Foxeer M10Q-250 GPS 5883 Compass Module
Technical Highlights
Multi-GNSS Positioning
The M10Q-250 uses a 10th-generation M10 GNSS chip and supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, SBAS and QZSS reception. Its listed horizontal positioning accuracy is 1.5 m outdoors.
Integrated QMC5883 Compass
A built-in QMC5883 compass provides heading data through the module's I²C connections. The GNSS data connection uses UART, allowing the two functions to be wired separately to a suitable flight controller.
Configurable 1–10 Hz Output
The listed GNSS output rate is 1–10 Hz, with 10 Hz as the default. The module supports NMEA and UBLOX protocols and uses a 115,200 bps baud rate.

Installation Notes
Connect the module TX pin to a flight-controller UART RX pin, and the module RX pin to a flight-controller UART TX pin.
Connect 5V and GND to a suitable 5 V supply.
Connect SCL and SDA to the flight controller's I²C connections if the compass function is required.
Mount the ceramic antenna facing the sky and verify GNSS reception and compass orientation before flight.
Recommended Applications
FPV racing and long-range drone builds requiring GNSS positioning data and a separate compass signal.
FAQ
Does the Foxeer M10Q-250 include a compass?
Yes. This 5883 version includes a QMC5883 compass. It is not the M10Q-250 V2 version identified with an IST8310 compass.
How are the GPS and compass connected?
The GNSS function uses UART TX and RX connections. The compass uses I²C SCL and SDA connections. The module also has 5V and GND power connections.
What is the GPS output rate?
The listed output rate is configurable from 1 to 10 Hz, with 10 Hz as the default.
Is the 1.5 m figure guaranteed in every environment?
No. The listed 1.5 m horizontal positioning accuracy is specified for outdoor conditions. Actual reception depends on the installation and satellite visibility.
B2B Procurement FAQ
Which model and compass version should be stated on a purchase order?
Specify Foxeer M10Q-250 GPS with QMC5883 compass. Confirm the model marking and compass version during quotation to avoid substitution with the IST8310 V2 model.
Are cables or mounting accessories included?
The supplied archive does not establish the contents of the sales package. Confirm cables and accessories during quotation.
Are MOQ, lead time and customization available?
MOQ, lead time and customization terms are not established by the supplied product material. Confirm them for the required quantity during quotation.
