Pix32 V6 is not Pixhawk Autopilot Bus compatiable

double07killor opened this issue · comments

https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_controller/holybro_pix32_v6.html

This page says that the Pix32 V6 complies with the pixhawk autopilot bus but it does not, it uses a different pinout as specified on the 100 pin connector link also given on the page

That says that the flight controller and the carrier board are connected by a 100 pin connector. I read this to mean that the carrier board has the Pixhawk Autopilot bus.

@vincentpoont2 Is that correct? If so we should be more precise in the wording.

Yea, Saying that it complies with PAB is mistake and should be taken out.
#2131

the flight controller and the carrier board are connected by a 100 pin connector.

But PAB has a the 100 pin + 50 pin, it seems like this sentence is not implies it use PAB, but it can be removed if necessary

Thanks!

Yeah it was a bit confusing,

The PAB has a 100-pin and 50 pin connector, but the 50 pin is optional, which means that you could build a setup using only the 100 pin connector, but this 100 pin connector is not compatible, I would guess that it could even be a mechanically incompatible connector but at the very least the pinout is different,

I see the page hasn't been updated yet, I only say this because I'm curious what the change will be, I almost bought a V6 to use with the PAB (I cannot find any PAB fc's in stock atm) because of that comment so I'll be happy to see when this is cleared up...

@double07killor You can see in the PR that Vince linked above: #2131 - he just deleted the statement it was PAB compatible.

I'll regenerate the docs on the live server later today.
