Holybro Micro M10 GPS

The Holybro Micro M10 GPS Module is a compact satellite navigation solution developed for FPV drones, UAV platforms, and autonomous flight-control systems. Powered by the u-blox M10 receiver, it combines multi-constellation GNSS reception with a high-gain ceramic antenna and an integrated digital compass.

The module supports simultaneous reception from multiple satellite systems, helping compatible flight controllers obtain positioning data for navigation, return-to-home functions, and autonomous missions. Its small footprint and JST-GH 6-pin connector make it suitable for installations where size, weight, and straightforward wiring are important.

Features

• 10th-Generation u-blox M10 Receiver: Provides GNSS positioning for compatible drone and UAV systems.

• Multi-Constellation Support: Receives GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou concurrently, with support for QZSS and satellite-based augmentation systems.

• Integrated Digital Compass: Available with an IST8310 or IST8308 compass, depending on the selected version.

• High-Gain Ceramic Antenna: Uses a 25 × 25 × 4mm patch antenna for satellite signal reception.

• Fast Navigation Updates: Supports up to 25Hz with a single GNSS system or 10Hz with four concurrent systems.

• UBX and NMEA Protocols: Provides common GNSS communication options for supported flight controllers.

• Rechargeable Backup Component: Supports warm starts by retaining relevant receiver information.

• Compact and Lightweight: Weighs approximately 14g without the case or 16g with the case.

• Flexible Installation: Available with or without a protective case to suit different mounting requirements.

Applications

• FPV racing and freestyle drones

• Long-range FPV quadcopters

• Multirotor and fixed-wing UAVs

• Pixhawk-based flight-control systems

• Autonomous navigation and waypoint missions

• Return-to-home navigation setups

• UAV development and robotics projects

How to Use

1. Check flight-controller compatibility: Verify that your controller and firmware support the Holybro Micro M10 GPS and the selected compass version.

2. Mount the module: Position the antenna facing upward with a clear view of the sky. Keep it away from motors, ESCs, high-current wiring, and other interference sources.

3. Connect the cable: Connect the JST-GH 6-pin cable to the compatible GPS port. Check the pinout and connector orientation before powering the system.

4. Provide the correct voltage: Ensure the controller's GPS port supplies the specified 4.7–5.2V DC.

5. Configure the GPS: Set the appropriate serial port and GPS protocol in your flight-controller firmware. The published default baud rate is 115200 bps.

6. Configure the compass: Enable the detected compass, set its orientation correctly, and perform calibration according to your flight-controller documentation.

7. Test outdoors: Confirm satellite acquisition, valid position data, and correct compass readings before attempting flight.

Important Notes

• The Micro M10 is a GNSS module with an integrated compass; it is not a standalone GPS receiver without heading sensing.

• Check whether your chosen version uses the IST8310 or IST8308 compass. Firmware requirements may differ, especially for IST8308.

• Holybro specifies support for PX4 1.14, ArduPilot 4.3, INAV 5.0.0, and Betaflight 4.3.0 or later for the M10 GPS. Confirm compatibility with your exact controller and firmware release.

• The maximum update rate depends on the number of concurrently used satellite systems and the receiver configuration.

• Actual positioning performance depends on satellite visibility, installation, and radio-frequency interference.

• Choose the with-case or without-case version according to your mounting and protection requirements.

• Confirm the exact package contents before ordering, as accessories may vary by seller.
