Lectron Pi5 Light Autopilot
Compact Pixhawk V6X Compatible Autopilot with Compute Module 5
The Lectron Pi5 Light Autopilot is a lightweight, cost-optimized variant of the Pi5 Autopilot family, designed for systems that need Compute Module 5 based onboard computing without the full footprint of the standard Pi5 Autopilot.
By removing the dedicated IO processor and reducing the connector set, the board keeps a small form factor while still offering CM5 computing, Hailo-8 edge AI acceleration, and reliable FMU-based flight control.
Product Description
Lectron Pi5 Light Autopilot pairs an STM32H753 flight management unit with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, giving developers a compact platform for autonomous systems that require onboard perception and decision-making alongside deterministic flight control.
Its reduced size and optional aluminum case make it well suited for smaller airframes and applications where weight and space are at a premium, while still supporting PX4 and ArduPilot.
