Specifications
- M9N-5883 uses multi-constellation GNSS powered by u-blox NEO-M9N , NEO-M9N is a concurrent GNSS receiver which can receive and track multiple GNSS systems. Owing to the multi-band RF front-end architecture all four major GNSS constellations, GPS,Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou can be received concurrently.
- More details about the NEO-M9N, pls check out u-blox NEO-M9N page

- Compass Alignment(Arrow forward and flat mounting): Tilting the magnetometer is strongly discouraged !
INAV/BetaFLight: CW 270° Flip when flight controller arrow is facing forward also.
Ardupilot/Mission Planner: Rotation None. - Protocol: Ublox or NMEA
- Make sure to have compass/magnetometer 10cm away from power lines/ESC/motors/iron based material
- The scratches on ceramic antenna are the result of tuning the antenna.
- u-center Windows
STL and STEP
Tips & Notes
-
Betaflight 4.2 doesn’t support NEO-M9N, Pls use BF4.3 or newer.
-
INAV2.5 ublox/ublox7/NMEA all don’t support NEO-M9N. M9N is supported by INAV2.6 ublox or ublox7 protocol(both run at 5Hz)
-
NEO-M9N is supported by ArduPilot 4.1 (latest)
- HD cameras(Gopro, Split, Tarsier, etc) could interfere GPS signal, try turning off HD camera before GPS 3D fix
- There are reports that Frsky X8R could interfere M9N GPS. If you are using X8R and GPS can’t get 3D locked. power off X8R then test.
- The NEO-M9N 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.
