Overview
This GNSS receiver module is a round, ceramic-antenna GPS/GNSS receiver with a built-in IST8310 electronic compass, designed for FPV and Pixhawk flight controller installations. The BE-610i uses the M10050 (ten generations) chip and outputs positioning data via a TTL-level UART interface, with NMEA/UBX protocols supported.
Key Features
- Global positioning receiver; multi-mode positioning
- Multiple interfaces connection methods mentioned: USB, DB9, and four bare cables
- Multi-system satellite support (varies by model/chip family shown): GPS/GLONASS/BDS/GALILEO/QZSS/SBAS
- Built-in electronic compass: IST8310 (I2C via SCL/SDA)
- LED indicators: power (red) and PPS (blue) status

Details

Compare key performance and interface specs across BE-610 series variants to pick the right chip version for your build.


The round ceramic antenna uses a 3M adhesive base for quick mounting on FPV frames and Pixhawk setups.

Flexible wiring options support common flight-controller installs, with performance charts for satellite search and tracking.


LED status helps confirm power and PPS lock at a glance while NMEA data streams over UART.


Full parameter list plus color-coded leads for UART (TX/RX), power, and compass I2C (SCL/SDA).

Pinout details cover TTL UART for GNSS data and I2C lines for the built-in IST8310 compass.


Package includes the BE-610i receiver module and the retail box.
