Description
The UBLOX NEO-M8N High Precision GPS Module is a multi-GNSS positioning solution designed for flight controllers such as APM and Pixhawk. It uses the u-blox M8 GNSS engine to receive signals from GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and SBAS systems, providing reliable positioning and navigation data for unmanned aircraft.
The module features a ceramic antenna and built-in compass for accurate heading information. Its RF architecture, active interference detection, SAW filtering, and additional low-noise amplification help maintain reliable reception in challenging environments. The NEO-M8N also includes internal Flash memory, allowing firmware updates and support for additional GNSS capabilities.
With support for AssistNow services, configurable update rates, odometer functions, and position/velocity/time data logging, it is well suited for autonomous flight, navigation, and GPS-assisted applications.
