    Ok, really guys... I haven't been on DIYD that much recently because I have lots of other stuff to do but even I now notice that you seem to be a bit "over-present" here... Just a word of advice - flooding a community with product announcements only works so long. At some point, people will just roll their eyes and think "they again?" and that will impact your business pretty negatively.

    About the product:

    Any specific reason why you use the old HMC5883L instead the HMC5983 which is the successor, temperate-compensated, more precise, more EMI/RFI-resistant and has some nice features, such as auto-calibration? Or even more cool stuff like the LSM303D?

    Hi Randy,


    yes the M8 is the most advanced GPS receiver from ublox.

    By the simultaneous reception of GPS and GLONASS Sats, often you receives more than 20 Sats.
    This then increases the HDOP below 100 cm.

    For me it is important that I have more Sats even under bad conditions.

    regards Peter

    Hello everyone! I've used several GPS (3DR GPS + Compass, OpenPilot GPS V8 and RCTimer GPS) in my APMMiniQuad, and unfortunately not provide good accuracy, so it is not possible to use them indoors or under cover.

    will be the most reliable option for APM?

    yet another product plug from CSGShop..  Is the special thing that it's the M8 ublox?

    Hello,

    there is also a pinout?

    regards Peter

    This is a really nice module, I am really hoping that the indoor super sense capability turns out to be useful by us.

    I would also like to see us develop a GPS / Glonass mix mode which could use both of them to refine readings and avoid glitches (if that is feasible).

    Sorry, missed the part about the compass, seems like it should be a straight drop in.

    Best Regards,

    Gary

    yes it will be great to have the same gps without compass.

    it seem to be very nice

    Where would this ship from? Your website contains no information as to your physical location, which is very poor form. This is important for buyers to know to consider delivery time and possible import duties.
