Foxeer M10Q-250 V2 GPS w/ 5883 Compass
by Foxeer

The Foxeer M10Q-250 GPS Module with QMC5883 Compass is a high-performance positioning and directional navigation module designed for long-range FPV quads, freestyle drones, and autonomous fixed-wing platforms. Powered by the u-blox M10 generation GNSS architecture, this module provides fast satellite lock acquisition, multi-constellation tracking, and low-latency positional telemetry.

Featuring an integrated 25mm x 25mm high-gain ceramic patch antenna and an onboard QMC5883L digital compass, the M10Q-250 simultaneously receives signals from GPS, GLONASS, BDS, and GALILEO systems. The module connects via standard UART for positioning data and I²C for compass telemetry, making it fully compatible with Betaflight, INAV, and ArduPilot flight control firmware for reliable Return-To-Home (RTH) and position-hold flight modes.

Key Features

• u-blox M10 GNSS Architecture: Next-generation M10 chipset delivers rapid cold-start positioning, high sensitivity, and low power consumption.

• Integrated QMC5883L Digital Compass: Built-in magnetometer provides accurate heading orientation via I²C interface for navigation and rescue modes.

• Large 25x25mm Ceramic Patch Antenna: High-gain patch antenna ensures strong signal reception and satellite retention in challenging environments.

• Multi-Constellation Support: Simultaneously tracks GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, SBAS, and QZSS for maximum satellite availability.

• Fast Update Rate: Supports update rates up to 10Hz for smooth, real-time telemetry and flight controller response.

• Onboard Backup Battery: Integrated rechargeable battery enables warm starts and quick re-locks after power cycling.
