Readytosky M10 GPS Module External Compass with GPS Holder | For PIX Pixhawk 2.4.8 Flight Controller

Super accurate GPS module it says it can only be used with a flight controller but you can easily use this with a Microcontroller as well. The green wire is TX and the yellow wire is RX you also get a magnetometer with this as well those are the orange and white lins which I assume are I2c (SDA, SCL)

thanks

I ordered this GPS to use with my autopilot and as I received it I opened the case to see inside and make sure that it's original Ublox and it was. I used u-center program and as I connected the GPS it gave me 3 satellites in my home under the roof which is great. Also it has external compass that its very necessary, you can't trust internal compass on the autopilot board.

Purchased this for my drone kit. It easily connects right in and the stand has an added threaded hold in the bottom which made mounting it very easy. The stand keeps it away from all you other drone electronics to give a clear signal. The price and functional integration I to the Pixhawk is great.

Worked awesome, for about 5 minutes. Now just a solid red light, and doesn’t pick up any satellites. After a quick email conversation, they sent out a new unit that works great. Definitely a satisfied customer now.

Zero instructions or pino-ut supplied. Listed as PIXHAWK compatible. But PIXHAWK standardizes on JST GH plugs. This thing has JST SH plugs. So its not PIXHAWK ready unless by pixhawk ready they mean you have to rewire it into your own JST GH plug?

Finally got the drone ready, but after a few attempts to fly, the compass stopped working. Gps does worj but compass not.

Included everything shown in the photos, nicely packaged. Disassembled it, so I could figure out the wiring, and connect it up to a Beaglebone Blue (had to change plugs). PCB has informative silk for those "do it yourself" projects. Had some difficulty screwing the pole into the upright position, but found out a set screw was sticking out too far. Because the flat on the pole is tapered, I simply raised the pole a bit and the set screw was able to go in further. Pinouts If you can't read the photo, the labels are (from top to bottom) SCL, SDA, TXD, RXD, GND, VCC. TXD and RXD are with respect to the GPS chip, so connect RXD to the Beaglebone UART_TX line and TXD to the Beaglebone UART_RX line. VCC was connect to 5V. Signals (SCL, SDA, TXD) are 3.3 volt level. Arducopter detected the GPS and compass on the first try.

excellent job thanks
