorflight.
Stay tuned, I'm hoping for a series on Rotorflight... :D
I pulled the trigger and bought the Matek G474-HELI and GPS Module SAM-M10Q. Wish me luck! ;)

@@Painless360 That would be great, looking forward to it.👍
If I wanted to add a camera for live guidance, what one would you recommend for either this or the pixhawk 6c?
Did you manage to set this up on the OMP M4? I have not been able to find any more reference to it
Nope. Arducopter docs and expertise are not at the level I'm comfortable with to make a video on... Best of luck
nice. i think they use a pixhawk in the joby evtol.
Pixhawk and Ardupilot are very common choices for professional VTOLs. See my various builds. Happy flying!
Hello can I connect the telemetry rfd 900 to pixhawk 6c mini ? Thank you
I've not tried but I'd expect so. You may have to play with connectors though... Best of luck!
Hello!
The Pixhawk 6C Mini servo rail voltage should be limited to 5 volts, does it also restart like the old pixhawk if it gets more than 5 volts?
I've only used 5v on it
.. Best of luck
@@Painless360 why do they give a 0-30 volt load capacity?
If you're talking about the voltage pins for the servo outputs, it's to support HV kit..
What happened? Where did it go?

@@Painless360 thanks for the honest reply. I tried to cut costs by buying the mini but I ended up buying the 6c.
Thanks for the X500 V2 build. Couldn’t have done it without you 😊
Great Video! Do you know how to get the Pixhawk6C into DFU mode?
It should happen automatically using something like Mission Planner. I wouldn't recommend using any else to flash it. Best of luck.
@@Painless360 😁Thanks for your reply.

Still working on that as AP4.4 changed a lot and the docs are catching up..
Is there a way to configure it in the mission planner?
ardupilot.org/copter/docs/traditional-helicopters.html is almost there in terms of the process..
there is!!! OK. thank you very much!!!! and I don't know anything about this world of controllers
I will watch more of your videos. Who knows, maybe one day I'll put one of these on my helicopter. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom.
please one more question: is the box plastic or aluminum
