Description

The Holybro PM06D Power Module is engineered as a critical power management component for advanced flight control systems. It integrates a high-efficiency switching regulator with robust power distribution, enabling clean and stable 5.2V power delivery to sensitive avionics like the Pixhawk 5X and 6X from a wide range of battery sources.

Its core function extends beyond simple voltage regulation to include precise, digital monitoring of battery health. The module measures both input voltage and current draw, transmitting this data via an I2C-compatible interface for real-time telemetry and battery management within PX4 or ArduPilot (v4.4+). The board’s high-current PCB traces and built-in capacitor ensure stable performance under demanding electrical loads typical in heavy-lift and long-endurance UAVs.

Key Features

  • High-Voltage Input Range: Compatible with 2S to 14S LiPo batteries (8.4V to 58.8V), ideal for large multirotor and fixed-wing platforms.
  • Robust Power Distribution: PCB rated for 70A continuous and 120A burst current, providing a solid foundation for high-power ESCs.
  • Digital Telemetry Interface: Utilizes an I2C digital signal for accurate voltage and current sensing, requiring SENS_EN_INA228 parameter enablement in PX4.
  • Integrated Switching Regulator: Delivers a stable 5.2V @ 3A output, sufficient to power a flight controller and peripherals.
  • Enhanced Electrical Stability: Includes an onboard capacitor to filter noise and ensure clean power delivery to sensitive components.
  • Durable Connector System: Features a Molex 2.00mm pitch CLIK-Mate connector rated for 3.0A per contact for reliable connectivity.
  • Flight Controller Optimized: Designed specifically for seamless integration with Pixhawk® 5X and 6X flight controllers.

Applications

  • Heavy-lift cinematography and agricultural spraying drones requiring 6S-14S power systems.
  • Long-range fixed-wing UAVs and VTOL platforms utilizing Pixhawk 5X or 6X for autonomous navigation.
  • Industrial inspection and cargo delivery drones where precise battery telemetry and high-current power distribution are critical.
  • High-performance FPV racing or freestyle builds transitioning to larger, high-voltage power systems (Note: requires compatible digital-interface FC).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Holybro PM06D Power Module compatible with ArduPilot firmware?

Yes, the PM06D is supported in ArduPilot version 4.4 and later. It uses a digital I2C interface for telemetry, so you must ensure your flight controller and ArduPilot build support the INA228 current sensor driver for proper functionality.

What flight controllers are NOT compatible with the PM06D?

The PM06D is not compatible with flight controllers that require an analog power module input. This includes the Pixhawk 6C & Mini, Pixhawk4 & Mini, pix32 v5, and the Durandal. It is designed specifically for the digital I2C interface on the Pixhawk 5X and 6X.

What is the maximum battery configuration supported?

The PM06D supports a very wide input range from 2S (8.4V) up to 14S (58.8V) LiPo batteries. Its PCB is rated for 70A continuous current, making it suitable for high-power, high-voltage drone applications like heavy-lift and long-endurance UAVs.

Do I need to configure any parameters in PX4 to use this module?

Yes. When using the PM06D with PX4, you must manually enable the INA228 current sensor driver by setting the parameter SENS_EN_INA228 to 'Enabled'. This allows the flight controller to correctly read the voltage and current data from the module's I2C interface.
