Digital Power Module (PM)
Pixhawk 5X & 6X uses l2C digital protocol power sensing, so you will need to a digital power module. Digital power module will have a "D" at the end, such as PM02D.
This is the standard power module for Pixhawk 5X & 6X. It has XT60 pre-soldered and a low profile design.
PM02D
This PM is designed for multi-rotor like the X500 V2. It has both XT-30 & XT-60 connectors preinstalled for motor ESCs and Battery, as well as two 5V BEC and a selectable 8V/12V output different kinds of peripheral devices, compatible for Pixhawk 5X and 6X.
If you are have to use analog power module with Pixhawk 5X or 6X. With PX4 & QGC, you can use an ADS1115 board and wire it like this diagram and set the following parameters:
- ADC_ADS1115_EN = 1
- Save & Reboot
- BAT1_A_PER_V = 36
- BAT1_I_CHANNEL = 1
- BAT1_V_CHANNEL = 0
- BAT1_V_DIV = 18.18
