GNSS and Compass M9N-5883
Description
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek M9N-5883 is a compact and reliable GNSS + Compass module based on the u-blox NEO-M9N satellite receiver and QMC5883L magnetometer. It supports multi-constellation positioning (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) for high-precision global navigation and includes an integrated 25×25×4 mm ceramic patch antenna. Ideal for drones, robotics, and autonomous vehicles, the module provides both location and heading data through UART and I²C interfaces.
1.2. Product Features
- Equipped with u-blox NEO-M9N multi-GNSS receiver.
- Integrated QMC5883L magnetometer for accurate compass heading.
- Supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
- High-sensitivity tracking up to -167 dBm.
- Patch antenna size: 25 × 25 × 4 mm (high gain, low noise).
- UART interface for GNSS (TX/RX) and I²C interface for compass (SDA/SCL).
- Supply voltage: 4.0 V – 5.5 V (typical 5 V).
- Current consumption: approx. 50 mA.
- Compact dimensions and lightweight for easy integration.
- Compatible with ArduPilot, PX4, and most flight controllers.
1.3. Applications
- UAVs / Drones: Navigation and heading sensing for autopilot systems.
- Robotics: Real-time global positioning and compass orientation.
- Mapping and Surveying: Multi-GNSS data for accurate geographic recording.
- IoT / Embedded Devices: Position tracking and direction detection.
