Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard: The Ultimate Multitasker
Step right up for the next frontier in drone tech: the Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard Combo, featuring the Pixhawk 6X Pro and NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB. This formidable duo merges advanced flight control with AI computing, so your UAV can do everything from precision mapping to borderline-sci-fi autonomy—no pilot’s license required (yet).
Why You’ll Love It
- AI + Flight Controller Integration: The baseboard is your sky-high matchmaker, linking the Orin NX module’s brainy brawn to the Pixhawk 6X Pro autopilot. Expect stable flights and near-telepathic AI communication.
- Port Buffet: Two Gigabit Ethernet ports for network-hungry tasks, dual MIPI CSI camera inputs to feed your airborne paparazzi needs, and USB 3.0/2.0 ports for all your must-have accessories.
- Performance That’s on Fire (but not literally): An integrated UBEC gracefully steps down voltages from 7V-24V to 5.5V. For those who believe in cosmic redundancy, an external UBEC option stands by, saving your day if power woes strike.
- Connectivity Overload: Not just telemetry ports galore, but also two CAN ports and a hearty 16 PWM outputs—go wild hooking up every servo and sensor in your arsenal.
- Compact Yet Mighty: At 126×80×38mm and around 203.2g, this is no behemoth. It’s small enough to slip into your airframe without cramping your style (or flight time).
Features and Connectivity – Not Your Average Board
Ports Galore:
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports: These ports aren’t just fast; they’re furious, ensuring seamless communication between the Jetson module and the autopilot.
- MIPI CSI Dual Camera Inputs: Capture every detail with two 4-lane MIPI CSI camera inputs, making this a peeping Tom’s dream for high-resolution imaging.
- Multiple USB Ports: With two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, connect a myriad of devices without breaking a sweat. High-speed data transfer? Yes, please!
- Expansive PCI Express Slots: Featuring two Key M 2242 for NVMe SSD and Key E 2230 for WiFi/BT modules, because why settle for less?
High-Powered, High-Performance:
- Integrated and External UBEC Options: This baseboard comes with an integrated UBEC, converting a wide input voltage (7V-24V) down to a cozy 5.5V for the Jetson. Fear not power failures; the option for an external UBEC brings redundancy and peace of mind.
- Separate Power Circuits: Holybro ensures your flight doesn’t end in a fiery spectacle by separating the power circuits from the autopilot.
Dimensions & Weight – Compact Powerhouse:
- Size Matters: At 126x80x38mm, it’s compact enough to fit into your DIY drone kit without fuss.
- Hefty Features, Lightweight Frame: Weighing in at 203.2g (with all the bells and whistles attached), it’s light enough to soar but heavy on features.
Powering Through – No Outlet? No Problem!
- Flexible Power Requirements: Depending on your usage and peripherals, a minimum of 8V/3A keeps things running smoothly.
Expandability and Upgrades – Grow Your System:
- Telemetry and CAN Ports: With multiple telemetry ports and two CAN ports, expand and customize your setup for a variety of sensors and accessories.
- PWM Outputs Galore: With 16 PWM outputs, this baseboard is practically begging to control every servo in sight.
