RMRC GPS and Compass Module M10Q-5883
by RMRC

The RMRC M10Q Micro GPS and Compass Module (M10Q-5883) is an ultra-compact geospatial navigation instrument developed by ReadyMadeRC for weight-constrained FPV drones, long-range micro quads, and autonomous aircraft. Powered by the 10th-generation u-blox M10 GNSS engine, this micro module delivers concurrent multi-constellation satellite reception (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou), fast cold-start lock times, and high positioning accuracy in a miniature footprint.

Equipped with an onboard 5883-series digital compass (magnetometer), an integrated high-gain ceramic patch antenna, and a PPS status indicator LED, the RMRC M10Q Micro GPS provides both positional and directional telemetry to flight controllers running Betaflight, INAV, or ArduPilot. The board features both a top-mounted 6-pin micro connector port and direct solder pads for flexible wiring, and includes dual cable harnesses (JST-SH to JST-SH and JST-SH to individual female pins) along with 3M mounting tape for versatile installation.

Key Features

• u-blox 10th Gen M10 GNSS Engine: Concurrently tracks GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations for rapid satellite acquisition and stable 3D position lock.

• Integrated 5883 Digital Compass: Built-in magnetometer provides heading orientation via I²C interface for GPS Rescue, Return-to-Home (RTH), and navigation modes.

• Dual Wiring Options: Features an onboard 6-pin micro connector port alongside direct solder pads for clean, custom installations.

• Complete Harness Accessory Kit: Includes both a standard 6-pin interconnect cable and a 6-pin to individual female pin harness for direct header pin or breadboard connection.

• Onboard PPS Status Indicator: Onboard LED provides visual confirmation of power and 3D satellite lock status.

• Compact Micro Form Factor: Designed to fit easily into micro drone frames, sub-250g builds, and tight fixed-wing electronics bays.
