Description

The ARK Jetson Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) Carrier is based on the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus open source specification and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano Carrier Board. The Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) form factor enables the ARK PAB Carrier to be used with any PAB flight controller such as the ARKV6X.
