UBLOX NEO-M8N High Precision GPS Module with Compass for Pixhawk

Navigate with Confidence – UBLOX NEO-M8N GPS Module

The UBLOX NEO-M8N GPS Module delivers high-precision positioning and reliable heading data for Pixhawk and other flight controllers. Engineered for UAVs, RC planes, and autonomous systems, this module combines a ceramic antenna, integrated magnetometer, and multi-GNSS reception to give you fast locks and stable navigation performance.

Key Features

• UBLOX NEO-M8N core for high accuracy and sensitivity
• Built-in compass (magnetometer) for precise heading and improved orientation
• Ceramic antenna for strong signal reception and noise resistance
• Multi-GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for faster fixes and better coverage
• I2C communication for compass integration and easy connection to flight controllers
• High update rate and compact form factor suitable for drones and UAV payloads

Compatibility and Applications

This UBLOX GPS module is designed to integrate seamlessly with Pixhawk, APM and most autopilot systems. Common uses include:

• Autonomous drone navigation and path planning
• FPV and RC aircraft requiring reliable telemetry and return-to-home
• Mapping, surveying, and aerial photogrammetry missions
• Long-range flights, telemetry, and professional UAV operations

Technical Specifications

• GNSS Receiver: UBLOX NEO-M8N
• Antenna: Integrated ceramic antenna
• Compass: Built-in 3-axis magnetometer (I2C interface)
• Interfaces: UART for GPS data, I2C for compass, power pins for 5V supply
• Supported Systems: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou
• Update Rate: High refresh rate (suitable for fast-moving UAV platforms)
• Form Factor: Compact, lightweight module for easy mounting

What You Get

• UBLOX NEO-M8N GPS module with integrated compass and antenna
• Connector cable compatible with Pixhawk/APM standard GPS ports
• Mounting hardware or adhesive pad (depending on package)

Installation and Setup Tips

• Mount the module away from motors, ESCs, and power wires to reduce magnetic and radio interference.
• Orient the module so the compass axes align with your airframe; perform a compass calibration after installation.
• Use a clear view of the sky for initial satellite lock; multi-GNSS support reduces time to first fix.
• Verify wiring: UART for GPS, I2C for compass. Confirm port settings in your flight controller firmware.

Best Practices for Reliable Performance

• Keep the antenna clear of metal objects and heavy carbon fiber covers when possible.
• Regularly update your flight controller and GPS firmware for compatibility and improved features.
• Perform compass and accelerometer calibrations in an open area before each critical mission.
