MATEKSYS M10Q-5883 GNSS & Compass

The MATEKSYS M10Q-5883 GNSS & Compass is a powerful multi-constellation GNSS module powered by u-blox SAM-M10Q-00B. Thie MQ10-5883 supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, providing exceptional sensitivity and maximum position availability. The high-gain 15 x 15 mm2 patch antenna offers the best balance between performance and small size, while the omnidirectional radiation pattern increases installation flexibility.

• SAM-M10Q supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to select the best signals. This maximizes the position availability, in particular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban canyons. u-blox Super-S (Super-Signal) technology offers great RF sensitivity and can improve the dynamic position accuracy in non-line-of-sight scenarios.
• The high-gain 15 x 15 mm2 patch antenna provides the best balance between performance and small size. The omnidirectional antenna radiation pattern increases flexibility for device installation.
• The SAM-M10Q features the u-blox M10 standard precision GNSS platform and provides exceptional sensitivity and acquisition time for all L1 GNSS signals.
• M10Q-5883 uses a multi-constellation GNSS module powered by u-blox SAM-M10Q-00B.

WIRING

• M10Q-5883  5V to Flight controller 4~9V
• M10Q-5883  RX to Flight controller UART_TX
• M10Q-5883  TX to Flight controller UART_RX
• M10Q-5883  CL to Flight controller I2C_SCL
• M10Q-5883  DA to Flight controller I2C_SDA
• M10Q-5883  G  to Flight controller GND

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Compass Alignment(flat mounting): Tilting the magnetometer is strongly discouraged!
  • INAV/BetaFLight: compass Arrow forward, set CW 270° Flip when the flight controller arrow is facing forward.
  • INAV/BetaFLight: compass Arrow backward, set CW 90° Flip when the flight controller arrow is facing forward.
  • Ardupilot/Mission Planner: Rotation None.
• Make sure to have the compass/magnetometer 10cm away from power lines/ESC/motors/iron-based material
• INAV 5.0.0, Betaflight 4.3.0, and ArduPilot 4.3 or newer are required.
• UBlox NEO-M9N, MAX-M10S, and SAM-M10Q series all don’t have data flash built-in. Once GNSS is powered off and the supercapacitor runs out. the settings will go back to default.
• UBX protocol is bidirectional.  Flight controller firmware can change settings on GPS via UBX protocol. You don’t need to set GNSS module parameters in the u-center.
• The default configuration on SAM-M10Q with ublox FW 5.1 is concurrent reception of GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou B1C with QZSS and SBAS enabled.
• Start with u-blox GNSS FW3.01, time pulse is aligned with UTC time and that time is set to valid only after the leap second is downloaded. That could take up to 12.5 min. Probably PPS LED will not blink immediately after GPS has 3D fixed.
• The M10Q-5883 provides the ability to reset the receiver. Bridging the “RST” pad to the Ground for at least 100 ms will trigger a cold start. RESET will delete all information and trigger a cold start. It should only be used as a recovery option. If you are sure wiring and setup are all right. but the flight controller can’t detect the GNSS module(grey GPS icon), try doing the reset.
• The scratches on the ceramic antenna are the result of tuning the antenna.
