Holybro PM06 V2-14S Micro Power Module

The PM06 V2 is a cut down version of Holybro’s Full-Size PM07 power management board, making it suited to smaller platforms, for example racing drones. This is the 14S version of the PM06, the standard PM06 V2 supports up to 10S input.

Like the PM07, this power board serves the purpose of providing a stable power supply along with voltage/current monitoring to compatible flight controllers such as the APM, Pix32, Pixhawk, Pixhawk Mini, Pixhawk 4 or Durandal. It also functions as a power distribution board for connecting speed controllers too and includes a XT60 pigtail cable for connection with a battery. The board accepts an input power supply of 7-58V (Up to 14S LiPo) and outputs 5volts at 3amps. The board has a current rating of 120amps, which is split between four power output pairs, so suited to quadcopters. Lastly, there is a LC filtered output, which can be used to provide a clean power supply to FPV equipment.

PX4 QGroundControl Setup

• Connector the Power Module to battery and connect the flight controller to your ground station via USB.
• Open QGroundControl go Vehicle Setup and Power tab and Input the Number of Cells.
• Ensure the Voltage Divider & Amps per Volt is correct.

For more information with setting PX4 with QGround Control, refer to the PX4 Guide.

Ardupilot Mission Planner Setup

• Connector the Power Module to battery and connect the flight controller to your ground station via USB.
• Open Mission Planner, go to Setup page and Battery Monitor tab and select the following:

• Monitor – “Analog Voltage and Current”
• Sensor – “9: Holybro Pixhawk 4 PM”

• For Pixhawk 4, Pixhawk 4 Mini, Pix32v5, Pix32, select the following:
  • HW Ver – “0: CUAV V5/Pixhawk 4 or API “

Alternatively, input the following in the parameter list

• BATT_VOLT_PIN: 0
• BATT_CURR_PIN: 1

• For Durandal, select the following:
  • HW Ver – “9: Durandal/ZealotH743”

Alternatively, input the following in the parameter list

• BATT_VOLT_PIN: 16
• BATT_CURR_PIN: 17

• For Pixhawk 5X
  • You will need to use a digital power module like the that end with a “D” such as the PM02D.

For more information regarding setting up Power Module with Mission Planner. Please refer to the Ardupilot Wiki Page.

Current Rating

The XT60 plug and 12AWG wire that PM06 comes with are rated for 30A continuous current and 60A instantaneous current (<1 minute). If a higher current is being used, the plug type and wire size should be changed accordingly. The specifications and models are as follows:
