# Holybro Pix32 v5 ::: warning PX4 does not manufacture this (or any) autopilot. Contact the [manufacturer](https://holybro.com/) for hardware support or compliance issues. ::: [Pix32 v5](https://holybro.com/products/pix32-v5)® is an advanced autopilot flight controller designed and made by Holybro®. It is optimized to run on PX4 firmware, which is intended for both academic and commercial developers. It is based on the [Pixhawk-project](https://pixhawk.org/) **FMUv5** open hardware design and runs PX4 on the [NuttX](https://nuttx.apache.org/) OS. It can be regarded as a variant version of Pixhawk4. The Pix32 v5 is designed for pilots who need a high power, flexible and customisable flight control system. It is comprised of a separate flight controller and carrier (base) board, which are connected by a 100pin connector. This design allows users to either select a base board made by Holybro, or customize their own. ![Pix32 v5 Family](../../assets/flight_controller/holybro_pix32_v5/pix32_v5_family.jpg) ::: info This flight controller is [manufacturer supported](../flight_controller/autopilot_manufacturer_supported.md). ::: ## Quick Summary - Main FMU Processor: STM32F765 - 32 Bit Arm® Cortex®-M7, 216MHz, 2MB memory, 512KB RAM - IO Processor: STM32F100 - 32 Bit Arm® Cortex®-M3, 24MHz, 8KB SRAM - On-board sensors: - Accel/Gyro: ICM-20689 - Accel/Gyro: BMI055 or ICM20602 - Magnetometer: IST8310 - Barometer: MS5611 - GPS: u-blox Neo-M8N GPS/GLONASS receiver; integrated magnetometer IST8310 - Interfaces: - 8-16 PWM outputs (8 from IO, 8 from FMU) - 3 dedicated PWM/Capture inputs on FMU - Dedicated R/C input for CPPM - Dedicated R/C input for Spektrum / DSM and S.Bus with analog / PWM RSSI input - Dedicated S.Bus servo output - 5 general purpose serial ports - 2 with full flow control - 1 with separate 1.5A current limit - 3 I2C ports - 4 SPI buses - 1 internal high speed SPI sensor bus with 4 chip selects and 6 DRDYs - 1 internal low noise SPI bus dedicated for - Barometer with 2 chip selects, no DRDYs - 1 internal SPI bus dedicated for FRAM - Supports dedicated SPI calibration EEPROM located on sensor module - 1 external SPI buses - Up to 2 CANBuses for dual CAN with serial ESC - Each CANBus has individual silent controls or ESC RX-MUX control - Analog inputs for voltage / current of 2 batteries - 2 additional analog inputs - Electrical System: - Power module output: 4.9~5.5V - Max input voltage: 6V - Max current sensing: 120A - USB Power Input: 4.75~5.25V - Servo Rail Input: 0~36V - Weight and Dimensions: - Dimensions: 45x45x13.5mm - Weight: 33.0g - Environmental Data, Quality & Reliability: - Operating temperature: -40 ~ 85°c - Storage temp. -40~85℃ - CE - FCC - RoHS compliant (lead-free) Additional information can be found in the [Pix32 V5 Technical Data Sheet](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Holybro_PIX32-V5_technical_data_sheet_v1.1.pdf). ## Where to Buy {#store} Order from [Holybro website](https://holybro.com/products/pix32-v5). ## Assembly/Setup The [Pix32 v5 Wiring Quick Start](../assembly/quick_start_holybro_pix32_v5.md) provides instructions on how to assemble required/important peripherals including GPS, Power Management Board etc. ## Base Board Layouts ![Pix32 v5 Image](../../assets/flight_controller/holybro_pix32_v5/pix32_v5_base_boards_layout.jpg) ## Pinouts [_pix32 v5_ and mini baseboard](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Holybro_Pix32-V5-Base-Mini-Pinouts.pdf) ## Dimensions ![Pix32 v5 Image](../../assets/flight_controller/holybro_pix32_v5/Dimensions_no_border.jpg) ## Voltage Ratings _Pix32 v5_ can be triple-redundant on the power supply if three power sources are supplied. The three power rails are: **POWER1**, **POWER2** and **USB**. ::: info The output power rails **FMU PWM OUT** and **I/O PWM OUT** (0V to 36V) do not power the flight controller board (and are not powered by it). You must supply power to one of **POWER1**, **POWER2** or **USB** or the board will be unpowered. ::: **Normal Operation Maximum Ratings** Under these conditions all power sources will be used in this order to power the system: 1. **POWER1** and **POWER2** inputs (4.9V to 5.5V) 1. **USB** input (4.75V to 5.25V) **Absolute Maximum Ratings** Under these conditions the system will not draw any power (will not be operational), but will remain intact. 1. **POWER1** and **POWER2** inputs (operational range 4.1V to 5.7V, 0V to 10V undamaged) 1. **USB** input (operational range 4.1V to 5.7V, 0V to 6V undamaged) 1. Servo input: VDD_SERVO pin of **FMU PWM OUT** and **I/O PWM OUT** (0V to 42V undamaged) ## Building Firmware ::: tip Most users will not need to build this firmware! It is pre-built and automatically installed by _QGroundControl_ when appropriate hardware is connected. ::: To [build PX4](../dev_setup/building_px4.md) for this target: ```sh make holybro_pix32v5_default ``` ## Debug Port The system's [serial console](../debug/system_console.md) and SWD interface runs on the **FMU Debug** port ![FMU debug port diagram](../../assets/flight_controller/holybro_pix32_v5/FMU_Debug_Port_Horizontal.jpg) The pinout uses the standard [Pixhawk Debug Mini](../debug/swd_debug.md#pixhawk-debug-mini) interface defined in the [Pixhawk Connector Standard](https://github.com/pixhawk/Pixhawk-Standards/blob/master/DS-009%20Pixhawk%20Connector%20Standard.pdf). ## Peripherals - [Digital Airspeed Sensor](../sensor/airspeed.md) - [Telemetry Radio Modules](../telemetry/index.md) - [Rangefinders/Distance sensors](../sensor/rangefinders.md) ## Supported Platforms / Airframes Any multicopter / airplane / rover or boat that can be controlled with normal RC servos or Futaba S-Bus servos. The complete set of supported configurations can be seen in the [Airframes Reference](../airframes/airframe_reference.md). ## Additional Information - [Pix32 v5 Technical Data Sheet](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Holybro_PIX32-V5_technical_data_sheet_v1.1.pdf) - [Pix32 v5 Pinouts](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Holybro_Pix32-V5-Base-Mini-Pinouts.pdf) - [Pix32 v5 Base Board Schematic Diagram](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Holybro_PIX32-V5-BASE-Schematic_diagram.pdf) - [Pix32 v5 Mini Base Board Schematic Diagram](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Holybro_PIX32-V5-Base-Mini-Board_Schematic_diagram.pdf) - [FMUv5 reference design pinout](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-n0__BYDedQrc_2NHqBenG1DNepAgnHpSGglke-QQwY/edit#gid=912976165).
