Foxeer M120Q V2 GPS and Compass Module M10Q-5883
by Foxeer

The Foxeer M10Q-120 V2 GPS and Compass Module (M10Q-5883) is an ultra-compact, high-performance nano GPS module designed for micro quads, 3-inch to 5-inch FPV drones, and ultra-lightweight long-range platforms. Powered by the 10th-generation u-blox M10 GNSS chipset, the M10Q-120 V2 delivers multi-constellation satellite tracking, rapid cold-start positioning, and low power consumption in a footprint measuring just 12.5mm x 17mm.

Featuring an integrated ceramic patch antenna, an onboard digital magnetometer (compass), and a built-in rechargeable backup battery, this 2.7-gram module provides location telemetry, speed metrics, and heading orientation via UART and I²C interfaces. Its compact solder pad layout allows direct, clean wiring to flight controllers running Betaflight, INAV, or ArduPilot for reliable GPS Rescue and autonomous Return-to-Home functionality.

Key Features

• u-blox 10th Gen M10 GNSS Engine: Delivers fast lock times, high sensitivity, and multi-constellation tracking across GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, SBAS, and QZSS.

• Integrated Digital Compass: Built-in magnetometer connects via I²C interface to provide precise heading orientation for rescue modes and navigation.

• Ultra-Compact Nano Footprint: Measuring 12.5mm x 17mm x 5mm and weighing only 2.7g, it fits easily on micro whoops, toothpicks, and compact FPV frames.

• Built-In Rechargeable Backup Battery: Retains satellite ephemeris data for hot starts, drastically reducing re-lock times after battery swaps.

• Direct Solder Pad Layout: Clearly labeled TX, RX, GND, 5V, SCL, and SDA solder pads simplify wiring without bulky connectors.
