How to Connect VOXL to Pixhawk
VOXL can be connected to any Pixhawk via a telemetry port, not just the ModalAI Flight Core!
VOXL talks to the Pixhawk via UART at 912600 baud at 5V logic level.
You can use MCBL-00008 for this connection.
Alternatively you can make a cable that connects VOXL Port J12 to one of Pixhawk’s “telem” or “UART/I2C” ports. Make sure to configure the appropriate port in PX4’s Mavlink parameters.
| VOXL J12 Header | Pixhawk “telem” or “UART/I2C” Port |
|---|---|
| Pin 2 (TX) | Pin 3 (RX) |
| Pin 3 (RX) | Pin 2 (TX) |
| Pin 5 (GND) | Pin 6 (GND) |
For more details on Header J12 see the voxl-datasheet page. Note this is the only header that runs at 5V logic level which matches the Pixhawk.
