Sub: Pixhawk 6c full support #23310

Feature request

Hello! My team currently uses the pixhawk 2.4.8 and wants to upgrade to the pixhawk 6C since finding Pixhawk 4s and older are hard to find and we kind of want to stay current on devices. We seemed to have found a nightly build release or something similar here that we used to flash using QGroundControl but it still seems to be missing a lot of features amd parameters from the firmware for the pixhawk 6. One example being, we're trying to connect our Depth Sensor from blue robotics to the pixhawk 6c (we spliced the wires to use the right headings and we get continuity for each pin) but when we try to set it up with the pixhawk we get an error saying Pressure Sensor not Connected.

We're not entirely sure if this is a pixhawk 6c thing or an ardusub thing or if we just need to change a parameter but we also would like to use the BRD_PWM_COUNT which is not a part of the parameters as of current. Does anyone know if this is actively being worked on or what steps it takes to try and get this compatible with the 6c and the depth sensor?

BRD_PWM_COUNT is no longer used since firmware version 4.2, the pins are now set individually with SERVOx_FUNCTION set to -1.

What pressure sensor are you trying to use? have you had it working with ardupilot before? bluerobotics have a few sensors the bar 30 is compatible with arudupilot the bar02 is not.

You should ask questions over at https://discuss.ardupilot.org/ github is for development not support.
