Matek SAM-M10Q GNSS GPS Module

Exceptional GNSS Performance

The SAM-M10Q is a cutting-edge multi-constellation GNSS module powered by the renowned u-blox SAM-M10Q-00B platform. Designed to deliver unmatched precision, this module integrates the u-blox M10 standard precision GNSS platform, offering exceptional sensitivity and rapid acquisition times for all L1 GNSS signals. Whether you’re navigating urban environments or open terrain, the SAM-M10Q ensures optimal performance and reliability to meet your demanding positioning needs.

Highly Versatile Multi-constellation Support

One of the key standout features of the SAM-M10Q is its support for concurrent reception of four major global navigation satellite systems: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. By leveraging a high number of visible satellites, the module selects the strongest signals to maximize position availability and accuracy. This powerful functionality ensures improved navigation, even in challenging conditions like deep urban canyons where signal obstructions are common.

Advanced Technology and Compact Design

The SAM-M10Q incorporates u-blox Super-S (Super-Signal) technology, boosting RF sensitivity to deliver dynamic position accuracy even in non-line-of-sight scenarios. This feature is particularly valuable when navigating environments with obstructed signals. Complementing this technology is a high-gain 15 x 15 mm2 patch antenna, which strikes the perfect balance between size and performance. Its omnidirectional antenna radiation pattern further enhances versatility, allowing flexible installation for various device applications.

Whether you’re developing smart tracking systems, IoT devices, or navigation applications, the SAM-M10Q provides a robust, reliable, and efficient GNSS solution tailored for complex positioning needs. Experience enhanced sensitivity, reliable reception, and industry-leading precision packed into a compact form factor with the SAM-M10Q GNSS module.

Including

• 1 x JST-GH-4P to JST-GH-4P 20cm silicon wire

Wiring and Settings

• SAM-M10Q 5V to Flight controller 4~9V
• SAM-M10Q RX to Flight controller UART_TX
• SAM-M10Q TX to Flight controller UART_RX
• SAM-M10Q G to Flight controller GND

Tips and Notes

• INAV 5.0.0, Betaflight 4.3.0, ArduPilot 4.3 or newer is required.
• UBlox NEO-M9N, MAX-M10S, SAM-M10Q series all don’t have dataflash built in. once GNSS is powered off and the supercapacitor run out. the settings will back to default.
• UBX protocol is bidirectional. Flight controller firmware can change settings on GPS via UBX protocol. You don’t need to set GNSS module Baud and Frequency in u-center.
• The default configuration on SAM-M10Q-00B with ublox FW 5.1 is concurrent reception of GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou B1C with QZSS and SBAS enabled.
• Start with u-blox GNSS FW3.01, timepulse is aligned with UTC time and that time is set valid only after leap second is downloaded. That could take up to 12.5 min. Probably PPS LED will not blink immediately after GPS has 3D fixed.
• The SAM-M10Q 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. If you are sure wiring and setup are all right. but flight controller can’t detect the GNSS module(grey GPS icon), try doing reset.
• The scratches on ceramic antenna are the result of tuning the antenna.
