BN-880 GNSS GPS Module with Compass (M8N, 72 Channels)

BN-880 GNSS GPS Module with Compass (72 Channels, M8N-Class)

Get fast, stable GPS lock and accurate heading in a compact all-in-one unit. The BN-880 combines a high-sensitivity multi-constellation GNSS receiver with an onboard HMC5883L compass, making it ideal for drones, UAVs, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

With strong signal tracking and quick acquisition times, the BN-880 delivers reliable positioning and direction data even in challenging environments — all while staying lightweight and easy to install.

Key Features

• Multi-constellation GNSS support — GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS & SBAS for faster fixes and stronger coverage.
• High sensitivity & quick lock — tracks down to about -167 dBm; typical cold start ~26s (open sky).
• Integrated compass — built-in HMC5883L magnetometer for accurate heading.
• 1–10 Hz update rate — smooth position updates (default 1 Hz).
• Plug-and-play wiring — 6-pin connector with standard UART + I²C compass.
• Status LEDs — clear GPS lock and activity indication during setup.
