Digital Power Module (PM) Setup
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.
Low voltage (6S) Digital Power Module
- Enable Parameter
SENS_EN_INA226(this is enabled by default)
High Voltage (12S/14S) Digital Power Module:
- Enable Parameter
SENS_EN_INA228
BATT_MONITOR= 21BATT_I2C_BUS= 1BATT_I2C_ADDR- = 65 (For Low voltage (6S) Digital Power Module)
- = 69 (For High Voltage (12S/14S) Digital Power Module)
In Ardupilot 4.4 and later, the BATT_I2C_ADDR for Pixhawk 6X is default to be 0. This will perform a auto detection of I2C address, therefore you do not need to change BATT_I2C_ADDR
This is the standard power module for Pixhawk 5X & 6X. It has XT60 pre-soldered and a low profile design, available in High Voltage (HV) and Low Voltage version (LV).

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.
PM06D provides regulated power supply for your Pixhawk® 5X & 6X from the battery, as well as current consumption and battery voltage measurements, all through a 6pin cable. It has built-in power distribution, allowing you power your ESC and FC with the same board.
