Meet the Holybro Pixhawk RPi CM4 Baseboard. It’s essentially a wedding ceremony between a Pixhawk 6X and a Raspberry Pi CM4, and we’re the ones making you pay for the venue. This board is for the pilots who want to run computer vision, AI, or just really complicated LED patterns while they crash into a tree in a rainy park in Slough. It's the ultimate companion computer interface for PX4 and ArduPilot enthusiasts who are tired of messy wiring and broken dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You Want It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause wiring a companion computer to a flight controller using jumper leads and prayer is a recipe for a mid-air fire. This baseboard integrates the Pixhawk Connector and Bus Standard, meaning you can swap flight controller modules faster than you change your socks. It talks to the Pi via TELEM2 or Ethernet, because why use one protocol when you can use two and get twice as confused? (That was a joke, please don't use both simultaneously and then email support).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBus Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pixhawk Bus Standard (It's like LEGO, but for people who actually read manuals).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlight Controller Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pixhawk 5X \u0026amp; 6X Modules (The expensive ones).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSBC Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raspberry Pi CM4 \u0026amp; CM5 (CM5 requires a proper power diet).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Connectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e TELEM2 \u0026amp; Ethernet (For that sweet, sweet high-speed telemetry).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM03D Power Module compatible (Keep the magic smoke inside).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended RPi Spec:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4GB RAM \/ 16GB eMMC or higher (Don't be a cheapskate).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Pixhawk RPi CM4 Baseboard (The main event)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Cable Set (The things you will inevitably lose under your desk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eNote:\u003c\/em\u003e FC Modules and RPi CM4 are sold separately, because we know you already have a drawer full of them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the Holybro Pixhawk 5X\/6X ecosystem.
