Matek SystemsMatek Systems - GNSS & COMPASS, M10Q-5883

M10Q-5883 uses multi-constellation GNSS module powered by u-blox M10 series.

The GNSS module features the u-blox M10 standard precision GNSS platform and provides exceptional sensitivity and acquisition time for all L1 GNSS signals. It supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to select the best signals. This maximizes the position availability, in particular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban canyons. u-blox Super-S (Super-Signal) technology offers great RF sensitivity and can improve the dynamic position accuracy in non-line-of-sight scenarios.

The high-gain 15 x 15 mm2 patch antenna provides the best balance between performance and small size. The omnidirectional antenna radiation pattern increases flexibility for device installation.

Tips and Notes

• Compass Alignment(flat mounting): Tilting the magnetometer is strongly discouraged !
• INAV/BetaFLight: compass Arrow forward, set CW 270° Flip when flight controller arrow is facing forward.
• INAV/BetaFLight: compass Arrow backward, set CW 90° Flip when flight controller arrow is facing forward.
• Ardupilot/Mission Planner: Rotation None.

 Make sure to have compass/magnetometer 10cm away from power lines/ESC/motors/iron based material
