Q1. What is the significance of the "12S" in the PM02 12S power module?

Ans. The "12S" indicates that the PM02 power module is designed to safely and accurately handle input voltages from battery packs up to 12 cells in series (approximately 50.4V fully charged). This makes it suitable for larger, more powerful drones that use high-voltage battery systems.

Q2. How does the Pixhawk 6C Mini's triple redundant IMU system improve drone reliability?

Ans. The triple redundant IMU system means the flight controller has three independent Inertial Measurement Units. If one IMU fails or provides inconsistent data, the system can automatically switch to or cross-reference data from the other IMUs, significantly increasing flight stability, reliability, and safety, especially in challenging conditions.

Q3. Is this flight controller compatible with both ArduPilot and PX4 firmware?

Ans. Yes, the HolyBro Pixhawk 6C Mini is fully compatible with both the popular open-source flight firmware projects, ArduPilot and PX4. This provides users with flexibility to choose the firmware that best suits their application and development workflow, allowing for extensive customization and advanced features.
