HOLYBRO M10 GPS V2

HOLYBRO M10 GPS V2 – Multi-GNSS Module with Integrated Compass

The HOLYBRO M10 GPS V2 is a high-performance GNSS module designed for drones, UAVs and other unmanned systems. It uses the u-blox M10 receiver, which supports simultaneous reception of multiple global navigation satellite systems.

GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou can be received and tracked simultaneously. This provides the flight controller with broad GNSS coverage for navigation and position estimation. The module also supports QZSS and various satellite-based augmentation systems.

The revised V2 version features a robust enclosure with an IP67 protection rating. An integrated IST8310 compass, a high-performance ceramic patch antenna and improved RF shielding make the module a compact navigation solution for professional UAV applications.

Multi-GNSS Reception

The u-blox M10 supports simultaneous use of up to four GNSS systems. The multi-GNSS architecture increases the number of available satellites and supports reliable position estimation across different operating environments.

• GPS
• Galileo
• GLONASS
• BeiDou
• QZSS
• Up to 4 GNSS systems simultaneously

Integrated IST8310 Compass

The HOLYBRO M10 GPS V2 features an integrated IST8310 magnetometer. It provides additional heading information to the flight controller and supports navigation and orientation of the unmanned system.

High-Performance Antenna

The integrated 25 × 25 × 4 mm ceramic patch antenna provides an antenna gain of 1.5 dBi. An active antenna circuit with 22 dB LNA gain supports reliable GNSS reception.

Improved V2 Signal Processing

Compared with the previous version, signal processing has been further optimized. A high-performance SAW filter and additional RF shielding around the receiver module help reduce unwanted high-frequency interference and improve signal integrity.

• High-performance SAW filter
• Additional RF shielding
• MAX2659ELT+ RF amplifier
• Low-noise 3.3 V voltage regulator
• Rechargeable backup power storage for warm starts

Robust IP67 Enclosure

The newly developed V2 enclosure provides an IP67 protection rating. The module is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion, improving durability in more demanding operating environments.

RGB Status Indicator

An integrated RGB LED can be controlled by the flight controller and provides a clear indication of different system states. In the V2 version, the buzzer, safety switch and separate safety and GPS fix LEDs were removed to reduce potential electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

Compatibility

The HOLYBRO M10 GPS V2 is suitable for flight controllers and UAV systems based on PX4 and ArduPilot. The RGB status LED is supported from PX4 1.14 and ArduPilot 4.4.0 onward.

Note for ArduPilot: If standard compass calibration is not possible, the parameter COMPASS_ORIENT=6 (Yaw270) can be used for the corresponding compass orientation.
