M9N GPS Standard 10-Pin

The Holybro M9N GPS Standard 10-Pin is a high-performance multi-constellation GNSS module designed for multirotors, fixed-wing UAVs, VTOL aircraft, autonomous drones, and robotic platforms.

Powered by the u-blox M9N GNSS receiver, it can receive and process GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou satellite signals simultaneously for improved satellite availability, accurate positioning, and reliable navigation performance.

The Standard 10-Pin version is designed for direct connection to the GPS Module or GPS1 port found on Pixhawk Standard flight controllers.

u-blox M9N GNSS Receiver

The M9N GPS is built around the u-blox M9N concurrent GNSS receiver.

Its multi-constellation architecture allows up to four major GNSS systems to be used simultaneously, helping improve satellite availability and maintain reliable positioning during UAV operations.

Multi-Constellation Positioning

The module supports GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS satellite systems.

Concurrent GNSS reception provides improved positioning reliability and greater satellite coverage in demanding operating environments.

Accurate & High-Rate Navigation

The u-blox M9N receiver provides positioning accuracy of up to 1.5 m CEP under suitable operating conditions.

Navigation update rates of up to 25 Hz provide responsive position data for dynamic UAV, VTOL, and autonomous navigation applications.

Integrated Compass

The M9N GPS is available with an integrated IST8310 or IST8308 compass depending on the selected version.

The onboard magnetometer provides heading information to compatible flight controllers and helps support accurate autonomous navigation.

Standard 10-Pin Pixhawk Connection

This version uses a JST-GH 10-pin connector designed for Pixhawk Standard GPS Module and GPS1 ports.

The single connection integrates GNSS, compass, RGB status indication, buzzer, and safety switch functions for simplified installation.

High-Gain Ceramic Patch Antenna

The integrated 25 × 25 × 4 mm ceramic patch antenna provides reliable GNSS signal reception.

Its omnidirectional radiation pattern offers flexible installation, while the onboard low-noise amplifier helps improve signal quality.

Integrated LED, Buzzer & Safety Switch

The module includes a bright tri-color RGB LED for clear system status indication.

An onboard buzzer and integrated safety switch provide convenient aircraft feedback and system control during setup and operation.

Rechargeable Backup System

The onboard rechargeable backup system helps retain satellite information after power-off.

This supports faster warm-start acquisition during repeated flight operations.

Professional UAV Applications

The Holybro M9N GPS Standard 10-Pin is suitable for multirotors, fixed-wing UAVs, VTOL aircraft, mapping drones, inspection platforms, autonomous aircraft, and robotic systems requiring reliable GNSS positioning.
