HI Xu,

really nice blog. I bought the 6X instead od 6C. Do you think having separte jetson nano is better, then buying the one they are providing https://holybro.com/collections/autopilot-flight-controllers/products/pixhawk-jetson-baseboard?variant=43818665148605

Also do they think your battery and balancer recommendation is also valid for the 6X

thanks for reading! I actually did not know about Holybro's pixhawk/jetson integrated board when I built mine. Very nice. If you've already bought the 6X, then just buying an Orin Nano would be cheaper, but check that it can fit on the payload mount.

Battery and UBEC should be fine for the 6X or any FC because they tend to all run 5V and multicopter PDBs tend to have dc/dc converters onboard that step down the voltage from ~2-6s down to 5V.

edit: I just realized you can buy the baseboard to connect your own Orin and 6X. Which would make more sense for you IMO. Better center of gravity and fast ethernet connection
