Holybro M10 GPS with Standard 10 Pin connector IST8308
by Holybro

The Holybro M10 GPS with Standard 10-Pin Connector (IST8308) is a high-precision, multi-constellation GNSS navigation module engineered specifically for Pixhawk-series flight controllers, autonomous UAVs, and commercial robotics. Powered by the 10th-generation u-blox M10 GNSS engine, this module concurrently receives signals from up to four major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou), delivering rapid satellite acquisition and high positioning accuracy in complex operational environments.

Equipped with an updated IST8308 digital compass, a high-gain 25x25x4mm ceramic patch antenna, and an integrated MAX2659ELT+ LNA RF amplifier, the module ensures robust signal strength and heading precision. The Standard 10-Pin JST-GH connector wires directly into primary Pixhawk GPS1 ports, while an onboard safety switch, audible buzzer, and tri-color RGB status LED provide comprehensive physical system interaction and flight status feedback.

Key Features

• u-blox 10th Gen M10 GNSS Core: Concurrently tracks up to 4 major satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for fast cold starts and reliable position lock.

• Updated IST8308 Magnetometer: Integrated digital compass provides accurate heading orientation, supported natively in modern PX4 and ArduPilot firmware releases.

• Standard 10-Pin JST-GH Plug: Direct plug-and-play compatibility with standard Pixhawk GPS1 ports (Pixhawk 5X, 6X, 6C, and PAB carrier boards).

• Integrated Avionics Suite: Features an onboard safety switch, audible buzzer, and ultra-bright tri-color RGB LED indicator for complete ground-handling feedback.

• High-Gain Active Antenna Array: 25x25x4mm ceramic patch antenna paired with a low-noise 3.3V regulator and LNA RF amplifier for maximum signal reception.

• Farah Supercapacitor: Integrated rechargeable backup capacitance retains ephemeris data for rapid warm and hot starts.
