MicoAir MG-F10-C L1+L5 Dual-Band GNSS Module

The MicoAir MG-F10-C is an L1+L5 dual-band GNSS module built around the u-blox NEO-F10N receiver, aimed at drone builders who need faster locks and tighter positioning than a single-band GPS module. Tracking L1 and L5 together cuts multipath error and ionospheric drift, which shows up as steadier RTH and waypoint navigation on long-range and autonomous builds.

Key features

• Dual-band L1+L5 reception across GPS/QZSS, Galileo, BeiDou and NavIC for stronger multi-constellation locks.
• Integrated IST8310 compass supplies the heading reference needed for INAV and ArduPilot navigation.
• High-gain 38dB four-arm helix antenna for fast acquisition and a strong signal lock.
• Supercapacitor-backed hot start returns a fix in around 2 seconds after a cold start of roughly 28 seconds.
• Firmware support for ArduPilot 4.4.0+ and PX4 1.14.0+.
