RadioLink PIXHAWK

NEW CIRCUIT DESIGN

Less Interference of Inner Components

Unique Automation Software Testing System

Brand Assurance


22+ years of RC experience.

RadioLink Electronic Limited was founded on September 15th, 2003, and registered trademark in China, European Union and USA.

In 2013, ten channels transmitter AT10 with full functions and full model types was launched. Radiolink succeeded in finishing the strategy transformation from full set of electronic design solutions provider to professional RC remote control system designer and manufacturer.

R&D Capacity


In 2014, Radiolink planned to develop flight controller and picked up the PIXHAWK finally by comparing most of the flight controllers.

It took about one year and seven months to repeatedly test and learn all the functions such as basic use, PID parameter regulation, review a Log of helicopter, fixed wing, multicopter, car and boat.

Redesigned the circuit after totally understanding the circuit design and program code of PIXHAWK, achieved less interference of inner components, less noise, more accurate compass and safety while flying, resolved the problem that Altitude Hold was not so much precision.


Quality Assurance


Radiolink took about six months to develop the Automation software Testing system, ensuring the quality of every function of every PIXHAWK.

As the only PlX manufacturer that realizes test automation from the sensor to the interface, testing efficiency of Radiolink is far more than traditional manual testing.

Production Assurance


Complete automatic, anti-static form SMT to welding achieved less interference of inner components.

Full mechanical, anti-static, fully automated welding from patch to backhand welding, to reduce the interference of geomagnetic sensors, which greatly improves the efficiency of production inspection.

All the chips, such as the processor, sensors, and others, are imported as a whole package by the primary agency. Dust-free and environmentally-friendly workshop ensures its durability.

Equipped with the SUI04, Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance


An external I2C expansion board can be connected, supporting up to 6 SUI04 ultrasonic obstacle avoidance modules, achieving omnidirectional obstacle avoidance in all directions (front, back, left, right, and upward), as well as altitude hold downwards. This ensures safety for applications such as firefighting, emergency rescue, tea garden and orchard plant protection, and educational training.

Power Module* with Wide Voltage Input


The power module that comes with the flight controller with a wide voltage input range of 2-12S (7.4-50.4V), a maximum detection current of 90A (single ESC maximum detection current is 22.5A), a BEC output voltage of 5.3±0.2V, and a BEC output current of 2A.

When installing the flying cars, multi-copters, VTOL Fixed-Wing, etc., please select the power module shown in the figure above.

When installing the helicopters, fixed-wingers, mowers, bait boats, etc., please select the power module shown in the figure above.

*Note: The default factory packing only includes one piece of power module (choose one from the two power modules above). When purchasing, please choose the correct power module package version according to the installation requirements.
