Matek System's latest GPS (GNSS, Global Navigation Satellite System) + Compass unit. To be added to a flight controller to enable position-based functionality.
Features
M10-5883 uses multi-constellation GNSS powered by u-blox SAM-M10Q-00B
Ultra-low-power GNSS antenna module for easiest integration
Simple design-in with no RF expertise required
Less than 38 mW power consumption without compromising GNSS performance
Maximum position availability with 4 concurrent GNSS reception
Advanced spoofing and jamming detection
Pin-compatible with previous SAM-M8Q

Tips
INAV 5.0.0, Betaflight 4.3.0, ArduPilot 4.3 or newer is required.
UBlox NEO-M9N, MAX-M10S, SAM-M10Q series all don’t have dataflash built in. once GNSS is powered off and the supercapacitor run out. the settings will 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 Baud and Frequency in u-center.
The default configuration on SAM-M10Q-00B 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, timepulse is aligned with UTC time and that time is set valid only after 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 SAM-M10Q provides the ability to reset the receiver. Bridging “RST” pad to 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 flight controller can’t detect the GNSS module(grey GPS icon), try doing reset.
The scratches on ceramic antenna are the result of tuning the antenna.

Important Notes
Compass Alignment(flat mounting): Tilting the magnetometer is strongly discouraged !
INAV/BetaFLight: compass Arrow forward, set CW 270° Flip when flight controller arrow is facing forward.
INAV/BetaFLight: compass Arrow backward, set CW 90° Flip when flight controller arrow is facing forward.
Ardupilot/Mission Planner: Rotation None.
Make sure to have compass/magnetometer 10cm away from power lines/ESC/motors/iron based material
