M5Stack RF Modules

M5Stack RF Modules feature an integrated built-in active antenna and provide high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times while maintaining low power usage. The modules integrate a 72-channel u-blox M8 GNSS engine. They support multiple GNSS systems ( Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS / QZSS ) and are able to receive 3 GNSS systems simultaneously. The series communication protocol between the M5Core and GPS is UART, physically connected via UART2 (GPIO16, GPIO17).

Features

  • 2.7 ~ 3.6 operating voltage
  • -40 ~ 80°C operating temperature
  • Built-in ceramic antenna and external antenna type
  • SMA external antenna port
  • Can receive data from 3 GNSS systems concurrently
  • Minimum 2.5m horizontal position accuracy
  • GPS module (NEO-M8N) built-in flash, upgrade firmware via u-center-just-for-Windows
  • NMEA, UBX, RTCM supported protocols
  • Industry-leading -167dBm sensitivity
  • Backward compatibility with NEO‐7 and NEO‐6 series

Applications

  • GPS-based logistics tracking management
  • Driverless car positioning
