It lets you use Betaflight\u2019s GPS Rescue so the drone flies home if you lose signal, and see speed, distance and position on the OSD.<\/p>\n<p>It has a high-sensitivity 15 \u00d7 15 mm ceramic antenna, an extra LNA amplifier and a capacitor that keeps data so a hot start takes under 2 s. It updates at 10 Hz and weighs just 8 g.<\/p>\n<h3>iFlight M8Q GPS specifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>GPS chip: SAM-M8Q, 72 channels<\/li>\n<li>Compass: QMC5883L<\/li>\n<li>Update rate: 10 Hz<\/li>\n<li>Cold start: under 29 s; hot start: under 2 s<\/li>\n<li>Horizontal accuracy: under 2.5 m on average<\/li>\n<li>Power: 3.3 to 5 V, 25 mA<\/li>\n<li>Size: 20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 10.5 mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 8 g<\/li>\n<li>Contents: GPS and 4-pin SH1.0 silicone lead<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to wire it<\/h3>\n<p>The GPS goes to a free UART on the flight controller, with TX and RX crossed, and the compass to the SDA and SCL pads. In Betaflight enable GPS on that port; the default baud rate is 9600. Mount it on top, away from the video and power wires, so it locks satellites quickly and the compass is not thrown off.<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions about the iFlight M8Q GPS<\/h3>\n<h4>Does it work with Betaflight GPS Rescue?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, that is one of its main uses, along with showing position and speed on the OSD.<\/p>\n<h4>Do I need to connect the compass?<\/h4>\n<p>Not for Betaflight; it is useful with INAV and other navigation firmwares.<\/p>\n<h3>More for your drone<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dronefpvshop.com\/en\/fpv-gps\/\">All GPS modules<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dronefpvshop.com\/en\/iflight\/\">iFlight products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dronefpvshop.com\/en\/constructor\/\">FPV configurator: check which parts fit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.iflight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iFlight official website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iFlight M8Q-5883 V2.0 GPS module with built-in compass for FPV drones: SAM-M8Q chip, 15 \u00d7 15 mm antenna, 10 Hz and 8 g.
