Key Features

• u-blox M10-series GNSS module: designed for GPS positioning in fixed-wing FPV, ArduPilot, INAV, and compact autonomous aircraft builds.
• Multi-constellation reception: supports concurrent GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou reception for more flexible satellite coverage.
• Integrated QMC5883L compass: provides an external I2C compass option when the flight controller layout benefits from a separated compass module.
• 15 x 15 x 4 mm patch antenna: compact high-gain antenna format for lightweight aircraft and clean top-plate mounting.
• JST-GH-6P wiring: uses a 1.27 mm pitch JST-GH-6P connector and includes a 20 cm JST-GH cable for flight-controller installation.

Configuration and Specifications

Wiring Notes

• Power: connect the module 5V input to a compatible 4-9 V flight-controller supply and connect GND to GND.
• GNSS UART: connect module TX to the flight controller UART RX, and module RX to the flight controller UART TX.
• Compass I2C: connect DA to SDA and CL to SCL on the flight controller I2C bus.
• Setup: configure the flight-controller GPS and compass settings to match your firmware, port, and aircraft requirements before flight.

Packing List

• 1 x Matek M10Q-5883 GPS compass module
• 1 x JST-GH-6P to JST-GH-6P 20 cm silicone wire

Project Uses

• Fixed-wing FPV aircraft: compact GPS and compass positioning module for builds that need clean GNSS placement away from electrical noise.
• Autopilot navigation: useful for flight controllers that accept GNSS over UART and external compass data over I2C.
• Small UAV layouts: 20 x 20 mm footprint and 8 g weight make it easier to place on constrained frames.
• Replacement or spare module: suitable when a build needs a UART/I2C GPS compass module rather than a CAN GNSS unit.

FAQ
