GNSS and Compass, M10Q-5883
Description
1. Product Overview
1.1. Product Description
The Matek M10Q-5883 GNSS & Compass is a compact dual-function module that integrates the u-blox SAM-M10Q multi-constellation GNSS receiver and a QMC5883L magnetometer. It provides precise positioning and heading data for UAVs, multirotor drones, and fixed-wing aircraft. Supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou simultaneously, this module ensures fast satellite acquisition and stable navigation performance in a small, lightweight form factor.
1.2. Key Features
- High-performance u-blox SAM-M10Q GNSS module.
- Supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou.
- Integrated QMC5883L 3-axis magnetometer (compass).
- Default update rate: 5 Hz UBX (GPS+GAL+BDS+GLO) or 1 Hz NMEA.
- Input voltage range: 4 – 9 V (via 5V pad).
- Typical power consumption: ~13 mA.
- Operating temperature range: −20°C to +80°C.
- UART interface for GNSS (TX, RX) and I²C for compass (DA, CL).
- LED indicator for GNSS fix status (PPS output).
- Compact size: 20 × 20 × 12.4 mm, weight: ~8 g.
- Factory-configured and compatible with ArduPilot, INAV, and Betaflight.

3. Applications
- Multirotor Drones: Reliable GNSS position and compass heading for flight control systems.
- Fixed-Wing Aircraft: Provides GPS navigation and stable magnetic heading.
- Robotics & Mapping: Compact positioning and orientation sensor for autonomous systems.
- UAV Telemetry: Accurate location data for navigation and mission planning.
4. Connection and Wiring
- 5V: Power input (4 – 9 V).
- GND: Ground connection.
- TX / RX: UART interface for GNSS data (connect to FC RX/TX respectively).
- DA / CL: I²C interface for compass connection to flight controller.
- PPS LED: Status indicator — solid ON for power, blinking at 1 Hz when GPS lock achieved.
5. Setup and Integration
- Connect UART (TX/RX) to the flight controller’s GPS port.
- Connect I²C (DA/CL) lines to the flight controller’s compass interface.
- Ensure module is mounted flat and level, arrow pointing forward.
- Perform compass calibration within your autopilot software.
- Place the module away from ESCs, motors, and power cables to reduce interference.
- For best GNSS performance, ensure a clear view of the sky.
6. Advantages
- Dual GNSS and compass in one compact, lightweight module.
- Concurrent multi-constellation tracking for improved accuracy and reliability.
- Compatible with major flight controllers and open-source firmware.
- Low power consumption and wide voltage range.
- Fast satellite acquisition and stable 3D fix performance.
7. Limitations and Notes
- Compass is sensitive to magnetic interference — mount away from power lines and motors.
- Ensure proper calibration after installation.
- Settings may revert to default on power loss if persistent configuration is not supported.
- Do not exceed voltage rating (max 9 V).
8. Practical Summary
The Matek M10Q-5883 GNSS & Compass module offers an advanced, compact navigation solution for UAVs and robotics. Combining the u-blox SAM-M10Q receiver with a QMC5883L compass, it delivers reliable satellite tracking and magnetic orientation with minimal wiring. Designed for ArduPilot, INAV, and Betaflight systems, it ensures precise flight navigation, quick satellite lock, and stable operation even in demanding aerial environments.
