ReadytoskyM8N GPS Module Built-in Compass with GPS Antenna Mount for Standard Pixhawk 2.4.6 2.4.8 APM 2.6 2.8 Flight Controller

I could not calibrate the compass on a Tarot quadcopter I just built. The unit I was using was salvaged from a crash; ;thinking that it may have been damaged, I bought this one. The module arrived on time, and as soon as I installed it I was able to complete a successful calibration. I have not yet flown the aircraft as I am waiting on a receiver, but I expect it to work just fine.

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.

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

I had two. One with the kit that never worked and the second worked I believe but I had disable prearm gps fix in mission planner due to the troubles with the first resulting in a crash. The second has not been able to gain a fix stable enough for flight since. For the $60 required to get something working might as well try brand name gear.

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.PinoutsIf 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.

Love Ready to Sky!They have great products and super good quality at affordable prices!!This GPS is one of the best I have been using in my new Quad fast and accurate positioning.Thank you!!!

Ordered 2 units as spare parts for one of my company's Pixhawk aircraft. GPS worked, but magnetic compass element was defective on both.

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.
