Pixhawk 2.4.8 with aftermarket GPS

Hi,

I bought a used Pixhawk 2.4.8 from internet for $10 and it seems to work.

It didn’t come with any external modules ( safety switch, GPS, buzzer,…etc). I had some spare parts to be used but not for GPS. The compatible GPS module on Aliexpress costs $45.

I have HGLRC M100-5883 GPS which contain Ublox M10 + compass.

is there anyway to make my M100-5883 GPS work with pixhawk ?

you will need to adapt the wiring and connect it to a serial and i2c port using JST PH1.25 connectors.

I normally buy those connectors prewired as crimping them isnt easy.

Many thanks …

So I need to buy 4 pins and 6 pins JST 1.25mm sockets and make the wiring and that’s it ?

There is no need to worry about different voltage levels or protocols ?

no the voltages and protocols are all standard so it should work, just remmber you connect the GPS TX to the flight controller RX and RX to the TX.
