Pixhawk top connectors¶

Pixhawk PWM connectors for servos and ESCs and PPM-SUM in and SBUS out¶

Pixhawk connector diagram¶

For all connectors pin 1 is on the right in the above image

Serial 1 (Telem 1) and Serial 2 (Telem 2) Pins: 6 = GND, 5 =RTS, 4 = CTS, 3 = RX, 2 = TX, 1 = 5V.

Pixhawk connector pin assignments¶

TELEM1, TELEM2 ports¶

GPS port¶

SERIAL 4/5 port - due to space constraints two ports are on one connector.¶

ADC 6.6V¶

ADC 3.3V¶

I2C¶

CAN¶

SPI¶

POWER¶

SWITCH¶

Console Port¶

The system's serial console runs on the port labeled SERIAL4/5. Thepinout is standard serial pinout, to connect to a standard FTDI cable(3.3V, but it's 5V tolerant).

Spektrum/DSM Port¶

The Spektrum/DSM port is for connecting Spektrum DSM-2/DSMX receivermodules.

Connecting and disconnecting DF13 connectors¶

Pixhawk analog input pins¶

This section lists the analog pins available on the Pixhawk. These arevirtual pins, defined in the firmware.

Virtual Pin 2 and Power connector Pin 4: powermanagement connector voltage pin, accepts up to 3.3V, usually attachedto a power module with 10.1:1 scaling

Virtual Pin 3 and Power connector Pin 3: power management connectorcurrent pin, accepts up to 3.3V, usually attached to a power modulewith 17:1 scaling

Virtual Pin 4 and (No connector Pin): VCC 5V rail sensing. Thisvirtual pin reads the voltage on the 5V supply rail. It is used toprovide the HWSTATUS.Vcc reading that ground stations use to display 5Vstatus

Virtual Pin 13 and ADC 3.3V connector Pin 4: This takes a max of3.3V. May be used for sonar or other analog sensors.

Virtual Pin 14 and ADC 3.3V connector Pin 2: This takes a max of3.3V. May be used for second sonar or other analog sensor.

Virtual Pin 15 and ADC 6.6V connector Pin 2: analog airspeed sensorport. This has 2:1 scaling builtin, so can take up to 6.6v analoginputs. Usually used for analog airspeed, but may be used for analogsonar or other analog sensors.

Virtual Pin 102: Servo power rail voltage. This is an internalmeasurement of the servo rail voltage made by the IO board within thePixhawk. It has 3:1 scaling, allowing it to measure up to 9.9V.

Virtual Pin 103: RSSI (Received Signal Strength Input) input pinvoltage (SBus connector output pin). This is the voltage measured by theRSSI input pin on the SBUS-out connector (the bottom pin of the 2nd lastservo connector on the 14 connector servo rail).

This can alternatively serve as SBus out by setting theBRD_SBUS_OUT parameter ( Copter,Plane, Rover).

Pixhawk digital outputs and inputs (Virtual Pins 50-55)¶

The Pixhawk has no dedicated digital output or input pins on its DF13connectors, but you can assign up to 6 of the 'AUX SERVO' connectors tobe digital outputs/inputs. These are the first 6 of the 14 three-pinservo connectors on the end of the board. They are marked as AUX servopins 1 - 6 on the silkscreen as seen above.

To set the number of these pins that are available as digitalinputs/outputs, set the BRD_PWM_COUNT parameter. On Pixhawk thisdefaults to 4, which means the first 4 AUX connectors are for servos(PWM) and the last 2 are for digital inputs/outputs. If you setBRD_PWM_COUNT to 0 then you would have 6 virtual digital pins andstill have 8 PWM outputs on the rest of the connector.

The 6 possible pins are available for PIN variables as pin numbers 50 to55 inclusive. So if you have BRD_PWM_COUNT at the default value of 4,then the two digital output pins will be pin numbers 54 and 55.

In summary:

If BRD_PWM_CNT= 2 then

50 = RC9

51 = RC10

52 = Aux 3

53 = Aux 4

54 = Aux 5

55 = Aux 6

If BRD_PWM_CNT= 4 then Exifeditor 1 1 14.

50 = RC9

51 = RC10

52 = RC11

53 = RC12

54 = Aux 5

55 = Aux 6

If BRD_PWM_CNT= 6 then

50 = RC9

51 = RC10

52 = RC11

53 = RC12

54 = RC13

55 = RC14

By default, the pins are digital outputs as outlined above. A digitalpin will instead be a digital input if it is assigned to a parameterthat represents a digital input. For example, setting CAM_FEEDBACK_PINto 50 will make pin 50 the digital input that receives a signal from thecamera when a picture has been taken.

Powering¶

The topic Powering the Pixhawkexplains both simple and advanced power-supply options for the Pixhawk.

Mind mapping is the process of using visual diagrams to show the relationships between ideas or information. Its popular uses include project planning, collecting and organizing thoughts, brainstorming and presentations — all in order to help solve problems, map out resources and uncover new ideas.

It can be more useful than trying to keep track of our ideas by scribbling them on paper, and can aid in manipulating and generating concepts.

We've compiled a list of 24 mind mapping tools to help you organize, summarize and visualize information, with both free and paid versions available to suit any budget or requirement. The tools mentioned are either browser- or desktop-based, with a selection of mind mapping mobile apps at the end of the article for use on iOS and Android devices.
