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.
