BE-880 GPS Receiver Module Compass 10th Chip NMEA-0183 115200bps 1Hz for Arduino, Replace BN-880 GPS

Upgraded my Iflight Titan running betaflight 4.4.3, previously with the BN180 gps. Swapped out with this M10 and WOW....what a difference. Quick sat locks and 16 says on average. On my longer flights of 10+ minutes I'm getting 27 sats. No need for the GPS saver dedicated power supply to warm up the GPS prior to plugging in so I removed it.

Be careful to get the one that supports the bad rate you need for communication. I ended up needing to buy two before I got it right, but that isn’t the fault of the module and they work great (I could also likely reprogram the rate if I dug in).

My old Gen 8 GPS took about 10 minutes to get 4-5 satellites. This got 8 in about a minute. Generous amount of cables included. Not sure why some BE-180 have a backup battery but this one doesn't.

I got this try and use with an APRS tracker because I liked the compact size and integrated antenna. I like that it came with cables for most every use case, but I am disappointed in the capabilities. Sitting in my window it takes 10 minutes to over an hour to acquire satellites on a cold start. My phone on my desk will get a lock on 10+ satellites in 15 seconds or so. In the window right next to this it gets 16+ satellites while this is still trying to get a lock. Once it does get a lock it seems to do OK, but the cold start times makes it useless for what I wanted it for.

Gets fix super fast. Better than matek m10q by a lot.

I used this in a inav fixed wing build. It locks fairly quick and is tough enough to withstand a hard landing or 2.

Work fine, note you will need to add correct the SBAS PRNs for it to work more accurate in UK. It can go <1m accuracy in good condition. Support up to 3 concurrent systems. Give accurate route for my use. The description does not say about Glonass but I managed to enable it and it works fine too. Use U-center for the configuration. Things to consider: - The internal compass need to be well calibrated before use, (all compass does but this one has way more offset). It is useless if not combined with other sensors for tilt compensation. - The backup battery only last for around 30mins (I did leave it charged for 2 days) where it should last for at least weeks or months. This is bad so I gave it 4 stars.

Perfetto

Nutze es für FPV Copter, in Betaflight. Läuft bei mir nur unter Ublox. galileo wird mit verwendet. Findet maximal 14 Satalieten. Ein Warmstart geht dann dann auch flott. mein anderes von Gep läuft besser und schneller

As the headline says, the GPS worked great, but the compass had issues. At boot up of my Flight Controller the GPS always worked fine, even indoors, but the compass was kind of hit or miss. Sometime it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. It calibrated just fine, but during normal operating conditions sometimes it would be stuck at one particular compass angle and other times it would respond normally. Needless to say, the compass caused numerous preflight arming errors.
