NewBeeDrone M10Q Micro GPS Module with Compass
by NewBeeDrone

The NewBeeDrone M10Q Micro GPS Module with Compass is an ultra-compact geospatial positioning instrument engineered for weight-constrained unmanned architectures including FPV micro drones, sub-250g quadcopters, and miniature tactical sUAS. Weighing just 2.16g with a 17x12x5mm footprint, this module integrates a 10th-generation u-blox M10 engine and a high-precision QMC5883 digital magnetometer (compass). It concurrently tracks multiple global satellite constellations—GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo—to accelerate cold-start 3D fix times and ensure stable positioning accuracy (PDOP) in urban environments or heavy canopy coverage. An onboard 2dBi high-gain ceramic patch antenna optimizes signal reception while mitigating interference from high-power video transmitters, outputting low-latency telemetry data at a 115200 bps baud rate and up to 10Hz refresh rate.

Equipped with an integrated QMC5883 magnetometer, the module provides reliable heading and directional awareness independent of GPS motion, making it an essential component for autonomous flight navigation, localized hover stability, and automated Return-to-Home (RTH) operations. The pre-terminated JST 0.8mm 6-pin connector ensures clean, plug-and-play installation without manual micro-soldering. This sub-miniature navigation platform is heavily utilized across several industries: RC hobbyists and drone racers rely on it for safety rescue modes; secondary and higher education robotics labs deploy it to teach global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and telemetry protocols; while commercial sUAS manufacturers, defense contractors, and military agencies utilize its strict SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) compliance for low-signature reconnaissance drone prototyping and close-range tactical simulation platforms.
