ublox M10 architecture with four star common reception

At the core of the OneGNSS Air M10 GPS Module is the ublox M10 GNSS chipset, which supports simultaneous reception of multiple satellite constellations. The four star common reception design significantly improves positioning reliability, especially in environments with signal obstruction or multipath interference.

This architecture enables faster cold start times, stable positioning during aggressive flight maneuvers, and consistent navigation accuracy during long duration missions. For UAV platforms operating in urban, industrial, or mountainous regions, these characteristics directly translate into improved flight safety and mission success.

MotioNew engineers often recommend this GPS module for platforms that require dependable GNSS lock during frequent takeoff and landing cycles or dynamic mission profiles.

Integrated IST8310 high precision compass

The OneGNSS Air M10 GPS Module integrates the IST8310 electronic compass, which is widely recognized for its stability and low noise characteristics. This high precision magnetometer provides accurate heading data that complements GNSS positioning and enhances overall navigation performance.

When installed with proper magnetic isolation, the IST8310 compass supports consistent yaw estimation even in electrically noisy UAV frames. This is especially important for platforms using advanced flight controllers and autonomous navigation algorithms.

For systems built around a modern Flight controller platform, the integrated compass reduces wiring complexity while maintaining accurate sensor fusion performance.

Built in safety switch, LED indicator, and buzzer

To support professional UAV operations, the OneGNSS Air M10 GPS Module integrates a safety switch, LED status indicator, and buzzer directly on the module. This integrated design simplifies system layout and improves operational safety during pre flight checks and arming procedures.

The LED indicator provides clear visual feedback on GNSS status, system readiness, and communication state. The buzzer offers audible alerts that are useful during outdoor operations or in bright environments where visual indicators may be difficult to see. The safety switch enables controlled arming behavior, which is essential for compliance focused and industrial UAV applications.

DroneCAN bus communication for reliable data exchange

The OneGNSS Air M10 GPS Module supports the DroneCAN bus communication protocol, allowing reliable and deterministic data transmission between the GNSS module and the flight control system. DroneCAN is widely adopted in professional UAV architectures due to its robustness, fault tolerance, and scalability.

By using DroneCAN communication, the module reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared to traditional serial interfaces. It also supports advanced network diagnostics and redundancy strategies, which are valuable in safety critical UAV deployments.

This makes the module suitable for complex platforms such as Multirotor Drone systems with multiple CAN enabled peripherals or vtol drone platforms that require coordinated sensor communication.

Mechanical design and installation considerations

The OneGNSS Air M10 GPS Module is designed with a compact and lightweight structure that supports flexible mounting options. Its form factor allows easy integration on top mounted GPS masts or internal avionics bays, depending on platform layout.

MotioNew engineers recommend installing the module with adequate separation from high current power lines and RF transmitters to maximize GNSS and compass performance. Proper orientation and vibration isolation further enhance positioning stability, especially on high thrust UAV platforms.
